Tarzan and Jane. Because of your concern that incorrect science is being taught to children when they watch cartoons on TV, you

have joined a committee which is reviewing a new cartoon version of Tarzan. In this episode, Tarzan is on the ground in front of a herd of stampeding elephants. Just in time Jane, who is up in a tall tree, sees him. She grabs a convenient vine and swings towards Tarzan, who has twice her mass, to save him. Luckily, the lowest point of her swing is just where Tarzan is standing. When she reaches him, he grabs her and the vine. They both continue to swing to safety over the elephants up to a height which looks to be about 1/2 that of Jane's original position. To decide if you going to approve this cartoon, calculate the maximum height Tarzan and Jane can swing as a fraction of her initial height.

Answer:

The maximum height Tarzan and Jane can swing as a fraction of her initial heigh is ⅓h

Explanation:

Let

m = Mass of Tarzan

M = Mass of Jane

Given

M = 2m

To calculate the maximum height Tarzan and Jane can swing, we make use of the potential energy at their initial and final position.

Reason being that;

At both the initial and final position, velocity is 0, so there's no kinetic energy.

And the potential energy remains the same (i.e constant) at any given point in the system.

Using P.E = mgh.

At initial position, PE1 = mgh

At final position, PE2 = (m + M)gH.

Where h and H represent the initial and final heights.

m + M is the new weight after Jane and Tarzan swing

Equating PE1 to PE2

mgh = (m + M)gH

By substituton (M = 2m)

mgh = (m + 2m)gH

mgh = 3mgH

Make H the subject of the formula

H = mgh/3mg

H = ⅓h

Hence, the maximum height Tarzan and Jane can swing as a fraction of her initial heigh is ⅓h

From the question, the new height looks to be about ½ that of Jane's original position; i.e. ½h

The calculated height is smaller than what the cartoon is showing;

We can conclude that the cartoon is wrong.

Explain how birds, bats, insects, airplanes, rockets, and hot air balloons achieve their flight.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The birds, bats, insects, airplanes, rockets, and hot air balloons achieve their flight by creating high pressure below the aircraft and low pressure above it

<h3>What are living and non-living things?</h3>

They both consist of fundamentally simple building blocks. They are composed of substances or mass. Atmospheric and molecular building blocks make up the world.

In order to create high pressure below the aircraft and low pressure above it, airplanes employ specially built wings.

The wing receives sufficient airflow past it to counteract the weight and drag of the aircraft by utilizing a device to provide thrust, such as a propeller.

High pressure underneath the aircraft and low pressure above it is produced by specially constructed wings used by airplanes.

The wing receives enough airflow through it by the use of a thrust-generating device, like a propeller, to overcome the weight and drag of the aircraft.

The differences between how living and non-living things fly;

1. Moving both living and non-living objects consumes energy. Flying animals utilize their wings to create both lift and propulsion by moving them in relation to the body.

In contrast to most air vehicles, where the components that generate lift, wings, and thrust engines or propellers are distinct, the wings stay stationary.

Animal aviators like birds as well as natural parachuters like patagial as well as human inventions like aircraft as well as rockets that can power spacecraft and spaceplanes are just a few examples of the many things that can fly.

Hence, birds, bats, insects, airplanes, rockets, and hot air balloons achieve their flight by creating high pressure below the aircraft and low pressure above it

What is the kinetic energy of a golf ball with a mass of 0.046 kg traveling at 15.5<br> m/s?
Serjik [45]

Answer:

<h2>5.53 J</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object can be found by using the formula

k =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}  \\

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question we have

k =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 0.046 \times {15.5}^{2}  \\  = 0.023 \times 240.25 \\  = 5.52575

We have the final answer as

<h3>5.53 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
