- 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

I think this would help you. Read this and make your own answer ok.
Answer: 4.98 m/s
Explanation:
You solve these kinetic energy, potential energy problems by using the fact P.E.+ K.E. = a constant as long as friction is ignored.
PEi = 0 in this case
KEi = ½mVi² = PEf+KEf = mghf + ½mVf²
½1210*8.31² = 1210*9.8*2.26 + ½1210*Vf²
½1210*Vf² = ½1210*8.31² - 1210*9.8*2.26
Vf² = 8.31² - 2*9.8*2.26 = 4.98² so Vf = 4.98m/s
Answer:Conversion of electric energy to Heat energy
Explanation:Energy is a quantitative energy measured in JOULES or KILOJOULES which must be transferred to a material for a job to be done. It has also been described as the capacity to do work.
In electric toasters the ELECTRIC ENERGY FROM THE SOURCE IS TRANSFERRED INTO THE TOASTER TO BE CONVERTED TO HEAT ENERGY NEEDED TO TOAST FOODS. Other electrical appliances which converts electric energy to Heat energy includes ELECTRIC BOILERS, ELECTRIC COOKERS etc.
Therefore, if the block moves from its position of maximum spring stretch to maximum spring compression in 0.25 s, the time required for a full cycle is twice as much; T = 0.5 s.
