The 45-g arrow is launched so that it hits and embeds in a 1.40 kg block. The block hangs from strings. After the arrow joins th

e block, they swing up so that they are 0.40 m higher than the block's starting point.

Question: How fast was the arrow moving before it joined the block?

Answer:

The arrow was moving at 15.9 m/s.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy says that the kinetic energy of the arrow must be converted into the potential energy of the block and arrow after it they join:

\dfrac{1}{2}m_av^2 = (m_b+m_a)\Delta Hg

where m_a is the mass of the arrow, m_b is the mass of the block, \Delta H of the change in height of the block after the collision, and v is the velocity of the arrow before it hit the block.

Solving for the velocity v, we get:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2(m_b+m_a)\Delta Hg}{m_a} } $

and we put in the numerical values

m_a = 0.045kg,

m_b = 1.40kg,

\Delta H = 0.4m,

g= 9.8m/s^2

and simplify to get:

\boxed{ v= 15.9m/s}

The arrow was moving at 15.9 m/s

What is the period that corresponds to a<br> frequency of 39.5 Hz?<br> Answer in units of s.
tatiyna

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

  • <u><em>Therefore the time period is 0.02 seconds.</em></u>

Explanation:

Frequency:

The number of waves that pass a fixed place in a given amount of time. (or)

The number of waves that pas by per second.

The SI unit of the frequency is Hertz(Hz).

Time period:

The time taken for one complete cycle of vibration to pass a given point.

The SI unit of time period is seconds. (s)

Given:

Frequency (f) = 39.5 Hz

To calculate:

Time period (T)

We know;

According to the problem;

From the problem;

<u>f = </u>\frac{1}{T}<u></u>

Where;

f represents the frequency

T represents the time period

 f = \frac{1}{39.5}

 f = 0.02 seconds

<u><em>Therefore the time period is 0.02 seconds.</em></u>

A complete circuit contains two parallel connected devices and a generator for providing the electromotive force. The resistance
irga5000 [103]
We are asked to solve and determine the magnitude of the current flowing through the first device. In order for us to have a better understanding of the problem, we can refer to the attached picture which contains electric circuit diagram. Since it the problem we are already given with an electromotive source or the voltage supply and since the two resistance is in parallel, it would clearly mean that the voltage drop in each resistance is just the same. The resistance 1 uses the 40 volts at the same time the resistance 2 uses 40 volts also. Solving further for the current, we can apply Ohm's law which V = IR where "V" represents the voltage, the "I" represents the current and "R" represents the resistance.

Such as the solution in obtaining current is shown below:
I = V / R, substitute values we have it
I = 40 volts / 1208 ohms
I = 0.0331 Amperes

Therefore, the current flowing in the first device is 0.033 Amperes or 33 milliAmperes.
