William Tell shoots an apple from his son's head. The speed of the 105-g arrow just before it strikes the apple is 24.3 m/s, and

at the time of impact it is traveling horizontally. If the arrow sticks in the apple and the arrow/apple combination strikes the ground 9.50 m behind the son's feet, how massive was the apple? Assume the son is 1.85 m tall.

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to conservation of the Moment and the cinematic equations of movement description. By definition we know that the conservation of the moment is given by

m_1V_1 = (m_1+m_2)V

Where,

m_i = Mass

V_i = Velocity

From the kinematic equations of motion we know that displacement as a function of acceleration (in this case gravity) is given by,

h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

Where h is the height, g the gravity and t the time,

t= \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

The horizontal velocity would be given as,

V = \frac{X}{t}

V = \frac{X}{\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}}

V = \frac{9.5}{\sqrt{\frac{2(1.85)}{9.8}}}

V= 5.83m/s

Replacing in our first equation we have that

m_1V_1 = (m_1+m_2)V

Solving for m_2

m_2 = m_1(\frac{V1}{V} - 1)= 0.105 (\frac{24.3}{5.83} - 1)

m_2=0.332kg = 332g

Therefore the apple had 332g.

If you rub an inflated balloon against your hair and place it against a door, by what mechanism does it stick? explain.
Snowcat [4.5K]
When you rub inflated balloon with your hair or your kitten's fur, charge is induced on all over the balloon's surface. This is called "charging by friction" because you developed charges by rubbing to bodies with each other. It will also stick on your wall you can check it out. This is because of "unlike charges attract each other". Rubbed balloon and wall possessed unlike charges which made them stick together.

When the core of a star like the sun uses up its supply of hydrogen for fusion, the core begins to ________?
pav-90 [236]

When the core of a star like the sun uses up its supply of hydrogen for fusion, the core begins to contract in size. The gravitational forces becomes strong and cause the star to reduce in size. as the star contracts, the temperature of the star also rises since the heat is distributed inside smaller Volume now.
