Determine how far into the block does the arrow penetrate

Reference no: EM13666314

An arrow is fired with a speed of 20.0 m/s at a block of Styrofoam resting on a smooth surface. The arrow penetrates a certain distance into the block before coming to rest relative to it. Through this process the arrow's deceleration has a magnitude of 1300 m/s2 and the block's acceleration has a magnitude of 450 m/s2

(a) Determine how long does it take for the arrow to stop moving with respect to the block?

(b) Determine the common speed of the arrow and block when this happens?
