While Jane is running has a kinetic energy, which is Ek = 1/2*m*v^2 where m is mass and v is velocity  When she grabs a vine, she is going to change the kinetic energy to potential energy.  
We know that potential energy is given by Ep = m*g*h where m is mass, g is gravity constant and h is height  
So while running the kinetic energy is Ek = 1/2 * m * 5.2^2 = 13.52*m 
Then all that energy is used to swing upward and gain potential energy 
Ep = m*g*h = Ek = 13.52*m  
m*9.8*h = 13.52*m 
h = 13.52/9.8 = 1.38 meters  
So Jane will swing 1.38 meters upward

Write a speech about bringing back fidget toys because they're banned in school
12345 [234]
I believe that fidget toys should not be brought back in school, reason being is because fidget spinners were originally made for students with example: Autism . Who actually needed them. Now that people who don't need them are buying them and playing with them in the classroom, it causes a complete distraction and is not being used for its original purpose whatsoever .

A trait of an organism that helps it survive in its environment is calles
kompoz [17]
Answer is adaptation. An organism develops a trait over time to help survive in its environment called an adaptation. You could take a giraffe for example. A long time ago giraffes actually had short necks, but now since their food is higher they soon developed a longer neck and this is what we now see in the present. This goes for any artic animal. Polar bears and seals have a white fur adaptation to help them blend in with their environment. A chameleon changes colors in order to hide from predators and sneak up on prey. These are all adaptations

Increase the slit width to 1050 nm. What happens to the width of the central bright fringe? (Always remember to wait a few secon
djyliett [7]

Answer:

b.

Explanation:

In case of Single Slit, diffraction will occur.

Then In Single slit Diffraction, width of central fringe is

x_c= 2D\lambda/a


where D= distance b/w screen and slit

a= slit width

\lambda = wavelength

Thus if Screen width increases keeping other factors same then width of central fringe becomes narrower as

x_c\propto 1/a

On increasing the slit width the central bright fringe width The width of the central bright fringe becomes narrower.
