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}

what happens to the current in a circuit if the resitance of the components in the circuit is increased​
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The current decreases.

Explanation:

Current and resistance are inversely proportional. The equation connecting current, resistance and voltage is V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current and R is resistance.

Rearranging this equation, you get:

I = \frac{V}{R}

and

R = \frac{V}{I}

If the value of voltage in both equations remains constant, and the value of R decreases, the value of I will increase. Conversely, if in the second equation R = \frac{V}{I} , the value of V remains constant the value of I decreases, then the value of R, resistance will increase.

Thus, it can be seen that the current will decrease as resistance increases and vice versa.

rs. Rushing fills a balloon with hydrogen gas to demonstrate its ability to burn. Which combination could she use to produce the
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Mg and HCl

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the combination that could be used in the production of the needed hydrogen

An important chemical property of inorganic acids is that when they react with metals, they give off hydrogen gas in conjunction with the formation of a salt

HCl is a mineral acid while Mg is a metallic substance

So the reaction between this metal and the mineral acids will give the needed hydrogen gas to be produced

A balloon having an initial temperature of 17.8°C is heated so that the volume doubles while the pressure is kept fixed. What i
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

T = 308.6 ^0 C

Explanation:

Here by ideal gas equation we can say

PV = nRT

now we know that pressure is kept constant here

so we will have

V = \frac{nR}{P} T

since we know that number of moles and pressure is constant here

so we have

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

now we know that initial temperature is 17.8 degree C

and finally volume is doubled

So we have

\frac{2V}{V} = \frac{T_2}{(273 + 17.8)}

so final temperature will be

T_2 = 581.6 k

T_2 = 308.6 ^o C
