When they are ready to leave, Mike pushes Steven's cznoe with a force F to separate the tow canoes. What is correct to say about the final momentum and kinetic energy of the system?

A) The final momentum is in the direction of F but the kinetic energy is zero J
B) The final momentum is in the direction opposite of F but the final kinetic energy is zero.
C) The final momentum is in the direction of F and the final kinetic energy is positive
d) The final momentum is zero kg*m/s and the final kinetic energy is zero J
e) The final momentum is zero kg*m/s but the final kinetic energy is positive

Explanation / Answer

e) The final momentum is zero kg*m/s but the final kinetic energy is positive
