Katniss pulls back a bow a distance of 0.51 m with a force of 215 N and lets it fly. What is the spring constant of the bow? ANSWER 1433.33

If kinetic energy is equal to Elastic Potential energy in the bow, what is the velocity of the arrow after it leaves the bow? (Assume the arrow has a mass of .033 kg) You have to use the spring constant k you calculated in the previous problem. ANSWER 210.48

If she fired it straight (not up or down at an angle) from a shoulder height of 1.4 m, how long would it stay in the air? ANSWER 0.53

Using the time the arrow was in the air and the horizontal velocity you computed above, how far did the arrow travel before striking the ground?

E) The time the arrow is in the air depends on its horizontal velocity? True or False.

F) Using the time the arrow was in the air and the horizontal velocity you computed above, how far did the arrow travel before striking the ground?

A projectile is launched upward with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 53 degrees above the horizontal. How far will the projectile travel horizontally before it reaches the same height it was launched from? How long will the projectile be in the air if it is launched from a height of 32 meters above flat ground? The answers are 60m and 5.2s. Can you please show how to get to that?

A horizontal spring with spring constant 150 N/m is compressed 17 cm and used to launch a 2.9 kg box across a frictionless, horizontal surface. After the box travels some distance, the surface becomes rough. The coefficient of kinetic friction of the box on the surface is 0.15. Use work and energy to find how far the box slides across the rough surface before stopping. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

A jet accelerates at a=3.92 m/s^2 from rest until it reaches its takeoff velocity of 360 km/hr. It has to travel for 5 seconds at its takeoff velocity before taking off. What's the minimum distance that the jet will travel on the runway? A car backs up at a constant speed for a short time, then applies the brakes and steadily comes to rest. Sketch velocity-time and position-time graphs that depict the car's motion. Assume that the forward direction is...
