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
The first step in solving 9 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Problem 22MCQTwo 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.
From the textbook chapter Momentum you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
