Two identical arrows, one with twice the speed of the other, are fired into a bale of hay. Assuming the hay exerts a constant fr

Explanation:

When there is frictional force distance traveled by the arrow is s = (v^2)/(2μ_kg)

v= velocity of the object

μ_k = kinetic friction coefficient

g= acc. due to gravity.

as distance is proportional to square of the speed therefore the faster arrow penetrate a distance 4 times the distance penetrate by slower arrow.

What characteristic of a planet determines the acceleration due to gravity on it?
Korvikt [17]
The mass of a planet determines the acceleration due to gravity on it. This is according to Newton's Law of Gravitation, which basically states that the more mass a body has, the greater the force of attraction it exerts on other bodies with mass near it.

The gravitational force is:

F = GMm/r², where G is a constant, r is the distance between large mass M and small mass m.

Considering the fact that acceleration is force per unit mass, if we divide gravitational force by the small mass (to get force per unit mass), we see the dependence mathematically:

a = GM/r²

You are on a Parkour course. First you climb a angled wall up 9.5 meters. They you shimmy along the edge of a 3.5 meter long wal
makvit [3.9K]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Total distance covered = (9.5m + 3.5m + 15m) = 28 meters

Time to cover the distance = 43 seconds

Average speed = (28 meters) / (43 seconds)

Average speed = 0.65 meters/second

If something is traveling at 20 m/s constant velocity, is it in equilibrium? If a projectile is launched at a velocity of 20 m/s
Irina18 [472]

If something is traveling at 20 m/s constant speed AND its direction isn't changing, then its velocity is constant.  Another way to say that is: Its acceleration is zero.  Zero acceleration means zero NET force acting on the object, or a group of BALANCED forces acting on it, also called EQUILIBRIUM.  The required answer is: YES.

If a real projectile is launched, the force of gravity acts on it vertically downward.  There's no upward force acting on it to balance gravity.  Therefore, the forces on the projectile are NOT balanced, there IS a net vertical force on it, and it's NOT in equilibrium.  Too bad.
