In the Hunger Games movie, Katniss Everdeen fires a 0.0200-kg arrow from ground level to pierce an apple up on a stage. The spri

ng constant of the bow is 330 N/m and she pulls the arrow back a distance of 0.55 m. The apple on the stage is 5.00 m higher than the launching point of the arrow. At what speed does the arrow (a) leave the bow? (b) strike the apple?

Answer:

a) v=99.8584\ m.s^{-1}

b) v'=99.366\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the arrow, m=0.02\ kg

stiffness constant of the bow, k=330\ N,m^{-1}

distance of pulling back the arrow on the bow from its mean position, \Delta x=0.55\ m

height of the apple targeted, h=5\ m

<u>Force on the arrow due to the stiffness of the bow:</u>

F=k.\Delta x

F=330\times 0.55

F=181.5\ N

Now the acceleration of the arrow upwards:

a=\frac{F}{m}

a=\frac{181.5}{0.02}

a=9075\ m.s^{-2}

a) For the course of motion when the arrow leaves the bow after the stretch is relaxed we consider that the arrow left the bow after its string goes to the mean position. During this phase the arrow also faces gravity in the downward direction.

Using the equation of motion:

v^2=u^2+2(a-g).\Delta x

where:

v= velocity with which the arrow leaves the bow

u= initial velocity of the arrow after it left

v^2=0^2+2\times (9075-9.81)\times 0.55

v=99.8584\ m.s^{-1}

b) Now when the arrow travels up then it is under a constant gravitational force acting opposite to the motion.

<u>Using eq. of motion:</u>

v'^2=v^2-2\times g.h

where:

v'= final velocity when the arrow hits the target

v= initial velocity after the arrow has been launched

v'^2=99.8584^2-2\times 9.81\times 5

v'=99.366\ m.s^{-1}

Fighter jet starting from airbase A flies 300 km east , then 350 km at 30° west of north and then 150km north to arrive finally
Tems11 [23]
A jet fighter flies from the airbase A 300 km East to the point M. Then 350 km at 30° West of North.
It means : at 60° North of West. So the distance from the final point to the line AM is :
350 · cos 60° = 350 · 0.866 = 303.1 km
Let`s assume that there is a line N on AM.
AN = 125 km and NM = 175 km.
And finally jet fighter flies 150 km North to arrive at airbase B.
NB = 303.1 + 150 = 453.1 km
Then we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
d ( AB ) = √(453.1² + 125²) = √(205,299.61 + 15,625) = 470 km
Also foe a direction: cos α = 125 / 470 = 0.266
α = cos^(-1) 0.266 = 74.6°
90° - 74.6° = 15.4°
Answer: The distance between the airbase A and B is 470 km.
Direction is : 15.4° East from the North.

Which law of motion accounts for the following statement?
strojnjashka [21]
I know that its not the second law. I'm almost positive its the first one. Please let me know if I'm wrong. This sentence makes no sense when you put it with the third law. So, the first law is my guess...

An initially motionless test car is accelerated to 115 km/h in 8.58 s before striking a simulated deer. The car is in contact wi
hoa [83]

Answer:

a)       a = 3.72 m / s², b)    a = -18.75 m / s²

Explanation:

a) Let's use kinematics to find the acceleration before the collision

             v = v₀ + at

as part of rest the v₀ = 0

             a = v / t

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

              v = 115 km / h (1000 m / 1km) (1h / 3600s)

              v = 31.94 m / s

              v₂ = 60 km / h = 16.66 m / s

l

et's calculate

             a = 31.94 / 8.58

             a = 3.72 m / s²

b) For the operational average during the collision let's use the relationship between momentum and momentum

            I = Δp

            F Δt = m v_f - m v₀

            F = \frac{m ( v_f - v_o)}{t}

            F = m [16.66 - 31.94] / 0.815

            F = m (-18.75)

Having the force let's use Newton's second law

            F = m a

            -18.75 m = m a

             a = -18.75 m / s²

A 50 kg skydiver is falling downwards and accelerating 6 m/s2 down. What is the net force on the skydiver?
Montano1993 [528]

Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration)  (Newton #2)

Net Force = (50 kg) x (6 m/s² down)

Net Force = (50 * 6) (kg-m/s² down)

<em>Net Force = 300 Newtons down</em>
