Tarzan (75 kg) swings from 4 metres high on a vine down to ground level and catches Jane (50 kg). How fast are they moving after
1 answer:
Try this solution (if it is possible, check it in other sources):
1. for m_Tarzan=75kg., initial_height=4m., end_height=0 m. and g=10 N/kg. Energy is:
2. The same value of Energy is applied for m_Tarzan+Jane=75+50=125 kg.:
3. According to the formula of the Speed:
Speed=sqrt(6000/125)=sqrt(48)=4sqrt(3)≈4*1.71=6.84 (m/s)
Answer: 6.84 (m. per sec.)

The equations to find the acceleration are the suvat equations:
Explanation:
The acceleration of an object is the rate if change in velocity of the object. It is calculated as
where
v is the final velocity of the object
u is the initial velocity
t is the time elapsed
For an object moving in a straight line at constant acceleration, there are several equations that can be used to find the acceleration: they are called suvat equations. They are the following:
where
u is the initial velocity
v is the final velocity
t is the time
s is the distance covered
a is the acceleration
Therefore, any of the above equations can be used to calculate the acceleration.
