Consider a gravity-free hall in which an experimenter  of mass 50 kg is resting on a 5 kg pillow, 8 ft above the floor of the hall. He pushes the pillow down so that it  starts falling at a speed of 8 ft/s. The pillow makes a perfectly elastic collision with the floor, rebounds and reaches the experimenter's head. Find the time elapsed  in the process.

Best answer

Mass of the man (Mm) is 50 kg.
Mass of the pillow (Mp) is 5 kg.
When the pillow is pushed by the man, the pillow will go down while the man goes up. It becomes the external force on the system which is zero.
