An athlete with mass m running at speed v grabs a light rope that hangs from a ceiling of height h and swings to a maximum heigh

t of 1 h . in another room with a lower ceiling of height 2 h , a second athlete with mass 2m running at the same speed v grabs a light rope hanging from the ceiling and swings to a maximum height of 2 h . how does the maximum height reached by the two athletes compare, and why?

The image shows the original problem. Let me know if this is this is the answer to the problem that you wanted:

Remember that the mechanical energy E_m=E_k+E_p of the system, (where E_k, E_p are the kinetic energy and the potential energy respectively) must remain the same. In an initial situation, the athletes have purely kinetic energy. Then they hang on to the rope and reach a maximum height, at which point they have zero speed and thus zero kinetic energy. The athletes now have purely potential energy, remember again that the mechanical energy must be the same than it was initially, this implies that:
E_k=E_p\implies\frac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh_1\implies h_1=\frac{V^2}{2g}
For the first athlete, and
E_k=E_p\implies\frac{1}{2}(2m)v^2=mgh_2\implies h_2=\frac{V^2}{g}
for the second athlete.
We can see clearly that the second athlete rose higher than the first athlete.

Colt1911 [192]

This question is incomplete, the complete question;

The L-ft ladder has a uniform weight of W lb and rests against the smooth wall at B. θ = 60. If the coefficient of static friction at A is μ = 0.4.

Determine the magnitude of force at point A and determine if the ladder will slip. given the following; L = 10 FT, W = 76 lb

Answer:

- the magnitude of force at point A is 79.1033 lb

- since FA < FA_max; Ladder WILL NOT slip

Explanation:

Given that;

∑'MA = 0

⇒ NB [Lsin∅] - W[L/2.cos∅] = 0

NB = W / 2tan∅ -------let this be equation 1

∑Fx = 0

⇒ FA - NB = 0

FA = NB

therefore from equation 1

FA = NB = W / 2tan∅

we substitute in our values

FA = NB = 76 / 2tan(60°) = 21.9393 lb

Now ∑Fy = 0

NA - W = 0

NA = W = 76 lb

Net force at A will be

FA' = √( NA² + FA²)

= √( (W)² + (W / 2tan∅)²)

we substitute in our values

FA' = √( (76)² + (21.9393)²)

= √( 5776 + 481.3328)

= √ 6257.3328

FA' = 79.1033 lb

Therefore the magnitude of force at point A is 79.1033 lb

Now maximum possible frictional force at A

FA_max = μ × NA

so, FA_max = 0.4 × 76

FA_max = 30.4 lb

So by comparing, we can easily see that the actual friction force required for keeping the the ladder stationary i.e (FA) is less than the maximum possible friction available at point A.

Therefore since FA < FA_max; Ladder WILL NOT slip

Answer: The students will determine the two fixed points of the thermometer:

Lower fixed point = 0 degree Celsius

Upper fixed point = 100 degree Celsius

Then divide the thermometer with equal intervals

The room temperature will be the point at which the themometric substance remains constant when rising from ice point.

Explanation:

Apparatus available:

Unmarked thermometer

250 cm3 glass beaker

crushed ice 

water

heatproof mat 

clamp, boss and stand

meter rule

Added apparatus

Bunsen burner

Stirrer

Method

The students will determine the two fixed points of the thermometer:

Lower fixed point = 0 degree Celsius

Upper fixed point = 100 degree Celsius

Then divide the thermometer with equal intervals

Procedures

Set up the apparatus of illustrated in the attached figure.

Immerse the unmarked thermometer into the ice in the beaker.

When the level indicated by the thermometric substance remains steady after some time, a mark will be made at that point. This mark will corresponds to the ice point (lower fixed point) and is assigned the value of 0 °C.

You may add little water and continue to stir gently.

The themometric substance will start to rise and stop when it reaches room temperature. Mark the point but do not assign any value

Place the beaker on bunsen burner and boil the water. The themometric substance will continue to rise and remain constant at upper fixed point

This mark will corresponds to the steam point (upper fixed point) and is assigned the value of 100 °C.

Divide between the lower fixed point and upper fixed point into equal intervals. Then you can see the value of room temperature.
