Answer:

a) v_{f} \approx 0.328\,\frac{m}{s}, b) v_{f} \approx 6.009\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Let consider that bottom has a height of zero. The motion of Tarzan can be modelled after the Principle of Energy Conservation:

U_{g,1} + K_{1} = U_{g,2} + K_{2}

The final speed is:

K_{2} = U_{g,1} - U_{g,2} + K_{1}

\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{f}^{2} = m\cdot g \cdot L\cdot (\cos \theta_{2}-\cos \theta_{1}) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{o}^{2}

v_{f}^{2} = 2 \cdot g \cdot L \cdot (\cos \theta_{2} - \cos \theta_{1}) + v_{o}^{2}

v_{f} = \sqrt{v_{o}^{2}+2\cdot g \cdot L \cdot (\cos \theta_{2}-\cos \theta_{1})}

a) The final speed is:

v_{f} = \sqrt{(0\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}+2\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (35\,m)\cdot (\cos 0^{\textdegree}-\cos 44^{\textdegree})}

v_{f} \approx 0.328\,\frac{m}{s}

b) The final speed is:

v_{f} = \sqrt{(6\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}+2\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (35\,m)\cdot (\cos 0^{\textdegree}-\cos 44^{\textdegree})}

v_{f} \approx 6.009\,\frac{m}{s}

Answer:

(A) Vf = 13.8 m/s

(B)  Vf = 15.1 m/s      

Explanation:

length of rope (L) = 35 m

angle to the vertical = 44 degrees

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

(A) from conservation of energy

final kinetic energy + final potential energy = initial kinetic energy + initial potential energy

0.5m(Vf)^{2} + mg(Hf) =  0.5m(Vi)^{2} + mg(Hi)

where

m = mass

Hi = initial height = 35 cos 44 = 25.17

Hf = final height = length of vine = 35 m

Vi = initial velocity = 0 since he starts from rest

Vf = final velocity

the equation now becomes

0.5m(Vf)^{2} + mg(Hf) = mg(Hi)

0.5m(Vf)^{2} = mg (Hi - Hf)

0.5(Vf)^{2} = g (Hi - Hf)

0.5(Vf)^{2} = 9.8 x (25.17 - 35)

0.5(Vf)^{2} = - 96.3  (the negative sign tells us the direction of motion is downwards)

Vf = 13.8 m/s

(B) when the initial velocity is 6 m/s the equation remains

      0.5m(Vf)^{2} + mg(Hf) =  0.5m(Vi)^{2} + mg(Hi)

       m(0.5(Vf)^{2} + g(Hf)) =  m(0.5(Vi)^{2} + g(Hi))

      0.5(Vf)^{2} + g(Hf) = 0.5(Vi)^{2} + g(Hi)

      0.5(Vf)^{2} = 0.5(Vi)^{2} + g(Hi) - g(Hf)

       0.5(Vf)^{2} = 0.5(6)^{2} + (9.8 x (25.17 - 35))

        0.5(Vf)^{2} =  -114.3  ( just as above, the negative sign tells us the direction of motion is downwards)      

       Vf = 15.1 m/s

A fuel pump sends gasoline from a car's fuel tank to the engine at a rate of 5.64 10-2 kg/s. the density of the gasoline is 735
Irina18 [472]
Given:
Gasoline pumping rate, R = 5.64 x 10⁻² kg/s
Density of gasoline, D = 735 kg/m³
Radius of fuel line, r = 3.43 x 10⁻³ m

Calculate the cross sectional area of the fuel line.
A = πr² = π(3.43 x 10⁻³ m)² = 3.6961 x 10⁻⁵ m²

Let v =  speed of pumping the gasoline, m/s
Then the mass flow rate is 
M = AvD = (3.6961 x 10⁻⁵ m²)*(v m/s)*(735 kg/m³) = 0.027166v kg/s

The gasoline pumping rate is given as 5.64 x 10⁻² kg/s, therefore
0.027166v = 0.0564
v = 2.076 m/s

Answer:  2.076 m/s
The gasoline moves through the fuel line at 2.076 m/s.

How much work is done on a 75 newton bowling ball when you carry it horizontally across a 10 meter room
svlad2 [7]

F = force applied to hold the weight of the bowling ball = weight of the bowling ball = 75 N

d = distance through which the bowling ball is moved horizontally = 10 meter

θ = angle between the force in vertically upward direction  and displacement in horizontal direction = 90

W = work done on the bowling ball

work done on the bowling ball is given as

W = F d Cosθ

inserting the values

W = (75) (10) Cos90

W =  (75) (10) (0)

W = 0 J

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Hey

Yes, this is true.

As some people have it wrong, waves in the water (ocean) are not waves of moving water, rather the wave is moving through the water. A wave is a disturbance of a medium not the meduim moving.
