Anthony is just relaxing since its summer vacation and actually put on some weight too and is now 90 kg. He decides to hit up Lake Thunderbird in his 40 kg boat and chill. Anthony reaches the center of the lake and stops moving and then decides to start fishing. He starts to fish but accidentally threw the 10kg pole at 5 m/s horizontally away from him. Suddenly, the boat starts moving. What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of Anthony and the boat if the water really doesn’t have much friction with the boat?
