Assume that the force of a bow on an arrow behaves like the spring force. In aiming the arrow, an archer pulls the drawstring ba

ck 60 cm from its rest position and holds it in position with a force of 166 N. If the mass of the arrow is 54 g and the "spring" is massless, what is the speed (in m/s) of the arrow immediately after it leaves the bow?

Answer: 42.95m/s

Explanation:

The magnitude of the force of the spring is given as

kx = 166N

From the question, we know that x = 60cm = 0.6m

Then, the constant of the spring would be k = 166/0.6 = 276.7N/m

When the bow is pulled back 60cm, the potential energy of the arrow is.

PE = 1/2kx²

PE = 0.5 * 276.67 * 0.6²

PE = 49.8J

Finally, the speed of the arrow can be found by using principle of conservation of energy, that states that, the total energy of an isolated system remains constant and conserved over time. This means, energy is neither created nor destroyed.

1/2kx² = 1/2mv²

kx² = mv²

v² = kx²/m

v² = 276.67 * 0.6²/ 0.054

v² = 1844.5

v = 42.95m/s

Star A and Star B have measured stellar parallax of 1.0 arc second and 0.75 arc second, respectively. Which star is closer? How
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Star A is closer than Star B

Explanation:

As we know that in parallax method of distance measurement the angle subtended by the star when it covers a distance of one Parsec arc length, it is known as parallax angle

Here we can say

angle = \frac{1 Parsec}{distance}

so we have

distance = \frac{1 Parsec}{angle}

so here we have

angle subtended by Star A = 1 arc sec

angle subtended by star B = 0.75 arc sec

now we have

distance for star A is given as

d_a = \frac{1 Parsec}{1} = 1 Parsec

distance of star B is given as

d_b = \frac{1 Parsec}{0.75} = 1.33 Parsec

So star A is closer than star B

Because atoms of elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same number of neutrons, they have similar properties
AURORKA [14]
False. What actually determines the properties of elements are the electrons, or aka valence electrons. They are used to bond, which determines its properties.

Which choice correctly describes what happens during heating?
Masja [62]

Answer:

Option 4

Explanation:

During heating actually heat transfer takes place from a body at higher temperature to a body at lower temperature and the heat transfer takes place until both attain the same temperature  

Therefore heat transfer depends on the temperature of the systems

Now while comparing the thermal energies of the systems, if both the systems have same mass then the system which is at higher temperature has greater thermal energy when compared to the system which is at lower temperature

So in this case assuming that both the systems have same mass then the energy will leave the system with greater thermal energy and go into the system with less thermal energy as the system with greater thermal energy in this case will be at higher temperature and we are considering this assumption because thermal energy not only depends on temperature but also depends on mass of the system
