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)

Daffy Duck is standing 6.8 m away from Minnie Duck. The attractive gravitational force between them is 5.4x10-8 N. If Daffy Duck
artcher [175]

Answer:

432.78 Kg

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Distance apart (r) = 6.8 m

Force of attraction (F) = 5.4×10¯⁸ N

Mass of Daffy Duck (M₁) = 86.5 kg

Mass of Minnie Duck (M₂) =?

NOTE: Gravitational constant (G) = 6.67×10¯¹¹ Nm²/Kg²

The mass of Minnie Duck can be obtained as follow:

F = GM₁M₂ / r²

5.4×10¯⁸ = 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 86.5 × M₂ / 6.8²

5.4×10¯⁸ = 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 86.5 × M₂ / 46.24

Cross multiply

6.67×10¯¹¹ × 86.5 × M₂ =5.4×10¯⁸ × 46.24

Divide both side by 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 86.5

M₂ = 5.4×10¯⁸ × 46.24 / 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 86.5

M₂ = 432.78 Kg

Therefore, the mass of Minnie Duck is 432.78 Kg
