Well here in the sticks we call 'em fletchings haha

Answer:

Fletching

Explanation:

The arrows have plastic vanes or feathers at the end of it. These are known as fletchings. The purpose of these is to shift the center of pressure (COP) backwards. COP is the point where the pressure is supposed to be concentrated(acting) on a body similar to center of gravity (CG).

While the arrow is in flight it can divert from its path due to surrounding pressure. With the help of COP we can cancel out these unwanted motions making sure the arrow follows the desired path. The COP should always be at the opposite end of CG. Since CG in the arrow is in near the tip, fletchings are attached at the end to shift the COP towards the end and thus giving the required stability to the arrow while in flight.

A wheel in the shape of a flat, heavy, uniform, solid disk is initially at rest at the top of an inclined plane of height 2.00 m
olasank [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

If friction is neglected, the wheel cannot roll and can only slide frictionlessly and will have the same velocity at the bottom of the ramp as if it had been in free fall as it has converted the same amount of potential energy.

mgh = ½mv²

v = √(2gh) = √(2(9.81)(2.00)) = 6.26418... = 6.26 m/s

However if we do not ignore all friction and the wheel rolls without slipping down the slope, the potential energy becomes linear and rotational kinetic energy

mgh = ½mv² + ½Iω²

mgh = ½mv² + ½(½mR²)(v/R)²

2gh = v² + ½v²

2gh = 3v²/2

v = √(4gh/3) =√(4(9.81)(2.00)/3) = 5.11468... = 5.11 m/s

If a drop is to be deflected a distance d = 0.350 mm by the time it reaches the end of the deflection plate, what magnitude of c
Sloan [31]

Answer:

q = 4.87 X 10^ -14 C

Explanation:

As d=0.350 mm

The ink drop will be accelerated by the electric field between the plates:

a = F/m

d = a(D0 / v)^2 / 2 ...... 1

a = qE/m ............... 2

Substituting 2  into 1:

d = (qE/m)(D0 / v)^2 / 2

q = 2mdv^2 / [E(D0)^2]

q = 2(1.00e-11 kg)(3.50e-4 m)(15.0 m/s)^2 / [(7.70e4 N/C)(2.05e-2 m)^2]

q = 4.87e-14 C

A clock on a moving train runs __________ an identical clock at rest.
katovenus [111]

It depends who is watching it.

-- A passenger on the train says that his clock is normal, but the clock at the station he just passed is running slow.

-- A ticket agent at the station says that his clock is normal, but the clock on the train that just rolled through is running slow.

-- They're both correct, but ...

-- The difference is too small for either of them to notice, unless the train is going faster than about half the speed of light.

-- It isn't.
