An archer shoots an arrow toward a 300-g target that is sliding in her direction at a speed of 2.40 m/s on a smooth, slippery surface. the 22.5-g arrow is shot with a speed of 38.5 m/s and passes through the target, which is stopped by the impact. what is the speed of the arrow after passing through the target?

    6.5 m/s

    An object's momentum is its speed (m/s) multiplied by its mass (kg).

    initial momentum of target = 0.3kg x 2.4m/s = 0.72

    initial momentum of arrow = 0.0225kg x 38.5m/s = 0.86625

    resulting momentum of arrow is 0.86625 - 0.72 = 0.14625

    momentum / mass = speed

    so 0.14625 / 0.0225 = 6.5 m/s
