A 50kgarcher, standing on frictionless ice, shoots a 100g arrow at a speed of 100m/s. What is the recoil speed of the archer?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The recoil of the archer is0.2m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

we have given,

Massofthearcher=50kgMassofthearrow=100gSpeedofthearrow=100m/s

we have to find the recoil speed of the archer.

02

Simplify

When two particles collide and stick together and move as one body then it will be inelastic collision where only momentum will be conserved.

Since initially the archer and the arrow is at rest then the initial momentum and final momentum will be zero.

It means that the magnitude of momentum of archer will be equal to the magnitude of the momentum of arrow and opposite in direction.

Then,

Two particles collide, one of which was initially moving and the other initially at rest.

a. Is it possible for both particles to be at rest after the collision? Give an example in which this happens, or explain why it can’t happen.

A two-stage rocket is traveling at 1200 m/s with respect to the earth when the first stage runs out of fuel. Explosive bolts release the first stage and push it backward with a speed of 35 m/s relative to the second stage. The first stage is three times as massive as the second stage. What is the speed of the second stage after the separation?

Fred (mass 60kg) is running with the football at a speed of 6.0m/swhen he is met head-on by Brutus (mass 120kg), who is moving at 4.0m/s. Brutus grabs Fred in a tight grip, and they fall to the ground. Which way do they slide, and how far? The coefficient of kinetic friction between football uniforms and Astroturf is 0.30.
