A 18 kg canoe moving to the left at 12 m/s makes an elastic head-on collision with a 15 kg raft moving to the right at 14 m/s. After the collision, the raft moves to the left at 13.2 m/s. Disregard any effects of the water.   a) Find the velocity of the canoe after the collision.     b) Verify your answer by calculating the total kinetic energy before and after the collision.
