Express your answer numerically in meters per second.
Olaf is standing on a sheet of ice that covers the football
stadium parking lot in Buffalo, New York; there is
negligible friction between his feet and the ice. A friend
throws Olaf a ball of mass 0.400 kg that is traveling
horizontally at 11.1 m/s. Olaf's mass is 66.6 kg (
