Question
The fisherman's mass is 69 kg, and the canoe's is 136 kg. The fisherman and canoe are initially at rest when the fisherman throws a package of mass 
m = 15 kg
 horizontally to the right with a speed of 
vi = 4.6 m/s.
 What is the velocity of the canoe after the package is thrown? Neglect any resistance force from the water. (Give the magnitude in m/s, and select the correct direction from the options given.)
A fisherman in a canoe throws a package of mass m to the right with velocity vector vi.
 
 
a) magnitude ?m/s
 
b) direction  ?toward the right ?toward the left ?upwards ?downwards
