a. A 99.5 kg lumberjack is standing on log A. Initially he's at rest. Then he starts running forward and jumps off the log. If he jumps forward with a velocity of 3.075 m/s, what is the recoil velocity of the log? The log has a mass of 115 kg. Assume all velocity are relative to the ground. Previous submissions: b. Our lumberjack than lands on log B, also initially at rest. Both logs have the same mass. What's the final velocity of log B with our lumberjack landed and riding it.
