The figure below shows a fisherman in a rowboat on a lake. The fisherman's mass is 78 kg, and the rowboat's is 122 kg. The fisherman and rowboat are initially at rest when the fisherman throws a package of mass  m = 15 kg  horizontally to the right with a speed of  vi = 4.9 m/s.  What is the velocity of the rowboat after the package is thrown? Neglect any resistance force from the water

Question
The figure below shows a fisherman in a rowboat on a lake. The fisherman's mass is 78 kg, and the rowboat's is 122 kg. The fisherman and rowboat are initially at rest when the fisherman throws a package of mass 
m = 15 kg
 horizontally to the right with a speed of 
vi = 4.9 m/s.
 What is the velocity of the rowboat after the package is thrown? Neglect any resistance force from the water. (Give the magnitude in m/s, and select the correct direction from the options given.)
A fisherman in a rowboat throws a package of mass m to the right with velocity vector vi.
magnitude m/sdirection
