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.

The latitude of any location on earth is the angle formed by the two rays drawn from the center of earth to the location and to
Alina [70]

The distance between city a and city b is 833.345 miles.

We know that

1°=60'

The distance of city a from the initial ray is  calculated as

x_a=3960*tan45.46°=4024.101 miles

The distance of city b from the initial ray is calculated as

x_b=3960*tan 38.86°=3190.75 miles

Now the distance between city a and b is equal to

4024.101-3190.75=833.345 miles

This is the vertical distance between the cities.

What is water potential???​
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Water potential is the potential energy of water per unit volume relative to pure water in reference conditions. Water potential quantifies the tendency of water to move from one area to another due to osmosis, gravity, mechanical pressure and matrix effects such as capillary action.

A 4.79 g bullet moving at 642.3 m/s penetrates a tree trunk to a depth of 4.35 cm. Use work and energy considerations to find th
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Force, F=2.27\times 10^4\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the bullet, m = 4.79 g = 0.00479 kg

Initial speed of the bullet, u = 642.3 m/s

Distance, d = 4.35 cm = 0.0435 m

To find,

The magnitude of force required to stop the bullet.

Solution,

The work energy theorem states that the work done is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. Its expression is given by :

F.d=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)

Finally, it stops, v = 0

F.d=-\dfrac{1}{2}m(u^2)

F=\dfrac{-mu^2}{2d}

F=\dfrac{-0.00479\times (642.3)^2}{2\times 0.0435}

F = -22713.92 N

F=2.27\times 10^4\ N

So, the magnitude of the force that stops the bullet is 2.27\times 10^4\ N

Two trains A and B of length 400 m each are moving on two parallel tracks with
Vinvika [58]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The initial distance between the trains is 1450 m. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the question two trains are of equal length 400 m and moves at a uniform speed of 72 km/h. train A is moving ahead of train B. If the train B has to overtake train A it should accelerate.

Train B’s acceleration  is 1m/s^2   and it accelerated for 50 seconds.

<em>a=1 m/s^2</em>

<em>t=50 s </em>

<em>initial speed u=72km/h </em>

<em>we have to convert this speed into m/s  </em>

<em>u=72 \times 5/18=20 m/s</em>

<em>Distance covered in accelerating phase  S=ut+1/2  at^2  </em>

<em>=20 \times 50+1/2 \times 1 \times 50^2</em>

<em>=1000+1250=2250 m </em>

If  a train is just behind another, the distance covered by the train located behind during overtaking phase will be equal to the sum of the lengths of the trains.

<em>Here length of train A+length of train B=400+400=800 m</em>

<em>Hence the initial distance between the trains = 2250-800=1450 m</em>
