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.

The relationship between mass and inertia is described by newton's second law of motion. true or false
Mariana [72]
False. Inertia and mass is not described in Newton’s second law of motion but in Newton’s first law of motion. Newton’s first law of motion or sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. In Newton’s first law indicates that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

scientific endeavor should only be pursued after known tradeoffs associated with the research have been considered. True or Fals
AfilCa [17]
This is false. There were many times in history when people discovered something that they didn't even know was possible or didn't even plan to discover it. Knowing tradeoffs doesn't mean that something won't surprise you or that all will go according to plan.
