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 two athletes compare, and why

Answer:

Same height, height does not depend on mass, but on initial speed and gravity constant.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is assumed that each athlete begin at a height of zero. The physical model of each athlete is derived of application of the Principle of Energy Conservation:

Athlete A:

\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2} =  m \cdot g \cdot h_{1}\\\frac{1}{2}\cdot v^{2} = g \cdot h_{1}\\h_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{g}

Athlete B:

\frac{1}{2}\cdot (2\cdot m) \cdot v^{2} =  (2\cdot m) \cdot g \cdot h_{2}\\\frac{1}{2}\cdot v^{2} = g \cdot h_{2}\\h_{2} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{g}

Both athletes reach the same height, as maximum height is a function independent of the mass, but dependent on initial speed and gravity constant.

What os the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line shown
Dmitriy789 [7]
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals.

so first you must find the slope of the line given
the slope formula is 

m=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

now you just plug in the coordinate points that you are given

m=(-2-2)/(0-(-3)
m=-4/3

so the slope of the line given is -4/3, the negative reciprocal of this would be 3/4

The slope of the perpendicular line would be 3/4
