A 67 kg man stands at the front end of a uniform boat of mass 179 kg and of length, L = 2.5 m. Assume there is no friction or drag between the boat and water. (a) What is the location of the center of mass of the system when the origin of our coordinate system (i) on the man's original location (ii) on the back end of the boat? [4 marks]
(b) If the man walks from the front end to the back end of the boat, by how much is the boat displaced? [3 marks]
(c) Now consider the man and his friend with identical mass of 67 kg are rowing the boat on a hot summer afternoon when they decide to go for a swim. The man jumps off the front of the boat at speed 3 m/s and his friend jumps off the back at speed 4 m/s. If the boat was moving forward at 1.5 m/s when they jumped, what is the speed of the boat after their jump?

Arunner is jogging at a steady 3.6 km/hr. when the runner is 2.9 km from the finish line, a bird begins flying from the runner to the finish line at 14.4 km/hr (4 times as fast as the runner). when the bird reaches the finish line, it turns around and flies back to the runner. even though the bird is a dodo, we will assume that it occupies only one point in space, i.e., a zero-length bird. how far does the bird travel? (b) after this first encounter, the bird then turns around and flies from the runner back to the finish line, turns around again and flies back to the runner. the bird repeats the back and forth trips until the runner reaches the finish line. how far does the bird travel from the beginning? (i.e. include the distance traveled to the first encounter)
