4) An archer draws his compound bow and shoots an arrow. The 25 g arrow leaves the bow with a velocity of 95 m/s. The power stroke of the bow is 57 cm; that is, the bowstring exerts force on the arrow through a displacement of 57 cm. The peak draw weight of the bow is 312 N. (This is the maximum force that the archer has to exert on the bowstring.) a. How much kinetic energy does the arrow have after release? b. If shot straight up, how high will the arrow go?
Given: A shooting guard throws a basketball m = 1 kg straight up with an initial speed of v0 = 5.5 m/s. He releases the ball at shoulder height h0 = 1.95 m. Let gravitational potential energy be zero at ground level. Give the total mechanical energy of the ball E in terms of maximum height hm it reaches, the mass m, and the gravitational acceleration g. What is the height, hm in meters?
4. A 20.0 kg cannonball is fired from a cannon at a speed of 1000 m/s at an angle of 31.0° with the horizontal. A second bullet of the same mass is fired from the same barrel at an angle of 90.0º. Use conservation of mechanical energy to find a) the maximum height reached (For each bullet) b) the total mechanical energy at the maximum height. (For each bullet)
