3. A 92 kg Tarzan is holding on to a level 22m vine. He swings on the vine. What will his speed at the bottom of the swing be?

To solve this problem, we must always remember that energy is conserved. In this case, since he is falling down, he has highest potential energy at the top and zero at bottom. While his kinetic energy is zero at the top since he started from rest and highest at the bottom. We can also say that Potential Energy lost is Kinetic Energy gained thus,

- ΔPE = ΔKE                         ---> one is negative since PE is losing energy

- m g (h2 – h1) = 0.5 m (v2^2 – v1^2)

Where,

m = mass of tarzan (cancel that out)

g = gravitational acceleration

h2 = height at the bottom= 0

h1 = height at top = 22 m

v2 = velocity at the bottom

v1 = velocity at top = 0 (started from rest)

Therefore substituting all values:

- 9.8 (- 22) = 0.5 (v2^2)

v2 = 20.77 m / s                 (ANSWER)

What is the idea behind the law of multiple proportions?
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The law of multiple proportions states that when two elements can combine in different ratios to form different compounds, the masses of the element combining with the fixed mass of another element result in whole number ratios. This shows that the law of multiple proportions is followed

Light of wavelength 400 nm is incident on a single slit of width 15 microns. If a screen is placed 2.5 m from the slit. How far
olganol [36]

Answer:

0.0667 m

Explanation:

λ = wavelength of light = 400 nm = 400 x 10⁻⁹ m

D = screen distance = 2.5 m

d = slit width = 15 x 10⁻⁶ m

n = order = 1

θ = angle = ?

Using the equation

d Sinθ = n λ

(15 x 10⁻⁶) Sinθ = (1) (400 x 10⁻⁹)

Sinθ = 26.67 x 10⁻³

y = position of first minimum

Using the equation for small angles

tanθ = Sinθ = y/D

26.67 x 10⁻³ = y/2.5

y = 0.0667 m

Some machines do not multiply the force that is applied to them
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Machine Efficiency

Explanation:

Efficiency is the percent of work put into a machine by the user (input work) that becomes work done by the machine (output work). The output work is always less than the input work because some of the input work is used to overcome friction. Therefore, efficiency is always less than 100 percent
