A 16.0 kg canoe moving to the left at -12.5 m/s makes an elastic head on collision with a 14.0 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 velocity of the canoe after the collision?

When I did the problem, I got a velocity of 14.1 m/s.
