Answer:
2.43J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of the arrow = 0.155kg
Velocity = 31.4m /s
Unknown:
Kinetic energy when it leaves the bow = ?
Solution:
The kinetic energy of a body is the energy in motion of the body;
it can be derived using the expression below:
K.E = m v²
m is the mass
v is the velocity
Solve for K.E;
K.E = x 0.155 x 31.4 = 2.43J

Explanation:
Assuming the liquid to be water ,
the density of water is :
Buoyant force exerted by a liquid on an object with of it's volume immersed is :
where ,
- is the buoyant force
- is the density of the liquid
- is the acceleration due to gravity
Thus at equilibrium:
from these , we get the density of brass to be
which is not possible
Thank you for your question, what you say is true, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the Moon has to be equal to the centripetal force.
An interesting application of this principle is that it allows you to determine a relation between the period of an orbit and its size. Let us assume for simplicity the Moon's orbit as circular (it is not, but this is a good approximation for our purposes).
The gravitational acceleration that the Moon experience due to the gravitational attraction from the Earth is given by:
ag=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2
Where G is the gravitational constant, M stands for mass, and r is the radius of the orbit. The centripetal acceleration is given by:
acentr=(4 pi2 r)/T2
Where T is the period. Since the two accelerations have to be equal, we obtain:
(4 pi2 r) /T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2
Which implies:
r3/T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/4 pi2=const.
This is the so-called third Kepler law, that states that the cube of the radius of the orbit is proportional to the square of the period.
This has interesting applications. In the Solar System, for example, if you know the period and the radius of one planet orbit, by knowing another planet's period you can determine its orbit radius. I hope that this answers your question.
