Note: Take East as the positive direction. A(n) 88 kg fisherman jumps from a dock into a 132 kg rowboat at rest on the West side of the dock. If the velocity of the fisherman is 4.5 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.
