5: Two friends are sitting at opposite ends of a canoe that is initially at rest floating on a frictionless lake. The person in the front throws a (heavy) medicine-ball toward the back, and the person in the back catches it. After the ball is caught, the canoe is A) stationary. B) moving backward as fast as the ball was moving. C) moving forward at half the speed the ball was moving. D) moving backward at a quarter of the speed the ball was moving.

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. There are several thousand masses large enough to detect by radar orbiting the earth, but there are far greater numbers of very small masses such as flakes of paint. Calculate the force exerted by a 0.110 mg chip of paint that strikes a space shuttle window at a relative speed of 3.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10-8 s. Such a collision chipped the window of the ill-fated Challenger in June 1983, causing $50,000 of damage.
