Homework Statement
This is a conceptual question:
A ball is thrown to a person (at rest) on a skateboard. Should the person catch or deflect the ball to achieve the greatest velocity.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I thought it would be catching the ball, catching the ball means the force acting on the person for a longer duration of time and therefore larger impulse and larger change in momementum which means larger final velocity.
Thanks!
