In a Broadway performance, an 84.5-kg actor swings from a R = 4.30-m-long cable that is horizontal when he starts. At the bottom

of his arc, he picks up his 55.0-kg costar in an inelastic collision. What maximum height do they reach after their upward swing?

Answer:

1.57772 m

Explanation:

M = Mass of actor = 84.5 kg

m = Mass of costar = 55 kg

v = Velocity of costar

V  = Velocity of actor

h_i = Intial height of actor = 4.3 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

As the energy of the system is conserved

\frac{1}{2}MV^2=Mgh_i\\\Rightarrow V=\sqrt{2gh_i}\\\Rightarrow V=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 4.3}\\\Rightarrow V=9.18509\ m/s

As the linear momentum is conserved

MV=(m+M)v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{MV}{m+M}\\\Rightarrow V=\frac{84.5\times 9.18509}{84.5+55}\\\Rightarrow v=5.56372\ m/s

Applying conservation of energy again

\frac{1}{2}(m+M)v^2=(m+M)gh_f\\\Rightarrow h_f=\frac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow h_f=\frac{5.56372^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h_f=1.57772\ m

The maximum height they reach is 1.57772 m

Anika [276]

Answer:

The correct option is;

B) No, the Navy vessel is slower

Explanation:

The speed of some torpedoes can be as high as 370 km/h. The average speed of a fast Navy vessel is approximately 110 km/h

Therefore, the torpedoes travel approximately 3 times as fast as the (slower) Navy vessel, such that the torpedo covers three times the distance of the Navy vessel in the same time and therefore, if the Navy vessel and the torpedo continue in a straight line (in the same direction) due north the vessel can not outrun the torpedo

Therefore, no the Navy vessel travels slower than a torpedo.

A 150 kg safe on frictionless casters is being raised at 1.20m to the bed of a truck using planks 4m long. The force needed to p
Vesnalui [34]
The only thing you need to know in order to solve this task is that <span>plank length (which is force x), should equal the increase in potential energy, so what we have now : (mass)* g * (height).
It has to look like that:  </span>
<span>F * 3.0 = 150 x 9.81 x 1.20 
Then solve for F, the result should be in newtones = 588N

Do hope it makes sense.</span>

Gnesinka [82]
Salutations!

If Jerome is swinging on a rope and transferring energy from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy,  _______________ is being done.

<span>If Jerome is swinging on a rope and transferring energy from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, work is being done. Energy being transferred and the object begins to move is called work.

Thus, your answer is option B.

Hope I helped (:

Have a great day!</span>
