Usually We Do Not Walk Or Even Stand On A Lightweight Boat Or Raft Because Of The Danger Of Falling Into The Water If 1 (40.75 KiB) Viewed 17 times

Usually, we do not walk or even stand on a lightweight boat or raft because of the danger of falling into the water. If you have ever stepped off a small boat onto a dock, however, you have probably noticed that the boat moves away from the dock as you step toward the dock or out of the boat. A heavy dog running on a long lightweight raft presents a similar situation. At first, the raft and the dog are at rest with respect to the water (see figure A below) so that v = 0. The dog then runs on top of the raft at v=vwith respect to the water (see figure B below). The dog has half the mass of the raft. Find an expression for the velocity of the raft after the dog began running. (Use the following as necessary: Vd.) v₁ = Need Help? A. B. Read It = 0
