A 38.0 kg child is in a swing that is attached to ropes 1.70 m long. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . Find the gravit

ational potential energy associated with the child relative to the child’s lowest position under the following conditions:

Answer:

at zero point : GPE = 0 J

at max height : GPE = 633.7 J

Explanation:

the gravitational potential energy at the lowest point is zero

maximum height relative to the lowest point = h =1.70 m

G potential energy at max height = mgh = (38kg)(9.81m/s^2)(1.7)

= 633.7 J

Is glass weigh more than wood

inn [45]

It depends how large the object is. But, if it is 2 by 4, most likely the wood sieges more than the glass. Hope this helps.

Water flows straight down from an open faucet. The cross-sectional area of the faucet is 2.4 × 10-4m2 and the speed of the water

Ksenya-84 [330]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the continuity equations in the fluid and the kinematic equation for the description of the displacement, velocity and acceleration.

By definition the movement of the Fluid under the terms of Speed, acceleration and displacement is,

$v_2^2 = v_1^2 + 2gh$

Where,

$V_i =$ Velocity in each state

g= Gravity

h = Height

Our values are given as,

$A_1 = 2.4*10^{-4} m^2$

$v_1 = 0.8 m/s$

$h = 0.11m$

Replacing at the kinetic equation to find $V_2$ we have,

$v_2 = \sqrt{v_1^2 + 2gh}$

$v_2 = \sqrt{(0.8 m/s)^2 + 2(9.80 m/s2)(0.11 m)}$

$v_2= 1.67 m/s$

Applying the concepts of continuity,

$A_1v_1 = A_2v_2$

We need to find A_2 then,

$A_2= \frac{A_1v_1 }{v_2}$

So the cross sectional area of the water stream at a point 0.11 m below the faucet is

$A_2= \frac{A_1v_1 }{v_2}$

$A_2= \frac{(2.4*10^{-4})(0.8)}{(1.67)}$

$A_2= 1.14*10^{-4} m2$

Therefore the cross-sectional area of the water stream at a point 0.11 m below the faucet is $1.14*10^{-4} m2$

Michael Jordan, el célebre basquetbolista, ganó el torneo de clavadas de la NBA en 1988. Para lograr la hazaña saltó 1.35 metros

kozerog [31]

(a) 0.40 s

First of all, let's find the initial speed at which Jordan jumps from the ground.

The maximum height is h = 1.35 m. We can use the following equation:

$v^2-u^2=2gh$

where

v = 0 is the velocity at the maximum height

u is the initial velocity

$g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for u,

$u=\sqrt{-2gh}=\sqrt{-2(-9.8)(1.35)}=5.14 m/s$

The time needed to reach the maximum height can now be found by using the equation

$v=u+gt$

Solving for t,

$t=\frac{v-u}{g}=\frac{0-5.14}{-9.8}=0.52s$

Now we can find the velocity at which Jordan reaches a point 20 cm below the maximum height, so at a height of

h' = 1.35 - 0.20 = 1.15 m

Using again the equation

$v'^2-u^2=2gh'$

we find

$v'=\sqrt{u^2+2gh}=\sqrt{5.14^2+2(-9.8)(1.15)}=1.97 m/s$

And the corresponding time is

$t'=\frac{v'-u}{g}=\frac{1.97-5.14}{-9.8}=0.32s$

So the time to go from h' to h is

$\Delta t = t-t'=0.52-0.32=0.20 s$

And since we have also to take into account the fall down (after Jordan reached the maximum height), which is symmetrical, we have to multiply this time by 2 to get the total time of permanence in the highest 20 cm of motion:

$\Delta t=2\cdot 0.20 = 0.40 s$

(b) 0.08 s

This part is easier since we need to calculate only the velocity at a height of h' = 0.20 m:

$v'^2-u^2=2gh'$

$v'=\sqrt{u^2+2gh}=\sqrt{5.14^2+2(-9.8)(0.20)}=4.74 m/s$

And the corresponding time is

$t'=\frac{v'-u}{g}=\frac{4.74-5.14}{-9.8}=0.04s$

So this is the time needed to go from h=0 to h=20 cm; again, we have to take into account the motion downwards, so we have to multiply this by 2:

$\Delta t = 2\cdot 0.04 =0.08 s$

Trevor places a mass on a spring. When he releases it, the mass and spring move in simple harmonic motion.

777dan777 [17]

The correct answer is D He could pull the mass down farther.

Amplitude, is the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. So to increase the amplitude the spring should be pulled down further which can increase the amplitude.
