Question

Problem 22MCQ

Two friends are sitting in a stationary canoe. At t = 3.0 s the person at the front tosses a sack to the person in the rear, who catches the sack 0.2 s later. Which plot in Figure Q9.22 shows the velocity of the boat as a function of time? Positive velocity is forward, negative velocity is backward. Neglect any drag force on the canoe from the water.

Solution

Step 1 of 4)
