Answer:
M = 0.115 kg
Explanation:
given,
mass of arrow = 120 g = 0.12 Kg
speed of arrow before it strike apple = 29.7 m/s
distance traveled by the arrow stick combination = 9.30 m
height of the son = 1.85 m
weight of the apple = ?
now,
time of flight of arrow and apple combination
using equation of motion
t = 0.614 s
s = 15.15 m/s
using conservation of momentum
m v = (M+ m) s
0.12 x 29.7 = (M+ 0.12) x 15.15
M+ 0.12 = 0.235
M = 0.115 kg
mass of apple is equal to 0.115 Kg
