An arrow of mass 20 g is shot horizontally into a bale of hay, striking the hay with a velocity of 60 m/s. It penetrates a depth

of 40 cm before stopping. What is the average stopping force acting on the arrow

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

What influences the strength of an electric field?
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Explanation:

The charge alters that space, causing any other charged object that enters the space to be affected by this field. The strength of the electric field is dependent upon how charged the object creating the field is and upon the distance of separation from the charged object.

A 50kg chandelier hangs from a ceiling suspended by a cable.
babunello [35]

Answer:

The tension force has a magnitude of 490 N, and acts vertically upward

Explanation:

The complete question is:

A 50kg chandelier hangs from a ceiling suspended by a cable. What is the Tension (magnitude and direction of the force) in the cable?

ANS:

Tension is the force applied axially by rope, chain, cable, rod, etc, as a reaction force. The direction of tension is always towards the support. Since, the support here, is ceiling.

Therefore, the direction of tension force will be <u>vertically upward</u><u>.</u>

Since the chandelier is hanging stationary, without any motion. Thus, there must not be any unbalanced force applied on it.

Hence, the tension force must be equal to the weight of chandelier.

Tension Force = Weight of Chandelier

T = W = mg

T = (50 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>T =   490 N</u>

<u>Thus, the tension force has a magnitude of 490 N, and acts vertically upward</u>
