    The document describes an archer firing an arrow at a target during a competition. It provides the mass of the arrow, its initial velocity when leaving the bow, and the time it took to leave the bow after the bow string was released. It asks the reader to calculate the average acceleration and average force on the arrow during this time period, and to sketch a possible speed-time graph showing how the force on the arrow would decrease over time during firing.

    Section A

    Answer all the questions in this section. Answer in the spaces provided.

    1 Fig. 1.1 shows an archer firing an arrow at a target during a competition.

    Fig. 1.1

    The arrow has a mass of 0.018 kg and is initially at rest. The arrow leaves the bow 0.011 s after the
    bow string is released. When it leaves the bow, the velocity of the arrow is 95 m / s.

    (a) Calculate

    (i) the average acceleration of the arrow during the 0.011 s,

    average acceleration = ........................................................ [2]

    (ii) the average force exerted on the arrow during the 0.011 s.

    average force = ........................................................ [2]

    (b) In practice, the force exerted on the arrow gradually decreases to zero during firing.

    On Fig. 1.2, sketch a possible speed-time graph for the arrow as it is being fired.
