Physics Question I Cant Figure Out?


An 80kg man is in a 35kg kayak and is pulling his 40kg son with a 15 m rope. When they get to their fishing hole the father pulls his son in. What distance does the son move relative to the still water?
I have tried work, momentum, energy, I Just cant seem to figure it out. This isn’t an actually homework question, its a review question for a test. Any one have any ideas on this one?
THanks
