Two friends are standing on opposite ends of a canoe. the canoe is at rest with respect to the lake. then the friend at the north end of the canoe throws a very massive ball to the friend at the south end of the canoe, who catches it. how does the canoe move, if at all, as a result? a. the canoe accelerates to the south. b. the canoe remains motionless. c. the canoe accelerates to the north

-- When the man at the North end throws the ball, the canoe
accelerates to the North.

-- While the ball is in flight, traveling south by the length of the
canoe, the canoe moves northward at a constant speed.

-- If the man at the south end misses the ball and fails to catch it,
then the canoe continues moving south at a constant speed, even
after the ball has passed him.

-- If the man at the south end successfully catches the ball, then the
canoe accelerates south at that moment, and comes to rest in the water.

Iwould sure like to answer your question but i honestly just don’t know
