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.

A car is strapped to a rocket (combined mass = 661 kg), and its kinetic energy is 66,120 J.
Katen [24]

Answer:

9.4 m/s

Explanation:

The work-energy theorem states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object.

So we can write:

W=K_f - K_i

where in this problem:

W = -36.733 J is the work performed on the car (negative because its direction is opposite to the motion of the car)

K_i = 66,120 J is the initial kinetic energy of the car

K_f is the final kinetic energy

Solving for Kf,

K_f = W+K_i = -36,733+66,120=29,387 J

The kinetic energy of the car can be also written as

K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where:

m = 661 kg is the mass of the car

v is its final speed

Solving, we find

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(29,387)}{661}}=9.4 m/s

What is the reason behind superposition?why waves behave this way?
marshall27 [118]

Explanation:

Most waves appear complex because they result from two or more simple waves that combine as they come together at the same place at the same time—a phenomenon called superposition. Waves superimpose by adding their disturbances; each disturbance corresponds to a force, and all the forces add

Newton’s Laws of Motion are absolute in classical physics. One example that uses all three laws simultaneously is the firing of
Debora [2.8K]
I think that by "Classical physics" is meant low speed things. By low speed, I think is meant speed far below very roughly half the speed of light, so that Relativistic, special or general, effects can be ignored. Or at least it is hoped that they can be ignored. 
Fire extinguishers and rockets get propelled by forcing out large amounts of material (gases under very high pressure) through a nozzle, and the RECOIL from that propels something forward. So, if the action is the ejection of material, the reaction (recoil) is the ejector moving along the same line in the other direction. And that's an example of Newton's third law. 
Given a propulsion system, the magnitude of the force recoiling on the ejector will change the momentum of the ejector, often written as the equation F=ma where F is the force, m is the mass being accelerated, and a being the acceleration.
Just as something will stay still until it is moved - inertia - so once set in uniform motion in a straight line, the thing will continue in that motion, theoretically for ever or until something alters its momentum. Newton's first law is to the effect of "every body continues in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted on by a resultant external force". Which, I think, is where the concept of inertia stems from. 
I think that the above mostly tcuches on the 3 laws.Any more help needed, please ask.

Is position a base or derived quantity?
amid [387]

Position is measured in meters (m), so it is a base quantity.

<h3>What is base quantity?</h3>

A base or fundamental  quantity is a physical quantity, in which other quantities are derived from.

Example of fundamental quantities;

  • Mass
  • Length (position)
  • Time
  • Temperature
  • Amount of substance

<h3>What is a derived quantity?</h3>

Derived quantities are those quantities obtained or expressed from fundamental quantities.

Example of derived quantities;

  • Speed
  • Acceleration
  • Volume
  • Area
  • Density, etc

Thus, we can conclude that position measured in meters (m) is a base quantity.
