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:
the ball's velocity was approximately 0.66 m/s
Explanation:
Recall that we can study the motion of the baseball rolling off the table in vertical component and horizontal component separately.
Since the velocity at which the ball was rolling is entirely in the horizontal direction, it doesn't affect the vertical motion that can therefore be studied as a free fall, where only the constant acceleration of gravity is affecting the vertical movement.
Then, considering that the ball, as it falls covers a vertical distance of 0.7 meters to the ground, we can set the equation of motion for this, and estimate the time the ball was in the air:
0.7 = (1/2) g t^2
solve for t:
t^2 = 1.4 / g
t = 0.3779 sec
which we can round to about 0.38 seconds
No we use this time in the horizontal motion, which is only determined by the ball's initial velocity (vi) as it takes off:
horizontal distance covered = vi * t
0.25 = vi * (0.38)
solve for vi:
vi = 0.25/0.38 m/s
vi = 0.65798 m/s
Then the ball's velocity was approximately 0.66 m/s
Answer:
1.97 * 10^8 m/s
Explanation:
Given that:
n = 1.52
Recall : speed of light (c) = 3 * 10^8 m/s
Speed (v) of light in glass:
v = speed of light / n
v = (3 * 10^8) / 1.52
v = 1.9736 * 10^8
Hence, speed of light in glass :
v = 1.97 * 10^8 m/s
