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.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

c. natural force or pull toward the earth

Explanation:

Gravity of the earth is the force of attraction that it naturally possesses to attract any mass.

An apple falls on the earth due to this force of gravity.

The force of gravity near to the surface of the earth is given as:

F=m.g

where:

m= mass of the body

g= acceleration due to gravity

The variation of the gravitational force with height is given as:

F'=m.g'

where:

g'=g\times (1+\frac{h}{R} )^{-2}

where

R = radius of the earth \approx64000\ km

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST AND 30 POINTS!
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Gallium

Explanation:

Gallium is one such element used as a do/pant in a p-type semiconductor.

A do/pant is an impurity added to a semi-conductor used to alter its properties. Semi-conductors have a wide range of applications. They will conduct heat and electricity only under certain conditions. This property is highly desirable and find a wide application in electronics.

For p-type conductors, they are best do/ped with elements with 3 valence electrons. These are group 3 elements. From the choices, only gallium belongs to this group.

Other elements given are good do/pants for n-type semiconductors. They have 5 valence electrons.

A particle oscillates in simple harmonic motion, with amplitude A and period T. The particle starts from position x = A. What is
frozen [14]

Answer:

i guess it is D because,

y = A sin(wt)

w = \frac{2\pi }{T} and t = 3T/ 2

now, Y = A sin ( \frac{2\pi }{T} X \frac{3T}{2})

so, Y = 0radian
