Detailed Solution

A boy of mass 40 kg jumps off a boat with a velocity of 3m/s.The boat move with a momentum of -120kg.m/s.

Using momentum conservation,


m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2

m1=mass of boy   m2=mass  of boat
m1=40kg ,v1=3 m/s

   v2= velocity of boat

   u1=0   u2=0

40×0+m2×0=40×3+m2×v2

0+0=120+P boat 

here Pboat = momentum of boat

0=P boat+120
Pboat=  -120 m/s
