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)

alex41 [277]

Answer: it becomes a positive ion

Explanation:

So, when an atom loses 2 electrons there will be no change in the number of neutrons. Therefore, an isotope will not form. Thus, it is concluded that when an atom with no charge loses two electrons, it becomes a positive ion.

Naddika [18.5K]
<span>Nuclear energy is cleaner while generating electricity. Nuclear fission provides energy without releasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. However, nuclear power plants generate significant amounts of radioactive waste.  That is why we should not choose nuclear energy over fossil fuel power plants.</span>
