An archer aims his arrow directly at an orange hanging on an orange tree. At the moment he releases the arrow, the orange drops off the tree. Would the arrow hit the orange? You need to show your work to justify your argument.

Yes it would

Explanation:

As the arrow and the orange are in the same position initially, vertically speaking. They are also subjected to the same gravitational acceleration g only in the vertical direction. They also start their motion at the same time. So their equation of motion can be written as

Where h is the initial height of both of them. Since their g, h, and t are the same, their vertical position must be the same at the same time. As the arrows progress horizontally, it would hit the orange.

Yes. In this problem the two bodies are always in projectile motion: the arrow and the orange. The arrow and the orange have different initial positions and velocities, but they go into projectile motion at the same time. In order to show that the arroow always hit the orange, we have to prove that the arrow and orange have the same position along the x and y axis. See attachment.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
