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)

finlep [7]

Answer:

Rhythmic Gymnastics

Explanation:

In general, the judges in the sports tend to be in charge for correcting and controlling the breaking of the rules in the particular sport. They are allowed to punish the competitors in accordance with the breaking of the rule, or they are there in order to determine weather a point is regular or not. In the rhythmic gymnastics though, and sports similar to it, the judges have different role, as they are in charge of determining the points earned by the competitors. This is done in a manner where every judge gives certain amount of points, or grades, and when those are summed up, the competitors get their total points.
