Chapter 5, Problem 73GP
Predict/Calculate An archer shoots a 0.024-kg arrow at a target with a speed of 54 m/s. When it hits the target, it penetrates to a depth of 0.083 m. (a) What was the average force exerted by the target on the arrow? (b) If the mass of the arrow is doubled, and the force exerted by the target on the arrow remains the same, by what multiplicative factor does the penetration depth change? Explain.

An al- ligator waits for prey by floating with only the top of its head exposed, so that the prey cannot easily see it. One way it can adjust the extent of sinking is by controlling the size of its lungs. Another way may be by swallowing stones (gastrolithes) that then reside in the stomach. Figure 14-41 shows a highly simplified model (a “rhombohedron gater") of mass 130 kg that roams with its head partially exposed. The top head surface has area 0.20 m². If the alligator were to swallow stones with a total mass of 1.0% of its body mass (a typical amount), how far would it sink? Figure 14-41 Problem 40.arrow_forward
