Tarzan, in one tree, sights Jane in another tree

Taking the distance of Tarzan from the ground before and after he makes the swing:

Ho (initial height) = L(1 - cos45) = 20 (1 - 0.707) = 5.86 meters
Hf (final height) = L(1 - cos30) = 20 (1 - 0.866<span>) = 2.68 meters
</span>
Difference in height = 5.86 - 2.68 = 3.18 meters

PE = KE
mgh = (1/2)mv^2

Solving for v:
v = sqrt (2*g*h)
v = sqrt (2*9.8*3.18)
v = 7.89 m/s

With Tarzan going that fast, it is likely that he will knock Jane off.

Answer:

Tarzan's speed is 7.91m/s.

Tarzan will knock off Janefrom the tree.

Explanation:

Initial vertical height = L-LcosA = L(1-cos45)

Initial vertical height = 20× 0.29= 5.8m

Final vertical height = L(1-cos30°)= 20× 0.13

Final vertical height = 2.6m

Loss in vertical and = 5.8- 2.6=3.2m

Loss in Potential energy = Gain in kinetic energy

Mgh=1/2(mv^2)

V= sqrt( 2× 9.8 × 3.2)

V= 7.9m/s

What type of energy does gasoline have? How could you relate it to the movement of a vehicle that uses it?

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Chemical potential energy is the energy stored in the chemical bonds of a substance. The various chemicals that make up gasoline contain a large amount of chemical potential energy that is released when the gasoline is burned in a controlled way in the engine of the car.

Which is an example of electrical energy being converted or changed into light energy?

Lera25 [3.4K]

When I see the word "which" at the beginning of your question,
I just KNOW that there's a list of choices printed right there
next to he part that you copied, and for some mysterious
reason, you decided not to let us see the choices.

Any flashlight, light bulb, laser, or spark ... like lightning ...
converts some electrical energy into some light energy.

A copper rod of cross-sectional area 11.6 cm2 has one end immersed in boiling water and the other in an ice-water mixture, which

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

0.686 g of ice melts each second.

Solution:

As per the question:

Cross-sectional Area of the Copper Rod, A = $11.6\ cm^{2} = 11.6\times 10^{- 4}\ m^{2}$

Length of the rod, L = 19.6 cm = 0.196 m

Thermal conductivity of Copper, K = $390\ W/m.^{\circ}C$

Conduction of heat from the rod per second is given by:

$q = \frac{KA\Delta T}{L}$

where

$\Delta T = 100^{\circ} - 0^{\circ} = 100^{\circ}C$ = temperature difference between the two ends of the rod.

Thus

$q = \frac{390\times 11.6\times 10^{- 4}\times 100}{0.196} = 228.48\ J/s$

Now,

To calculate the mass, M of the ice melted per sec:

$M = \frac{q}{L_{w}}$

where

$L_{w}$ = Latent heat of fusion of water = 333 kJ/kg

$M = \frac{228.48}{333\times 10^{3}} = 6.86\times 10^{- 4}\ kg = 0.686\ g$

It has been observed that electrical connectors manufactured by Jolt Electrical Supply Company last an average of 18.2 months an

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Jolt can expect to replace 160 units.

Explanation:

given data:

standard deviation 1.7

average lfe of connectors = 18.2 months

number of connectors = 5000

$z(19) = \frac{(19-18.2)}{1.7}$

z(19) = 0.4706

P(x< 19) = P(z< 0.4706)

P(x< 19) = 0.6810 from z table

therefore 68.1% fails within 19 months.

hence 0.3190 {100-68.1} will fail during that period.

number of unit of Jolt that need to be replace, on average is 0.319*500 = 160 units.

Why mirrors show texts in reverse order?

bogdanovich [222]

Mirrors reflect meaning shows what would be seen if everything was turned around, therefore, it shows text backwards because if it is turned around, it is in reverse order.
