Tom, 75 kg, and John, 95 kg, paddle their 35 kg canoes on the lake. Tom drops his only paddle in the water and it sinks to the bottom when Tom is 15 m from shore. John decides to try to bump Tom to the shore. Assuming the water is still, Tom is initially at rest, and John can move his canoe at 3 m/s, will John be able to bump Tom to the shore? You may use a coefficient of restitution of 0.8 and a coefficient of friction of 0.2 between the water and the boat.

15m
Tom, 75 kg, and John, 95 kg, paddle their 35 kg canoes on the lake. Tom drops
his only paddle in the water and it sinks to the bottom when Tom is 15 m from
shore. John decides to try to bump Tom to the shore. Assuming the water is
still, Tom is initially at rest, and John can move his canoe at 3 m/s, will John
be able to bump Tom to the shore? You may use a coefficient of restitution of
0.8 and a coefficient of friction of 0.2 between the water and the boat.
