Chapter 5: Q 5. (page 127)

An arrow has just been shot from a bow and is now traveling

horizontally. Air resistance is not negligible. Identify the forces on

the arrow.

Short Answer

Expert verified

two forces are there Drag and weight

Step by step solution

01

Step 1.Given information

Here given that when arrow shot from the bow and it is traveling horizontally. during that Air resistance is not negligible then Identify the how many forces are acting on the arrow.

02

Step 2

here given that the air resistance is not negligible so all the forces on the arrow are all non contact forces.

Once the arrow is shot with constant velocity, the force acting on it is the downward force of gravity and second one is drag force because here air resistance not negligible. then arrow will continue to fly horizontally at the constant velocity until it hits the ground.

Most popular questions from this chapter

In lab, you propel a cart with four known forces while using an

ultrasonic motion detector to measure the cart’s acceleration. Your data are as follows:

a. How should you graph these data so as to determine the mass of the cart from the slope of the line? That is, what values

should you graph on the horizontal axis and what on the

vertical axis?

b. Is there another data point that would be reasonable to add,

even though you made no measurements? If so, what is it?

c. What is your best determination of the cart’s mass?

Figure shows the acceleration of objects of different mass that experience the same force. What is the magnitude of the force?

A baseball player is sliding into second base. Identify the forces

on the baseball player.

Exercise 19 show two of the three forces acting on an object in equilibrium. Redraw the diagram, showing all three forces. Label the third force F3→.

Problems 35 through 40 show a free-body diagram. For each:

a. Identify the direction of the acceleration vector au and show it as a vector next to your diagram. Or, if appropriate, write

b. If possible, identify the direction of the velocity vector and show it as a labeled vector.

c. Write a short description of a real object for which this is the

correct free-body diagram. Use Examples 5.4, 5.5, and 5.6 as

models of what a description should be like.
