When a man jumps out of a boat to the shore, the boat slightly moves away from the shore.

When a man jumps out of a boat to the shore, the boat slightly moves away from the shore. Correct Answer True

Initially, the total momentum of the boat and the man is zero. As the man jumps from the boat to the shore, he gains a momentum in the forward direction. To conserve momentum, the boat also gains an equal momentum in the opposite direction. So the boat slightly moves backwards.
