Answer: I hope this helps I read this in a book once

Explanation:

Shower meteors come from the dust released by comets as they travel through our solar system. The dust spreads out along the comet's orbit and forms an elliptical trail of debris that passes around the sun and crosses the orbits of the planets.

Tarzan (who has mass 80.0 kg) is running across the jungle floor with speed 7.00 m/s as

Lesechka [4]

We are given:

Mass of Tarzan before swinging = 80 kg

Mass of Tarzan when swinging = 80 + 15 = 95 kg

Velocity of Tarzan = 7 m/s

The height of the rock Tarzan's monkey is sitting on = 3 m

__________________________________________________________

Momentum of Tarzan before swinging:

We know that:

Momentum = Mass*Velocity

Momentum = 80 * 7

Momentum = 560 kg m/s

__________________________________________________________

Speed of Tarzan after grabbing the bananas:

The momentum of Tarzan will remain the same but his mass will increase

So, Since Momentum = New Mass* velocity

560 = 95 * v [where v is the velocity of Tarzan]

v = 5.9 m/s

__________________________________________________________

<h3>Finding the Initial and Final KE and PE:</h3>

Here, KE = Kinetic Energy and PE = Potential Energy

Initial and Final KE:

We know that KE = 1/2*(mv²)

Initial KE:

Initial KE = 1/2*(mv²) [where v is the velocity after picking the bananas]

Initial KE = 1/2*(95*5.9²)

Initial KE = 1653.5 Joules

Final KE:

Final KE = 1/2*(mv²)

[where v is the velocity at the maximum point of the swing]

Since Tarzan will be at rest at the maximum point of the swing, v = 0 m/s

Final KE = 1/2*(95*0²)

Final KE = 0 Joules

Initial and Final PE:

We know that:

PE = mgh

[where g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height]

Initial PE:

Since the height of Tarzan from the ground was 0 m at the beginning of the swing, h = 0

Initial PE = 95*10*0

Initial PE = 0 Joules

Final PE:

Let the maximum height of Tarzan be h m

Final PE = 95*10*h

Final PE = 950(h)

__________________________________________________________

<h3>Finding the maximum height Tarzan will reach:</h3>

Here, KE = Kinetic Energy and PE = Potential Energy

From the law of conservation of momentum, we know that:

Initial KE + Initial PE = Final KE + Final PE

Replacing the variables:

1653.5 + 0 = 0 + 950h

1653.5 = 950h

h = 1653.5/950 [dividing both sides by 950]

h = 1.74 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by Tarzan is 1.74 m

but since his monkey is sitting 3 m high, he will NOT be able to reach his monkey
