- 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

Answer:CT scan
Explanation: CT(computerized Tomographic) Scan is a type of scan that is used to view bone fractures throughout the body by using a series of XRAYS which views from different angles. It has also been used to view complex bone fractures and injuries,liver enlargements,Heart diseases and cancers and other forms of tumors,it can also detect subatomic particles emitted by weakly radioactive glucose as it is consumed by the brain.
Answer:
529.92Newton Meters
Explanation:
Work=force x displacement
8books in total
force is 1.8kg
dispplacement is 4.6cm
times both units by 8 and u get
force - 14,4
displacement - 36.8
now times boht together and u get 529.92nm
Answer:
a coil rotating in a magnetic field to change its flux
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Carbon-14 levels in a sample are undetectable after approximately 9 half lives
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <em><u>The half life of Carbon-14 is 5,730 years . Half life is the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half of its original mass. Therefore, it would take a time of 5730 years for a sample of 100 g of carbon-14 to decay to 50 grams</u></em>
- <em><u>A period of 50,000 years, is equivalent to; </u></em>
<em><u> 50,000÷5,730 </u></em>
<em><u>= 8.73 half lives</u></em>
<em>Which is approximately equal to 9 half lives.</em>
- Therefore, if the age of an object older than 50,000 years cannot be determined by radiocarbon dating, then <em><u>Carbon-14 levels in a sample are undetectable after approximately 9 half lives</u></em>.
