Question

A 81-kg fisherman in a 133-kg boat throws a package of mass m = 15 kg horizontally toward the right with a speed of vi = 4.1 m/s as in the figure below. Neglecting water resistance, and assuming the boat is at rest before the package is thrown, find the velocity of the boat after the package is thrown.

Neglecting water resistance, and assuming the boat is at rest before the package is thrown, find the velocity of the boat after the package is thrown.

Explanation / Answer

using th econservation of momnetum

total initial momentum= 0

Total final momnetum= ( 81+ 133)V + 15(4.1)

( 81+ 133)V + 15(4.1) =0

solving for v,

v = - 0.287m/s apprx ( towards left)

v= 0.287 m/s towards left
