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

It has been suggested that a heat engine could be developed that made use of the fact that the temperature several hundred meter
lesantik [10]

Answer:

efficiency = 5.4%

Explanation:

Efficiency of heat engine is given as

\eta = \frac{W}{Q_{in}}

now we will have

W = Q_1 - Q_2

so we will have

\eta = 1 - \frac{Q_2}{Q_1}

now we know that

\frac{Q_2}{Q_1} = \frac{T_2}{T_1}

so we have

\eta = 1 - \frac{T_2}{T_1}

\eta = 1 - \frac{273+6}{273+22}

\eta = 0.054

so efficiency is 5.4%

Joe follows the procedure below to make a compass.1. Move a magnet from the top of a needle to its point fifty times.2. Lay the
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The purpose of step 1 is to induce magnetism into the needle, so that it retains magnetism and behaves as a magnet after the process.

Explanation:

The method of production the needle magnet in the procedure is the single stroke. This process involves a continuous stroking of a magnetic object (e.g needle) repeatedly for a period or number of times with a permanent magnet. Thus, when the permanent magnet is removed, the object retains magnetism, and behaves like a magnet.

The importance of the stroking process is the turn a magnetic object to a magnet by inducing magnetism into it.

Which of these would NOT produce visible light? A) flint B) lightning C) microwave D) sun
ioda

Answer:

A microwave

Explanation

The human retina can only detect incident light that falls in waves 400 to 720 nanometers long, so we can't see microwave or ultraviolet wavelengths. This also applies to infrared lights which has wavelengths longer than visible and shorter than microwaves, thus being invisible to the human eye.
