To solve the problem, we will apply the principle of conservation of momentum. According to this principle, the total momentum of a closed system remains constant if no external forces act on it. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Masses and Velocities:** - Mass of the man (m1) = 50 kg - Velocity of the man (v1) = 1.8 m/s - Mass of the Earth (m2) = 6 × 10^24 kg ...
