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)

What happens if you reverse the orientation of the permanent magnet? why?
belka [17]
If one reverse the orientation of a permanent magnet ITS MAGNETIZATION WILL BE PERMANENTLY REVERSED. This is because, the magnetic domains inside the permanent magnet aligned with the new applied field and increase with it while those domains that are anti aligned with that field will shrink.

Q7) A box sliding with a velocity of 5 m/s accelerates at 2 m/s^2. How
grigory [225]

Answer:

The box displacement after 6 seconds is 66 meters.

Explanation:

Let suppose that velocity given in statement represents the initial velocity of the box and, likewise, the box accelerates at constant rate. Then, the displacement of the object (\Delta s), in meters, can be determined by the following expression:

\Delta s = v_{o}\cdot t+\frac{1}{2}\cdot a\cdot t^{2} (1)

Where:

v_{o} - Initial velocity, in meters per second.

t - Time, in seconds.

a - Acceleration, in meters per square second.

If we know that v_{o} = 5\,\frac{m}{s}, t = 6\,s and a = 2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, then the box displacement after 6 seconds is:

\Delta s = 66\,m

The box displacement after 6 seconds is 66 meters.

(i). A ball of mass 1.500 kg is attached to the end of a cord 1.50 m long. The ball moves in a horizontal circle. If the cord ca
Aleks04 [339]

(a) Let v be the maximum linear speed with which the ball can move in a circle without breaking the cord. Its centripetal/radial acceleration has magnitude

a_{\rm rad} = \dfrac{v^2}R

where R is the radius of the circle.

The tension in the cord is what makes the ball move in its plane. By Newton's second law, the maximum net force on it is

F = (1.500\,\mathrm{kg}) a_{\rm rad}

so that

(1.500\,\mathrm{kg}) \dfrac{v^2}{1.50\,\rm m} = 64.0\,\mathrm N

Solve for v :

v^2 = \dfrac{(64.0\,\mathrm N)(1.50\,\mathrm m)}{1.500\,\rm kg} \\\\ \implies \boxed{v = 8.00 \dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}

(b) The net force equation in part (a) leads us to the relation

F = \dfrac{mv^2}R \implies v = \sqrt{\dfrac{FR}m}

so that v is directly proportional to the square root of R. As the radius R increases, the maximum linear speed v will also increase, so the cord is less likely to break if we keep up the same speed.
