A 25 kg child plays on a swing having support ropes that are 2.20 m long. A friend pulls her back until the ropes are 42◦ from t

he vertical and releases her from rest.
(a) What is the potential energy for the child just as she is released, compared to the potential energy at the bottom of the swing?

(b) How fast will she be moving at the bottom of the swing?

(c) How much work does the tension in the ropes do as the child swings from the initial position to the bottom of the swing? Hint: Think about the angle between the Tension force and the direction of motion.

Answer:

A) P.E = 138.44 J

B) The velocity of swing at bottom, v = 3.33 m/s

C) The work done, W = -138.44 J

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the child, m = 25 Kg

The length of the swing rope, L = 2.2 m

The angle of the swing to the vertical position, ∅ = 42°

A) The potential energy at the initial position ∅ = 42° is given by the relation

P.E = mgh joule

Considering h = 0 for the vertical position

The h at ∅ = 42° is h = L (1 - cos∅)

P.E = mgL (1 - cos∅)

Substituting the given values in the above equation

P.E = 25 x 9.8 x 2.2 (1 - cos42°)

= 138.44 J

The potential energy for the child just as she is released, compared to the potential energy at the bottom of the swing is, P.E = 138.44 J

B) The velocity of the swing at the bottom.

At bottom of the swing the P.E is completely transformed into the K.E

∴ K.E = P.E

1/2 mv² = 138.44

1/2 x 25 x v² 138.44

v² = 11.0752

v = 3.33 m/s

The velocity of the swing at the bottom is, v = 3.33 m/s

C) The work done by the tension in the rope from initial position to the bottom

Tension on string, T = Force acting on the swing, F

$W=L\int\limits^0_\phi{F} \, d \phi$

$=L\int\limits^0_\phi{mg.sin \phi} \, d \phi$

= $-Lmg[cos\phi]_{42}^{0}$

= - 2.2 x 25 x 9.8 [cos0 - cos 42°]

= - 138.44 J

The negative sign in the in energy is that the work done is towards the gravitational force of attraction.

The work done by the tension in the ropes as the child swings from the initial position to the bottom of the swing, W = - 138.44 J

You wish to cool a 1.83 kg block of tin initially at 88.0°C to a temperature of 57.0°C by placing it in a container of kerosene

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

0.273 liters are needed to accomplish this task without boiling.

Explanation:

The minimum boiling point of kerosene is $150\,^{\circ}C$ . According to this question, we need to determine the minimum volume of liquid such that heat received is entirely sensible, that is, with no phase change.

If we consider a steady state process and that energy interactions with surrounding are negligible, then we get the following formula by the Principle of Energy Conservation:

$\rho_{k}\cdot V_{k}\cdot c_{k}\cdot (T-T_{k,o}) = m_{t}\cdot c_{t}\cdot (T_{t,o}-T)$ (1)

Where:

$\rho_{k}$ - Density of kerosene, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$V_{k}$ - Volume of kerosene, measured in cubic meters.

$c_{k}$ , $c_{t}$ - Specific heats of the kerosene and tin, measured in joule per kilogram-Celsius.

$T_{k,o}$ , $T_{t,o}$ - Initial temperatures of kerosene and tin, measured in degrees Celsius.

$T$ - Final temperatures of the kerosene-tin system, measured in degrees Celsius.

Please notice that the block of tin is cooled at the expense of the temperature of the kerosene until thermal equilibrium is reached.

From (1), we clear the volume of kerosene:

$V_{k} = \frac{m_{t}\cdot c_{t}\cdot (T_{t,o}-T)}{\rho_{k}\cdot c_{k}\cdot (T-T_{k,o})}$

If we know that $m_{t} = 1.83\,kg$ , $c_{t} = 218\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}$ , $T_{t,o} = 88\,^{\circ}C$ , $T_{k,o} = 24.0\,^{\circ}C$ , $T = 57\,^{\circ}C$ , $c_{k} = 2010\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}$ and $\rho_{k} = 820\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , then the volume of the liquid needed to accomplish this task without boiling is:

$V_{k} = \frac{(1.83\,kg)\cdot \left(218\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (88\,^{\circ}C-57\,^{\circ}C)}{\left(820\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(2010\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (57\,^{\circ}C-24\,^{\circ}C)}$

$V_{k} = 2.273\times 10^{-4}\,m^{3}$

$V_{k} = 0.273\,L$

0.273 liters are needed to accomplish this task without boiling.

Skater 1 has a mass of 105.0 kg and a velocity of 2.0 m/s to the left. He

mart [117]

The final velocity of skater 1 is 3.7 m/s to the right. The right option is O A. 3.7 m/s to the right.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

Velocity can be defined as the ratio of the displacement and time of a body.

To calculate the final velocity of Skater 1 we use the formula below.

Formula:

mu+MU = mv+MV............ Equation 1

Where:

m = mass of the first skater
M = mass of the second skater
u = initial velocity of the first skater
U = initial velocity of the second skater
v = final velocity of the first skater
V = final velocity of the second skater.

make v the subject of the equation.

v = (mu+MU-MV)/m................ Equation 2

Note: Let left direction represent negative and right direction represent positive.

From the question,

Given:

m = 105 kg
u = -2 m/s
M = 71 kg
U = 5 m/s
V = -3.4 m/s.

Substitute these values into equation 2

v = [(105×(-2))+(71×5)-(71×(-3.4))]/105
v = (-210+355+241.4)/105
v = 386.4/105
v = 3.68 m/s
v ≈ 3.7 m/s

Hence, the final velocity of skater 1 is 3.7 m/s to the right. The right option is O A. 3.7 m/s to the right.

You and your friends find a rope that hangs down 19m from a high tree branch right at the edge of a river. You find that you can

tangare [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

length of rope $L=19\ m$

velocity while running $v=2\ m/s$

when the person jumps off the bank and hang on the rope then we can treat the person as pendulum with Time period T which is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{19}{9.8}}$

$T=2\pi \times 1.392$

$T=8.74\ m/s$

Greatest Possible distance will be covered when person reaches the other extreme end of assumed pendulum (velocity=zero)

therefore he must hang on for 0.5 T time

$time=0.5\times 8.74=4.37\ s$

Ike is at the beach watching the waves in the ocean. Ike notices that some of the waves are short. Other waves are very tall and come up high above the water. Two waves that are different heights because They have different amplitudes.

Answer: Option (D) is correct

Explanation:

The different heights of the waves are due to their different amplitudes. The Amplitude of a particular wave depends upon the amount of energy being carried by waves. It the waves carry more energy than their amplitude will be higher.

But if energy carried by a wave is less than the wave will have a low amplitude. The Amplitude shows the distance covered from the rest position to peak position.
