From the question, The kinetic energy of the fired arrow is equal to the work done by the bale of hale in stopping the arrow.

We make use of the following formula

mv²/2 = F'd................... Equation 1

Where

  • m = mass of the arrow
  • v = velocity of the arrow
  • F' = average stopping force acting on the arrow
  • d = distance of penetration

Make F' the subject of the equation

F' = mv²/2d.................. Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • m = 20 g = 0.02 kg
  • v = 60 m/s
  • d = 40 cm = 0.4 m

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • F' = 0.02(60²)/(0.4×2)
  • F' = 72/0.8
  • F' = 90 N

Hence, The average stopping force acting on the arrow is 90 N

Two objects are dropped from rest from the same height. Object A falls through a distance Da and during a time t, and object B f
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Da=(1/4)Db

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

When s = Da, t = t

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow Da=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times t^2\\\Rightarrow Da=\frac{1}{2}at^2

When s = Db, t = 2t

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow Da=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times (2t)^2\\\Rightarrow Db=\frac{1}{2}a4t^2

Dividing the two equations

\frac{Da}{Db}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}at^2}{\frac{1}{2}a4t^2}=\frac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow \frac{Da}{Db}=\frac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow Da=\frac{1}{4}Db

Hence, Da=(1/4)Db

When you turn down the volume on the television, you reduce the _______ carried by the sound waves, so you also reduce their ___
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

when you turn down the volume on the television, you reduce the intensity carried by the sound waves, so you also reduce their amplitude.

Explanation:

When you turn down the volume of the television, you are actually reducing the intensity of the sound wave, which is directly proportional to the amplitude of the sound. Amplitude is height of the sound wave.

Therefore, when you turn down the volume on the television, you reduce the intensity carried by the sound waves, so you also reduce their amplitude.
