A 16.0kg canoe moving to the left at 12.5m/s makes an elastic head-on collision with a 14.0kg raft moving to the right at 16.0m/

s. After the collision, the raft moves to the left at 14.4m/s. Disregard any effects of the water. Find the velocity of the canoe after the collision.

The canoe is moving at 14.1 m/s to the right after the collision.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of momentum, in absence of external forces the total momentum of the system must be conserved before and after the collision. So we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2

where:

m_1 = 16.0 kg is the mass of the canoe

u_1 = -12.5 m/s is the initial velocity of canoe (we take right as positive direction, and since the canoe is moving to the left, its velocity is negative)

v_1 is the final velocity of the canoe

m_2 = 14.0 kg is the mass of the raft

u_2 = +16.0 m/s is the initial velocity of the raft

v_2 = -14.4 m/s is the final velocity of the raft

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find: the final velocity of the canoe:

v_1 = \frac{m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2-m_2 v_2}{m_1}=\frac{(16.0)(-12.5)+(14.0)(16.0)-(14.0)(-14.4)}{16.0}=+14.1 m/s

So, the canoe is moving at 14.1 m/s to the right after the collision.

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer: 576.48 N*m^2/C

Explanation: In order to calculate the electric flux through the any surface we have to take into account the scalar product between the electric field vector and the normal vector to the surface.

So we have:

ФE= E*A= 1.33 * 10^4*0.0518* cos (33.2°)= 576.48 N*m^2/C

How large a net force is required to accelerate a 1600-kg SUV from rest to a speed of 25 m/s in a distance of 200 m
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

F=2496 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of SUV, m = 1600 kg

Initial speed, u = 0

Final speed, v = 25 m/s

Distance, d = 200 m

We need to find the net force. Firstly, let's find acceleration using equation of motion.

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2d}\\\\a=\dfrac{(25)^2-(0)^2}{2\times 200}\\\\a=1.56\ m/s^2

Net force, F = ma

F=1600\times 1.56\\\\F=2496\ N

So, the net force is 2496 N.

How does the angular diameter of an object change as you move away from the object?
7nadin3 [17]

Explanation :

Angular diameter of a sphere or a circle shows how large a sphere or a circle appears from a given point. It is the angle between the initial and final positions.

The angular diameter of a given sphere or a circle is given by :

             \delta =2arc\ tan\dfrac{d}{2D}

where \delta is angular displacement

d is actual diameter of object

D is distance to the center of sphere

So, angular displacement is inversely proportional to the distance from the object.

<em>Hence, as we move away from the object the angular diameter of an object gets smaller.</em>

The black mamba is one of the world's most poisonous snakes, and with a maximum speed of 18.0 km/h, it is also the fastest. supp
photoshop1234 [79]

Speed of the black Mamba = 18 km/h = 5m/s

now the distance that black mamba cover to catch prey

d = v*t

d = 5 * 2.5 = 12.5 m

Now it returns to its hide in 12 s

so average speed of return is given as

v_{avg} = \frac{12.5}{12} = 1.04 m/s

Part b)

For the whole trip we know that displacement of the mamba is zero

so average velocity of whole trip will be zero

Part c)

For average speed we know that total distance of the black mamba

d = 12.5 + 12.5 = 25 m

total time taken = 2.5 + 12 = 14.5 s

now average speed is given as

v = \frac{25}{14.5}

v = 1.72 m/s
