Note: Take East as the positive direction. A(n) 86 kg fisherman jumps from a dock into a 130 kg rowboat at rest on the West side of the dock. If the velocity of the fisherman is 3.2 m/s to the West as he leaves the dock, what is the final velocity of the fisherman and the boat? Answer in units of m/s.
