Homework Statement
The deck of the boat is parallel to the dock as you jump from the boat and the direction of your velocity as you jump is 30° above the horizontal. If the boat was stationary when you jumped and 1.5 m away from the dock, what is the horizontal speed of the boat (in m/s) after you jump to the dock? Assume that your mass is 70 kg and the mass of the boat (including the captain) is 1400 kg.
Homework Equations
Pf = Pi
(Fnet) = ma
The Attempt at a Solution
0 = m1vf1 + m2vf2
vf2 = -m1vf1/m2(fnet)x = Fcosθ = m1a1
a= Fcosθ/m1
(fnet)y = -Fsinθ + n - m1g = 0
I feel like I'm heading in the wrong direction right now. Please help
