A 16.0 kg canoe moving to the left at 12.5 m/s makes an elastic head on collision with a 14.0 kg raft moving to the right at 16.

0 m/s after the collision the raft moves to the left at 14.4 m/s assuming water simulates a frictionless surface, what is the final velocity of the canoe?

  • A 16.0 kg canoe moving to the left at 12.5 m/s makes an elastic head on collision with a 14.0 kg raft moving to the right at 16.0 m/s.
  • After the collision the raft moves to the left at 14.4 m/s assuming water simulates a frictionless surface.
  • Mass of the canoe (m1) = 16 Kg
  • Mass of the raft (m2) = 14 Kg
  • Initial velocity of the canoe (u1) = 12.5 m/s
  • Initial velocity of the raft (u1) = - 16 m/s [Here, the raft's velocity is negative, because the objects are moving in the opposite direction]
  • Total momentum of the system = m1u1 + m2u2 = [(16 × 12.5) + (14 × -16)] Kg m/s = (200 - 224) Kg m/s = -24 Kg m/s
  • Final velocity of the raft (v2) = 14.4 m/s
  • Let the final velocity of the canoe be v1.
  • Total momentum of the system after the impact = m1v1 + m2v2 = [(16 × v1) + (14 × 14.4)] Kg m/s = 16v1 Kg + 201.6 Kg m/s
  • According to the law of conservation of momentum, Total momentum of the system before the impact = Total momentum of the system after the impact
  • or, -24 Kg m/s = 16v1 Kg + 201.6 Kg m/s
  • or, -24 Kg m/s - 201.6 Kg m/s = 16v1 Kg
  • or, -225.6 Kg m/s = 16v1 Kg
  • or, v1 = -225.6 Kg m/s ÷ 16 Kg
  • or, v1 = -14.1 m/s

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>T</u><u>he final velocity of the </u><u>canoe </u><u>is </u><u>-</u><u>1</u><u>4</u><u>.</u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>m/</u><u>s </u><u>or </u><u>1</u><u>4</u><u>.</u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>m/</u><u>s </u><u>to </u><u>the </u><u>right.</u>

Hope you could get an idea from here.

explain how a mutation in an individual's DNA occurs, and describe the effect it may have on the individual's traits.
zysi [14]
A mutation in the DNA ca happen during growth, when the DNA splits and becomes RNA. Mutations can also occur from other invasive cells, such as bacteria or viruses. A mutation in your DNA can also be there from when you were born. These mutations can cause variations in your appearance, such as eye color, ability to see, taste, smell and the complexion of your face. The mutations can also result in variations in your growth, causing immature or late growth. These mutations are dangerous, and can result in failure of the organisms cells , to complete and utter death of an organism.
