Can anyone help me solve these questions on momentum and impulse? Thank you!
1. A 55 kg swimmer is standing on a stationary 235 kg floating raft. The swimmer then runs off the raft horizontally with a velocity of +5.3 m/s relative to the shore. Find the recoil velocity that the raft would have if there were no friction and resistance due to the water.
2.In a football game, a receiver is standing still, having just caught a pass. Before he can move, a tackler, running at a velocity of +5.0 m/s, grabs him. The tackler holds onto the receiver, and the two move off together with a velocity of +2.6 m/s. The mass of the tackler is 119 kg. Assuming that momentum is conserved, find the mass of the receiver.
