By bring their legs close to their bodies, they are decreasing the length of the pendulum which help them move more quickly.

A pendulum is nothing but a body suspended from a fixed point so that it can swing back and forth under the influence of gravity.

Here in this case Gibbons are bringing their legs close to their bodies and reducing the length of the pendulum. Since as the length of the pendulum increases the speed of the movement will be reduced. By bringing their legs close to their bodies they are reducing the length and in turn their speed increase and they move quickly.

A boat takes off from a dock at 2.5 m/s and speeds up at 4.2 m/s squared for six seconds how far has the most traveled
GaryK [48]

The boat's position x relative to its starting point x_0=0 is determined by

x=x_0+v_0t+\dfrac12at^2

where v_0 is its initial velocity, a is its acceleration, and t is time. After t=6\,\mathrm s, the boat has traveled

x=\left(2.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(6\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12\left(4.2\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6\,\mathrm s)^2

\implies x=91\,\mathrm m

A 2-kg cart, traveling on a horizontal air track with a speed of 3m/s, collides with a stationary 4-kg cart. The carts stick tog
ladessa [460]

Answer:

The impulse exerted by one cart on the other has a magnitude of 4 N.s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first cart, m₁ = 2 kg

initial speed of the first car, u₁ = 3 m/s

mass of the second cart, m₂ = 4 kg

initial speed of the second cart, u₂ = 0

Let the final speed of both carts = v, since they stick together after collision.

Apply the principle of conservation of momentum to determine v

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

2 x 3 + 0 = v(2 + 4)

6 = 6v

v = 1 m/s

Impulse is given by;

I = ft = mΔv = m(

The impulse exerted by the first cart on the second cart is given;

I = 2 (3 -1 )

I = 4 N.s

The impulse exerted by the second cart on the first cart is given;

I = 4(0-1)

I = - 4 N.s (equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the impulse exerted by the first).

Therefore, the impulse exerted by one cart on the other has a magnitude of 4 N.s.
