The 49-g arrow is launched so that it hits and embeds in a 1.45 kg block. The block hangs from strings. After the arrow joins th

e block, they swing up so that they are 0.44 m higher than the block's starting point.
Required:

How fast was the arrow moving before it joined the block?

Answer:

the initial speed of the arrow before joining the block is 89.85 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the arrow, m₁ = 49 g = 0.049 kg

mass of block, m₂ = 1.45 kg

height reached by the arrow and the block, h = 0.44 m

The gravitational potential energy of the block and arrow system;

P.E = mgh

P.E = (1.45 + 0.049) x 9.8 x 0.44

P.E = 6.464 J

The final velocity of the system after collision is calculated as;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

6.464 = ¹/₂(1.45 + 0.049)v²

6.464 = 0.7495v²

v² = 6.464 / 0.7495

v² = 8.6244

v = √8.6244

v = 2.937 m/s

Apply principle of conservation of linear momentum to determine the initial speed of the arrow;

P_{initial} = P_{final}\\\\mv_{arrow} + mv_{block} = (m_1 + m_2)V\\\\0.049(v) + 1.45(0) = (0.049 + 1.45)2.937\\\\0.049v = 4.4026\\\\v = \frac{4.4026}{0.049} \\\\v = 89.85 \ m/s

Therefore, the initial speed of the arrow before joining the block is 89.85 m/s

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

he electron is directly transferred to NADP+ to NADPH, but electron flow is used to generate a proton gradient for ATP synthesis. Electron is not directly transferred to ATP

NADP= Nicotin amide adenine dinucleotide phosphate

NADPH =Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate is the reduced form of  NADP

therefore electron is not directly transferred to ATP
