An athlete with mass m running at speed v grabs a light rope that hangs from a ceiling of height H and swings to a maximum heigh

t of h1. In another room with a lower ceiling of height H/2, a second athlete with mass 2m running at the same speed v grabs a light rope hanging from the ceiling and swings to a maximum height of h2. How does the maximum height reached by the 2 athletes compare and why? (Pick one) a) The first athlete reaches a greater height, because the athlete swings on a longer rope; b) The second athlete reaches a greater height, because the athlete has a greater mass; c) The 2 athletes reach the same height, because the effect of the rope length offsets the effect of the athletes’ masses; d) The 2 athletes reach the same height, because the athletes run with the same speed.

Answer:

d) The 2 athletes reach the same height, because the athletes run with the same speed.

Explanation:

In the whole process , kinetic energy is converted into potential energy .

1/2 m v² = mgh

v² = 2gh

h = v² / 2g

In this expression we see that height attained does not depend upon mass of the object . At the same time it also makes it clear that it depends upon velocity . As the velocity in both the cases are same , height attained by both of them will be same. Hence option d ) is correct.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) ωp = 2π radians / 1.7 s = <u>3.7 rad/s</u>

b) ωs = 3.7 rad/s(9.5 cm / 4.5 cm) = 7.8 rad/s

  v = (ωs)R = 7.8(65) = 507 cm/s or <u>5.1 m/s</u>

c) ωs = 3.5 m/s / 0.65 m = 5.38 rad/s

ωp = 5.38(4.5 cm / 9.5 cm) = 2.55 rad/s

t = θ/ω = 2π / 2.55 = 2.463... <u>2.5 s</u>

Is a magnetic reversal a threat to life on Earth ? Whay do you say?
KATRIN_1 [288]
I would say yes, a magnetic reversal a threat to life on Earth. Base on articles, it is the end of the world if that happens. <span>Some people believe global cataclysm will occur when Earth's magnetic poles reverse. When north goes south, they say, the continents will lurch in one direction or the other, triggering massive earthquakes, rapid climate change and species extinctions.</span>
