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.

Alla [95]

Answer:

The correct option is (a).

Explanation:

We know that, the E is inversely proportional to the distance as follows :

E=\dfrac{k}{d^2}

We can write it as follows :

\dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=(\dfrac{d_2}{d_1})^2

Put all the values,

\dfrac{1000}{2000}=(\dfrac{d_2}{d})^2\\\\\sqrt{\dfrac{1000}{2000}}=(\dfrac{d_2}{D})\\\\0.7071=\dfrac{d_2}{d}\\\\d_1=0.7071D\\\\d_1=\dfrac{D}{\sqrt2}

So, the correct option is (a).

What is the difference between a negative feedback system and a positive feedback system?
Anni [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The negative feedback is responsible for maintaining equilibrium (stability) in a system as it lessens effects, which is contrary to positive feedback which increases reaction and moves a system further away from equilibrium (stability), It does so by amplifying the effects of a product or event and occurs when something needs to happen quickly. e.g

  • Insulin lowers down blood sugar levels, so when the body detects that it has too much sugar, the pancreas is prompted to release insulin and only stops when balance is achieved; hence, negative feedback.  
  •  When there is a tear on the skin, a chemical is released. This chemical causes platelets in the blood to activate, hence they release a chemical which signals more platelets to activate, until the wound is clotted, positive feedback.

Can molecules with double or triple bonds twist
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

The only way a twist may be done is if the trans form of an alkene/alkyne is twisted into the cis form--only if/when the pi bond is brokwn.
