Problem 6 Boatplosion + Droneplosion (a) You are stranded on a boat with no way to paddle to the shore (and no water current to move the boat). You have mass 2m and the boat also has mass 2m. In addition, you brought a weight from the physics lab that has mass m. Suppose you can throw the weight with a speed of to. If you throw the weight off the back of the boat, what will the speed of the boat (and you) be? (Be very carefull, the speed you can throw (up), is the speed the weight would be thrown according to you). (b) A drone with mass m is flying at speed vo (in the positive direction) when it suddenly explodes into three pieces. One piece with mass m, is immediately traveling in the opposite direction with speed and a second piece of mass m is traveling in the original direction with speed up. What is the direction and speed of the third piece?
