The strings in a compound bow behave approximately like a spring. A bowstring is pulled back 0.60 m with a maximum force of
267 N (AKA a 60-pound draw weight) to shoot an 18 g arrow.
Assume energy is conserved.
a) At what speed would the arrow be launched? (Note: W = FΔd uses the average
force while F = -kx uses the instantaneous force.)

On a frictionless air track, a blue glider with mass 0.200 kg is moving to the right with a speed of 8.00 m/s. it strikes a red glider that has mass 0.600 kg and that is initially at rest. after the collision, the blue glider is moving to the left with a speed of 3.00 m/s.(a) what are the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the red glider after the collision? (b) is this collision elastic?
