a 85 kg swimmer dives horizontally off a 389 kg raft. if the drivers speed immediately after leaving the raft is 6 m/s what is the corresponding raft speed?

Step 1
Step 1: State the principle — horizontal momentum is conserved (assume the swimmer + raft system is initially at rest, so initial momentum = 0). Show more…
