Explanation:

The Law of Momentum Conservation applies, and the formula for us here specific to this problem is:

[tex][(m_bv_b)+(m_mv_m)]_b=[(m_b+m_m)v_{both}]_a[/tex] and filling in:

[(1.50*4.50)+60.0*0)] = [(1.50 + 60.0)v] and

6.75 + 0 = 61.5v so

v = .110 m/s in the same direction as the ball
