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.

What are the parts of a wedge and their function?​
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

A wedge is a machine that consists of two inclined planes, giving it a thin end and thick end. A wedge is used to cut or split apart objects. Force is applied to the thick end of the wedge, and the wedge applies force to the object along both of its sloping sides. This force causes the object to split apart

Show that Ns is the same as kgmls.<br>​
Minchanka [31]

1 N = 1kgm/s²

then,

1Ns = 1kgm/s² * s

1Ns = 1kgm/s

Hence shown.

Applications of Gas Law in Real Life. A torch used to heat up the and rise the air temperature inside the balloon. This cause the air volume inside the balloon to increased and becoming less dense than the surrounding air. ... The air in the ears will change its volume then causes yours ears to pop due to the strain.
