    Given that,

    Mass of the quarterback, m = 80 kg

    Mass of the football, m' = 0.43 kg

    Speed of the football, v' = 15 m/s

    We need to sort the following quantities as known or unknown.

    1. The mass of the quarterback = known = 80 kg

    2. The mass of the football = known = 0.43 kg

    3. The horizontal velocity of quarterback before throwing the ball = known = 0

    4. The horizontal velocity of football before being thrown = known = 0

    5. The horizontal velocity of quarterback after throwing the ball, = unknown quantity and it can be calculated using the conservation of linear momentum.

    6. The horizontal velocity of football after being thrown = known = 15 m/s

    Hence, this is the required solution.
