A 0.1 kg arrow with an initial velocity of 30 m/s hits a 4.0 kg melon initially at rest on a friction-less surface. The arrow em

erges out the other side of the melon with a speed of 20 m/s. What is the speed of the melon? Why would we normally not expect to see the melon move with the is speed after being hit by the arrow?​

Answer:

Speed of the melon = 0.25 m/s

we would normally don't see the melon moving due to friction with the resting surface.

Explanation:

We use conservation of momentum:

Pi = Pf

with Pi = 0.1 kg * 30 m/s = 3 kg m/s

and Pf = 0.1 kg * 20 m/s + 4.0 kg * V = 2 kg m/s + 4 * V

Then using the equality above, we solve for V (velocity of the melon)

3 kg m/s = 2 kg m/s + 4 V

1 kg m/s = 4 kg * V

Then V = 1 / 4  M/s = 0.25 m/s

So we would normally don't see the melon moving due to friction with the resting surface.

A speed skater moving across frictionless ice at 9.2 m/s hits a 5.0 m wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continue
enot [183]

Answer:

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

Explanation:

The distance travelled on the rough ice is equal to the width of the rough ice.

distance d = 5.0 m

Initial speed u = 9.2 m/s

Final speed v = 5.8 m/s

The time taken to move through the rough ice can be calculated using the equation of motion;

d = 0.5(u+v)t

time t = 2d/(u+v)

Substituting the given values;

t = 2(5)/(9.2+5.8)

t = 2/3 = 0.66667 second

The acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time;

acceleration a = ∆v/t

a = (v-u)/t

Substituting the values;

a = (5.8-9.2)/0.66667

a = -5.099974500127

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

vovangra [49]

c. The Moon is positioned directly between the earth and the sun is the statement that does not result in an eclipse.

Explanation:

  • The Sun is completely blocked in a solar eclipse because the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun.
  • it is just the right distance away from Earth, the Moon can fully blocks the Sun's light from Earth's perspective
