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.

A particle executes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 2.18 cm.
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The positive displacement from the midpoint of its motion at the speed equal one half of its maximum speed is 3.56 cm.

Explanation:

Maximum speed is  :

                          v (max) = Aω

Speed v at any displacement y is given by  

v^{2} = w^{2} (A^{2} - y^{2})   ........................................................  i

And,

               v = \frac{1}{2} v (max)  

          or,  2 × v = Aω     ....................................................   ii

Eliminating  ω from equations i and ii,

                       \frac{1}{4} A^{2}  w^{2}  =  w^{2}  ( A^{2}  - y^{2})

                     or, y^{2} =  (\frac{3}{4}) A^{2}  =(\frac{3}{4}) 2.18^{2}

                    or,  y =  3.56 cm.

A damped harmonic oscillator consists of a mass on a spring, with a small damping force that is proportional to the speed of the
exis [7]

Answer:

2.19 N/m

Explanation:

A damped harmonic oscillator is formed by a mass in the spring, and it does a harmonic simple movement. The period of it is the time that it does one cycle, and it can be calculated by:

T = 2π√(m/K)

Where T is the period, m is the mass (in kg), and K is the damping constant. So:

2.4 = 2π√(0.320/K)

√(0.320/K) = 2.4/2π

√(0.320/K) = 0.38197

(√(0.320/K))² = (0.38197)²

0.320/K = 0.1459

K = 2.19 N/m
