Figure 1 Before D After An otter was sitting on one end of a log floating on a lake (assume that the center of mass of the otter was directly over the end of the log). The otter jumped into the air and landed in the water a distance d - 1.1 meters beyond the other end of the log, as shown in Figure 1 above. Assume that the log moved on the surface of the water with negligible friction. The mass of the otter was 33.3 kg. The mass of the log was 85.9 kg. The length of the log was 3.8 meters. Assuming there was no friction affecting the motion of the log, how far (in meters) did the log move before the otter splashed into the lake? [Note: this is asking for a distance, and a distance is always a positive quantity.
