arzan, who weighs 700 N, swings from a cliff at the end of a convenient vine thatis 20 m long. From the top of the cliff to the

bottom of the swing, he descendsby 2.5 m. Unfortunately, at the bottom of his swing, the vine breaksand he fallsanother 5 m vertically. How far in the horizontal direction,d, does Tarzan travelfrom the point at which the vine breaks

Answer:

= 7.07 m

Explanation:

The Tarzan reaches bottom of swing after descending 2.5 m,

change in his potential energy equals his kinetic energy at bottom of swing

m g h = (1/2) m v²   ,  

hence speed v of Tarzan at bottom of swing is given as  

v = ( 2 g h )1/2

= ( 2 × 9.8 × 2.5 )1/2

= 7 m/s

At the bottom of swing, if the vine breaks, then he is moving with horizontal velocity 7 m/s in gravitational field.  

If vertical distance from ground to bottom of swing is 5 m, then time t for Tarzan to reach ground is given by

S = (1/2)g t2 or   t = (2S/g)1/2

= ( 2 × 5 / 9.8 )1/2

= 1.01 s

Horizontal distance traveled by Tarzan = 1.01 × 7

= 7.07 m

A 0.59 kg bullfrog is sitting at rest on a level log. how large is the normal force of the log on the bullfrog?
ladessa [460]
<span>The bullfrog is sitting at rest on the log. The force of gravity pulls down on the bullfrog. We can find the weight of the bullfrog due to the force of gravity. weight = mg = (0.59 kg) x (9.80 m/s^2) weight = 5.782 N The bullfrog is pressing down on the log with a force of 5.782 newtons. Newton's third law tells us that the log must be pushing up on the bullfrog with a force of the same magnitude. Therefore, the normal force of the log on the bullfrog is 5.782 N</span>

You throw a glob of putty straight up toward the ceiling, which is 3.50 mm above the point where the putty leaves your hand. The
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer: 4.65\ m/s

Explanation:

Given

Distance putty has to travel is 3.5 m

The initial speed of putty is 9.50 m/s

Using equation of motion to determine the velocity of putty just before it hits ceiling

v^2-u^2=2as

\Rightarrow v^2-(9.5)^2=2(-9.8)(3.5)\\\\\Rightarrow v^2=9.5^2-68.6\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{90.25-68.6}\\\Rightarrow v=4.65\ m/s

So, the velocity of putty just before hitting is 4.65\ m/s

Which equation represents the law of conservation of energy in a closed system?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

KE + PE = KE + PE

Explanation:

In a closed system, the mechanical energy of the system is constant.

Mechanical energy is given by the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy; mathematically:

U = KE + PE

where

KE is the kinetic energy

PE is the potential energy

This means that if we consider two situations, one at the beginning and one at the end, the value of U will not change if the system is closed; this means that the sum KE + PE will remain the same, so we can write:

KE + PE = KE + PE
