Given information
We have given that:-
A person jumps from a tree to the ground and he is going to strike the ground.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Consider this problem as a very light object hitting and sticking to a very heavy object. The large object–small object combination (Earth jumper) + would have some momentum after the collision, but due to the very large mass of the Earth, the velocity of the combination is so small that it is not measurable. Thus the jumper lands on the Earth, and nothing more happens.
