The problem is missing some parts. But here are the questions and answers.

a.       Use the work-energy theorem to find its speed just as it left the ground 

Initial Kinetic Energy = GPE + KE

1/2 * m * V^2 = m * g * h + 1/2 * m * v^2

V^2 = 2 * 9.8 * 15.6 + 25.6^2

=sqrt 968.96

V (initial speed) ≈ 31.130 m/s

 

b.      Use the work-energy theorem to look for its maximum height. 

H = 968.96 / 2 * 9.8 ≈ 49.44 <span>m</span>

worty [1.4K]

Question: How fast was the arrow moving before it joined the block?

Answer:

The arrow was moving at 15.9 m/s.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy says that the kinetic energy of the arrow must be converted into the potential energy of the block and arrow after it they join:

\dfrac{1}{2}m_av^2 = (m_b+m_a)\Delta Hg

where m_a is the mass of the arrow, m_b is the mass of the block, \Delta H of the change in height of the block after the collision, and v is the velocity of the arrow before it hit the block.

Solving for the velocity v, we get:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2(m_b+m_a)\Delta Hg}{m_a} } $

and we put in the numerical values

m_a = 0.045kg,

m_b = 1.40kg,

\Delta H = 0.4m,

g= 9.8m/s^2

and simplify to get:

\boxed{ v= 15.9m/s}

The arrow was moving at 15.9 m/s

A hummingbird flies forward and backward. Its motion is shown on the above graph of horizontal Position and
harina [27]

Answer:

The hummingbird travels the total distance is 10 m

Explanation:

Given that,

A hummingbird flies forward and backward.

According to figure,

We know that,

The total distance is equal to the sum of all distance.

Forward direction is positive and backward direction is negative.

We need to calculate  the hummingbird travels the total distance

Using figure,

D=d_{1}+d_{2}+d_{3}+d_{4}

Put the value into the formula

D=6+(-4)+2+6

D=10\ m

Hence, The hummingbird travels the total distance is 10 m.

Write the answer:<br>physics ... i need help ​
Mariana [72]

Answer:

6 gallons

Explanation:

At 30 mph, the fuel mileage is 25 mpg.

After 5 hours, the distance traveled is:

30 mi/hr × 5 hr = 150 mi

The amount of gas used is:

150 mi × (1 gal / 25 mi) = 6 gal

Which of the following would decrease the resistance to the flow of an electric current through a body?
Nookie1986 [14]
R = ρ L/A. R= resistance, ρ= resistivity, L= length of the conductor. A = area of the conductor. Resistance is directly proportional to the length of the conductor. So if length of the conductor is decreased, resistance will also decrease. Hence A is the correct option

Write one example of a physical change and one example chemical change
mojhsa [17]
Physical change = changes the physical properties (more commonly known as it's look)
Chemical change = changes the chemical properties into an entire new chemical form
Examples of physical change would be melting ice cubes or sugar cubes.
Examples of chemical change would be cooking eggs or burning paper because you're changing its chemical properties.
