Question: How fast was the arrow moving before it joined the block?
Answer:
The arrow was moving at 15.9 m/s.
Explanation:
The law of conservation of energy says that the kinetic energy of the arrow must be converted into the potential energy of the block and arrow after it they join:

where
is the mass of the arrow,
is the mass of the block,
of the change in height of the block after the collision, and
is the velocity of the arrow before it hit the block.
Solving for the velocity
, we get:

and we put in the numerical values
,



and simplify to get:

The arrow was moving at 15.9 m/s
Answer:
(a)0.531m/s
(b)0.00169
Explanation:
We are given that
Mass of bullet, m=4.67 g=
1 kg =1000 g
Speed of bullet, v=357m/s
Mass of block 1,
Mass of block 2,
Velocity of block 1,
(a)
Let velocity of the second block after the bullet imbeds itself=v2
Using conservation of momentum
Initial momentum=Final momentum







Hence, the velocity of the second block after the bullet imbeds itself=0.531m/s
(b)Initial kinetic energy before collision



Final kinetic energy after collision



Now, he ratio of the total kinetic energy after the collision to that before the collision
=
=0.00169
Answer:
6692J
Explanation:
Power is defined as the rate at which work is being done.
So,
Power =
Work done = Power x time
Given parameters:
Power = 478watts
Time = 14s
So;
Work done = 478 x 14 = 6692J
Answer:
Out of this, Area is not a fundamental physical quantity.
The variable is qualitative,
the quantitative variables are those that can be specified by a numeric value.
