Acceleration occurs when velocities change.velocity changes either because the speed changes or the direction change.

No scientific testing has been made to check for ion transfer, and the claims are purely empirical. Also, nine out of ten people is hardly a representative sample, and the people can claim whatever they want since "feeling" is subjective. This is most likely a pseudoscientific claim, made to sound legitimate to consumers. The best answer is choice D.

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:

$\dfrac{1}{2}m_av^2 = (m_b+m_a)\Delta Hg$

where $m_a$ is the mass of the arrow, $m_b$ is the mass of the block, $\Delta H$ of the change in height of the block after the collision, and $v$ is the velocity of the arrow before it hit the block.
