The kinetic energy of the arrow is dependent on its weight and the speed at which it is launched.

if you use one bow to fire two different sized arrows, they will both have the SAME kinetic energy. a heavy arrow will shoot slower but hit harder while the light arrow will fly faster but wont impact as hard.

What are the differences and similarities between matter and energy?

Friction and cohesiveness are the only differences. The matter has stronger potential energy with stronger cohesive forces and the energy has stronger kinetic energy with demonstration as frictional force.


How do you make light mineral oil from heavy?

You "crack" it.


Is volcanic rock heavy?

Not necessarily. It canbe as heavy as ordinary rock, or much ligher. The lightest rock on earth, pumice, is a volcanic rock. It is light enough to float in water.


Light from a star travels from earth in a straight line at a constant speed of 300000 kilometers per second What is the acceleration of the light?

The speed of light is a constant, so the acceleration is zero. However, light IS affected by gravity, and gravity causes an acceleration. How does this balance? The light moves at the same speed - the speed of light, abbreviated "c" - but loses or gains energy as the light moves toward or away from the gravity source. In gaining energy (without speeding up!) the frequency of the light is increased and the wavelength of the light (or any electromagnetic energy) is decreased, In losing energy, the wavelength is increased and the wavelength decreased. This could be a trick question, of course. Light from a star wouldn't be travelling from earth, unless we are talking about reflected light, which would not be particularly intense, but it is not out of the question.

Does a heavy arrow or a light arrow have more kinetic energy when shot from a compound bow?

A heavy arrow will have more kinetic energy when shot from a compound bow compared to a light arrow. Kinetic energy is determined by both the mass and velocity of an object. Although a heavy arrow may have a lower initial velocity, its greater mass compensates and results in higher kinetic energy than a lighter arrow.


Which has the greater kinetic energy a light car or a heavy truck?

Kinetic energy depends on mass and velocity (or speed): KE = (1/2)mv2. At the same speed, obviously the heavier (and more massive) object will have more kinetic energy.


How do you get kinetic energy in a toy race track?

Make the place a little steep to go down. If its a light car or paper car then the object can't receive kinetic energy. If its a heavy car then your chances of getting kinetic energy would be 89.68%.


Is light energy an kinetic energy?

Light energy is radiant energy.


What type of energy is light kinetic or potential?

Kinetic


Is light energy pontential or kinetic?

Neither potential nor kinetic. It is itself a energy


What is the mechanical energy of an object?

Mechanical energy is heat light and kinetic energy but instead of saying something has heat light and kinetic energy we just say mechanical! :)


Is light kinetic or potential?

good answer but its none of them light energy is radiant energy


Is light potential energy?

almost everything has chemical, potential, and kinetic energy (the exeption being forms of energy itself). light is debated to have chemical, but it does have potential and kinetic energy. kinetic energy is motion and heat caused by brishing past things. light has that quality.


Why is radiant energy kinetic energy?

Light is made up of particles (called photons). They have both kinetic energy and momentum.


Energy exists in two states what are they?

Energy exists in many more than two states, but two are light energy and heat energy.
