  • The total momentum starts at zero. The total ending momentum is mass_of_raft*raft_velocity + mass_of_swimmer*swimmer_velocity These must be the same (conservation of momentum). mass_of_raft*raft_velocity + mass_of_swimmer*swimmer_velocity = 0 191 * raft_velocity + 50 * 4.57 = 0 raft_velocity = - (50 * 4.57) / 191
