A person stands in a stationary canoe and throws a 5.00-kg stone with a velocity of 8.00 m/s at an angle of `30.0^@` above the horizontal. The person and canoe have a combined mass of 105 kg. Ignoring air resistance and effects of the water, find the horizontal recoil velocity (magnitude and direction of the canoe. Assume the hori zontal component of the velocity of the stone is in the +x direction.

A

0.119 m/s , +x direction

B

0.119 m/s, -x direction

C

0.330 m/s, +x direction

D

0.330 m/s, - direction
