Two passengers with masses MR=40 kg and ML=60 kg are standing on the two ends of A boat with mass Mb=100 kg. The length of the boat is L=10 m and its center of mass is in the middle of the boat

a) The two passengers start running toward each other with equal speeds u=1 m/s relative to the boat. With what velocity V=? does the boat start moving? b) After the two passengers reach each other at the center of the boat, how far

d=? has the boat moved?
c) If instead of running toward each other, passenger with mass MR=40 kg does

not move and the other passenger with mass ML=60 kg move and meet him at the other end of the boat, how much d’=? has the boat moved?
