If all the energy she put into bending the bow is completely
transmitted to the arrow, then the arrow has the 100 joules
of kinetic energy when it leaves the bow.

                 Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

                         100 J        = (1/2) (0.5 kg) (speed²)

Divide each side by 0.25 kg:    100 J / 0.25 kg = speed²

 [ joule ] = [ newton-meter ] = kg-m²/sec²

                                                100 kg-m²/sec² / 0.25 kg = speed²

                                                 400 m²/sec² = speed²

Take the square root of each side:     speed = √400 m/s

                                                                                20 m/s

                                                                    (about 44.7 mph)

A spring is characterized by a spring constant of 60 N/m. How much potential energy does it store, when stretched by 1.0 cm?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

3.0 x10^-3 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of a spring is given by PE = (0.5)k*x^2  

Where

K: Spring Constant = 60 N/m

x: displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position = 1cm = 0.01m

Then PE = 0.5(60)(.01)^2 = 0.003J = 3.0 x10^-3 J

8. An object accelerates 12.0 m/s2 when a force of 6.0 newtons is applied to it. What is the mass of the object? _______________
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Mass of object is 0.5kg

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 6N

Acceleration = 12m/s²

Mass =?

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is;

F = ma

Where;

F represents force.

m represents the mass of an object.

a represents acceleration.

Making mass (m) the subject, we have;

Mass (m) = \frac{F}{a}

Substituting into the equation;

Mass (m) = \frac{6}{12}

Mass, m = 0.5kg.

Therefore, the mass of the object is 0.5kg
