You are watching people practicing archery when you wonder how fast an arrow is shot from a bow. With a flash of insight you rem

ember your physics and see how you can easily determine what you want to know by a simple measurement. You ask one of the archers to pull back her bow string as far as possible and shoot an arrow horizontally. The arrow strikes the ground 107 feet from the archer making an angle of 3 degrees below the horizontal. What is the initial speed of the arrow?

Answer:

u_x=55.208\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

horizontal distance form the point of shooting where the arrow hits ground, s=107\ ft =32.614\ m

angle below the horizontal form the point of release of arrow where it hits ground, \theta=3^{\circ}

<u>So the height above the ground from where the arrow was shot:</u>

\tan3^{\circ}=\frac{h}{107}

h=5.6076\ ft=1.71\ m

  • Since the arrow is shot horizontally so the initial vertical component of the velocity is zero ( u_y=0 ), we've the final vertical component of the velocity as:

v_y=\sqrt{2g.h}

v_y=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 1.71}

v_y=5.789\ m.s^{-1}

Using equation of motion:

v_y=u_y+g.t

where:

t = time taken

5.789=0+9.8\times t

t=0.591\ s

  • Now the horizontal component of speed of the arrow (which remains constant throughout the motion by the Newton's first law of motion):

u_x=\frac{s}{t}

u_x=\frac{32.614}{0.591}

u_x=55.208\ m.s^{-1}

Based on the free-body diagram, the net force acting<br> on this firework is
Strike441 [17]

0N. The net force acting on this firework is 0.

The key to solve this problem is using the net force formula based on the diagram shown in the image. Fnet = F1 + F2.....Fn.

Based on the free-body diagram, we have:

The force of gases is Fgases = 9,452N

The force of the rocket Frocket = -9452

Then, the net force acting is:

Fnet = Fgases + Frocket

Fnet = 9,452N - 9,452N = 0N

The temperature inside my refrigerator is about 4 degrees C. If I place a balloon in my fridge that initially has a temperature
maksim [4K]

v

Convert the given temperatures from celsius to kelvin since we are dealing with gas.

To convert to kelvin, add 273.15 to the temperature in celsius.

T1 = 22 + 273.15 = 295.15 k

T2 = 4 + 273.15 = 277.15 k

V1 = 0.5 L

Let's find the final volume (V2).

To solve for V2 apply Charles Law formula below:

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

eimsori [14]
<span>9000 Pascals Looking on the internet, it appears that a human can only suck about 3 feet of water. So let's convert that measurement into a few more convenient units. cmH2O = 36 * 2.54 = 91.44 cmH2O cmHg = 91.44 * 0.73555912101486 = 67.26 mmHg Pascal = 91.44 * 98.0665 = 8967 Pascals PSI = 91.44 * 0.0142233 = 1.3 psi Since we're dealing with science and the metric system is the most common system used in science, I'd recommend an answer of 9000 Pascals.</span>
