‘The arrow has a mass of 0.018kg and is intially at rest. The arrow leaves the bow 0.011 after the
bow string Is released. When it leaves the bow, the velocity of the arrow is 85m/s.
(a) Calculate
(i) the average acceleration of the arrow during the 0.011,
average acceleration 2)
(i) the average force exerted on the arrow during the 0.011 s.
average force = 2
(b) In practice, the force exerted on the arrow gradually decreases to zero during firing,
On Fig. 1.2, sketch a possible speed-time graph for the arrow as itis being fired.

(b) An aeroplane flies through the air in a straight line, with its engines at full power. The weight
of the aeroplane is 160KN. There is also a force of 320KN acting upwards on the aeroplane at
30° to the horizontal.
In the space below, use a graphical method to determine the size and the direction of the
resultant of these two forces. Use a scale of 1.00m: 40KN.
