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)

An elevator is moving is an upwards
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The elevator's free-body diagram has three forces, the force of gravity, a downward normal force from you, and an upward force from the tension in the cable holding the elevator. The combined system of you + elevator has two forces, a combined force of gravity and the tension in the cable.

How much heat is released when 432 g of water cools down from 71'c to 18'c?
maria [59]
The heat released by the water when it cools down by a temperature difference \Delta T is
Q=mC_s \Delta T
where
m=432 g is the mass of the water
C_s = 4.18 J/g^{\circ}C is the specific heat capacity of water
\Delta T =71^{\circ}C-18^{\circ}C=53^{\circ} is the decrease of temperature of the water

Plugging the numbers into the equation, we find
Q=(432 g)(4.18 J/g^{\circ}C)(53^{\circ}C)=9.57 \cdot 10^4 J
and this is the amount of heat released by the water.

Your cousin Jannik skis down a blue square ski slope, with an initial speed of 3.6 m/s. He travels 15 m down the mountain side b
fenix001 [56]

Answer: The loss of energy due to friction is equal to 1,253 J.

Explanation:

The problem tells us that the skier has an initial speed of 3.6 m/s, which means that his initial kinetic energy is as follows:

K₁ = 1/2 m v₁² = 1/2 . 58.0 Kg. (3.6)² (m/s)² =  376 J

After coming to a  flat landing, his final speed is 7.8 m/s, so the final kinetic energy is as follows:

K₂ = 1/2 m v₂² = 1/2. 58.0 Kg. (7.8)² (m/s)² = 1,764 J

Now, when skying down the slope the increase in kinetic energy only can come from another type of energy, in this case, gravitational potential energy.

If we take the ground flat level as a Zero reference, the initial gravitational potential energy, can be written as follows, by definition:

U₁ = m.g. h (1)

Now, we don't know the value of the height h, but we know that the incline has a 18º angle above the horizontal, and that the distance travelled along the incline is 15 m.

By definition, the sinus of an angle, is equal to the proportion between the height and the hypotenuse , so we can write the following equation:

sin 18º = h / 15 m ⇒ h = 15 m. sin 18º = 4.6 m

Replacing in (1), we get:

U₁ = 58.0 Kg. 9.8 m/s². 4.6 m = 2,641 J

So, we can get the total initial mechanical energy, as follows:

E₁ = K₁ + U₁ = 376 J + 2,641 J = 3,017 J

After arriving to the flat zone, all potential energy has become in kinetic energy, even though not completely, due to the effect of friction.

This remaining kinetic energy can be written as follows:

E₂ = K₂ = 1,764 J

The difference E₂-E₁, is the loss of energy due to friction forces acting during the travel along the 15 m path, and is as follows:

ΔE= E₂ - E₁ = 1,764 J - 3,017 J = -1,253 J

A rock is thrown upward with a velocity of 22 meters per second from the top of a 25 meter high cliff, and it misses the cliff o
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The rock will reach 9 m from the ground at eaxactly 5.06 s after it was initially thrown upwards.

Explanation:

We will use the equations of motion for this.

u = initial velocity of the rock = 22 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s²

y = vertical position of the rock at a time t = 9 m

y₀ = initial height of the rock = 25 m

t = time it takes for the rock to reach height of 9 m.

(y-y₀) = ut + 0.5gt²

(9 - 25) = 22t + 0.5(-9.8)t²

- 14 = 22t - 4.9t²

4.9t² - 22t - 14 = 0

solving this quadratic equation,

t = 5.055 s or - 0.565 s

Since time cannot be negative,

t = 5.055 s = 5.06 s

Hope this Helps!!!
