Tarzan tries to cross a river by swinging from one bank to the other on a vine that is 10.0 m long. His speed at the bottom of t

he swing is 8.0 m/s. Tarzan does not know that the vine has a breaking strength of 1.0 x 103 N. What is the largest mass that Tarzan can have and still make it safely across the river?

Answer:

61.73 kg

Explanation:

Maximum Tension, t = 1000 N

Let the mass of Tarzan is m.

Length of the rope, l = 10 m

velocity, v = 8 m/s

At the lowest point

T - mg = mv²/l

1000 - m x g = m x 64/10

1000 = m ( 9.8 + 6.4 )

m = 1000 / 16.2

m = 61.73 kg

Thus, the largest mass of Tarzan should be 61.73 kg.

Answer:61.72 kg

Explanation:

Given

Length of rope L=10 m

Speed at bottom of swing v=8 m/s

Breaking strength of string T=1000 N

At bottom Point

weight is acting downward and Tension is opposing it

Thus T-mg=\frac{mv^2}{L}

T=mg+\frac{mv^2}{L}

1000=m(9.8+\frac{8^2}{10})

1000=m\cdot 16.2

m=61.72 kg

maximum mass Tarzan can have is 61.72 kg

joja [24]

Answer: Boyle found that when the pressure of a gas at a constant temperature is increased, the volume of the gas decreases. When the pressure of a gas is decreased, the volume increases. This relationship between pressure and volume it's called Boyle's law.

Explanation: In the 1600s, Boyle measured the volumes of gases at different pressures. Boyle found that when the pressure of a gas at a constant temperature is increased, the volume of the gas decreases. When the pressure of a gas is decreased, the volume increases. This relationship between pressure and volume it's called Boyle's law.

Determine the right answer to fill in the blank spaces
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

A pure substance is something that is entirely made up of particles that are identical to each other.

Any substance that is not pure, must be a mixture.

We are surrounded by mixtures. The air is a mixture of gases . The oceans are a mixture of (mainly) water and salt. The solid earth is mostly rock, which is a mixture of different minerals.

Natural resources are substances we need and use, which occur naturally. Some come from living things, (example) cotton other are non-living (example)  sand.

The opposite of a natural resource is a made resource.

A small fan has blades that have a radius of 0.0600 m. When the fan is turned on, the tips of the blades have a tangential accel
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

α = 395 rad/s²

Explanation:

Main features of uniformly accelerated circular motion

A body performs a uniformly accelerated circular motion   when its trajectory is a circle and its angular acceleration is constant  (α = cte). In it the velocity vector is tangent at each point to the trajectory and, in addition, its magnitude varies uniformly.

There is tangential acceleration (at) and is constant.

at = α*R     Formula (1)

where

α  is the angular acceleration

R is the radius of the circular path

There is normal or centripetal acceleration that determines the change in direction of the velocity vector.

Data

R = 0.0600 m   :blade radius

at = 23.7 m/s² : tangential acceleration of the blades

Angular acceleration of the blades (α)

We replace data in the formula (1)

at = α*R  

23.7 = α*(0.06)

α = (23.7) / (0.06)

α = 395 rad/s²

A 0.58 kg mass is moving horizontally with a speed of 6.0 m/s when it strikes a vertical wall. The mass rebounds with a speed of
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

5.8\; {\rm kg\cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}.

Explanation:

If the mass of an object is m and the velocity of that object is v, the linear momentum of that object would be m\, v.

Assume that the initial velocity of the mass is positive (6.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}.) However, the direction of the velocity is reversed after the impact. Thus, the sign of the new velocity of the object would be negative- the opposite of that of the initial velocity. The new velocity would be (-4.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}).

Thus, the change in the velocity of the mass would be:

\begin{aligned}& (\text{Change in Velocity}) \\ =\; & (\text{Final Velocity}) - (\text{Initial Velocity}) \\ =\; & (-4.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) - (6.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \\ =\; & (-10\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1})\end{aligned}.

The change in the linear momentum of the mass would be:

\begin{aligned} & \text{change in momentum} \\ =\; & (\text{mass}) \times (\text{change in velocity}) \\ =\; & 0.58\; {\rm kg} \times (-10\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \\  =\; & (-5.8\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}})\end{aligned}.

Thus, the magnitude of the change of the linear momentum would be 5.8\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}.

If you have a mass of 50 kg on <br> Earth, what is your weight in Newtons?
Bond [772]
Weight on any planet is (mass) x (acceleration of gravity there).

Acceleration of gravity on Earth is about 9.8 meters per second² .
So weight of 50 kg on Earth is  (50 x 9.8) = <u>490 newtons</u>.

(That's about  110.2 pounds.)
