    Calculating k in Hooke's Law: Understanding Archery and Projectile Motion

    Right I realize that, that's what I don't know how to find.

    Calculating k in Hooke's Law: Understanding Archery and Projectile Motion

    I see that there's potential energy before the arrow is shot. That's where the .2 m come in. But I still don't know how to solve it. A little more help please?

    Calculating k in Hooke's Law: Understanding Archery and Projectile Motion

    Ok, so if I find the initial velocity and the final velocity as if I were doing projectile problem then I can find W=1/2mvf^2 - 1/2mvi^2 then I could set W equal to 1/2kd^2 final - 1/2kd^2 initial and find k. Is that correct?

    Calculating k in Hooke's Law: Understanding Archery and Projectile Motion

    oh yes, sorry W=1/2kd^2 final - 1/2kd^2 initial It would have to be 0 initially and I'm thinking 45 degrees?

    Calculating k in Hooke's Law: Understanding Archery and Projectile Motion

    In preparing to shoot an arrow, an archer pulls a bowstring back 20 cm=.2 m. The arrow can reach a horizontal distance of 300 m and the arrow weighs 200 g. Find k. m=.2 kg W=1/2kd final- 1/2kd initial Fs=-kx Not really sure where to begin, and I've been trying for a while now. :confused:

    Help Midterm tomorrow Pulley, Newton's Laws Problem

    1. Homework Statement An object consists of 3 connected masses as seen in the figure. None of the surfaces have friction except the surface on m1 which has the coefficients μs=0.4 y μk=0.3. What is the acceleration of each one of the masses? It looks like the following image but m1 is the...

    Newton's 3rd Law, pulley, only given friction coefficients

    Homework Statement An object consists of 3 connected masses as seen in the figure. None of the surfaces have friction except the surface on m1 which has the coefficients μs=0.4 y μk=0.3. What is the acceleration of each one of the masses? It looks like the following image but m1 is the table...
