An archer is able to fire an arrow mass of 20 gram at a speed of 250 m/s. If a baseball mass of 0.14 kg is given the same kinetic energy, what is its speed?
mass of the arrow :- ma = 0.02 kg speed of the arrow :- va = 250 m/smass of the baseball mb = 0.14 kgWe have to find the speed of the baseball if the baseball & arrow have the same kinetic energy.The kinetic energy is proportional to the mass of the object m and to the square of the speed of the object v:Ek = m * v2 / 2
