4. A 26.0-g arrow leaves a bowstring at a velocity of 46 m/s.

a. What is the change in momentum of the arrow?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.196kgm/s

Explanation:

The change in momentum [tex]\delta\rho[/tex] of the arrow is given by;

[tex]\delta\rho=mv-mu...............(1)[/tex]

where m is the mass of the arrow, u is the initial velocity and v is the final velocity.

Given;

m = 26.0g = 0.026kg

u = 0 since the arrow was initially at rest before being released.

v = 46m/s.

Since the intial velocity is zero, equation (1) reduces to

[tex]\delta\rho=mv...............(2)[/tex]

Hence the change in momentum is calculated thus;

[tex]\delta\rho=0.026kg*46m/s\\\delta\rho=1.196kgm/s[/tex]
