Chapter 6: Q6-17Q (page 138)

Two identical arrows, one with twice the speed of the other, are fired into a bale of hay. Assuming the hay exerts a constant 鈥渇rictional鈥� force on the arrows, the faster arrow will penetrate how much farther than the slower arrow? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The faster arrow will cover four times the distance covered by the slower arrow.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding kinetic energy

In this problem, use the relation of the kinetic energy of the arrow with the speed and mass of the arrow.

When the speed of the arrow becomes twice, the kinetic energy will multiply by a factor of four.

02

Evaluation of the penetration of the faster arrow as compared to the slower arrow

The masses of both arrows are the same, but one of them is twice as fast as the other. Since the faster arrow鈥檚 kinetic energy is four times the kinetic energy of the slower arrow, so the work done on the faster arrow will also be four times.

Also, the work done is directly proportional to the distance. Hence, the faster arrow covers four times the distance covered by the slower arrow.

A bowling ball is dropped from a height h onto the center of a trampoline, which launches the ball back up into the air. How high will the ball rise?

  1. Significantly less than h.
  2. More than h. The exact amount depends on the mass of the ball and the springiness of the trampoline
  3. No more than h鈥攑robably a little less.
  4. Cannot tell without knowing the characteristics of the trampoline.
