The figure below shows a fisherman in a boat on a lake. The fisherman's mass is 77 kg, and the boat's is 132 kg. The fisherman and boat are initially at rest when the fisherman throws a package of mass m = 15 kg horizontally to the right with a speed of v₁ = 4.6 m/s. What is the velocity of the boat after the package is thrown? Neglect any resistance force from the water. (Give the magnitude in m/s, and select the correct direction from the options given.) magnitude direction ---Select--- m/s

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

Physics homework question answer, step 1, image 1Mass of fisherman (mf)= 77kg 

Mass of boat (mb) = 132kg 

Mass of package (m)= 15kg 

Fisherman throws the package horizontally with speed  ( vi)= 4.6m/s 

Initially (fisherman+boat) are at rest.
