Question:

A child with a weight of 230 N swings on a playground swing attached to 1.90 m long chains. What is the gravitational potential energy (in J) of the child-earth system relative to the child's lowest position at the following times?

(a)when the ropes are horizontal

(b) when the ropes make a 25.0° angle with the vertical  

(c) when the child is at the bottom of the circular arc

Given Information:  

Weight = W = 230 N

Length of rope = L = 1.90 m

Required Information:  

a) Gravitational potential energy when the ropes are horizontal  = ?

(b) Gravitational potential energy when the ropes make a 25.0° angle with the vertical   = ?

(c) Gravitational potential energy when the child is at the bottom of the circular arc

Answer:

a)   GPE = 437 J

(b)  GPE = 41.07 J

(c)   GPE = 0 J

Explanation:

As we know, gravitational potential energy is given by

GPE = mgh

Where mg = W and h = L(1 - cosθ)

a) Gravitational potential energy when the ropes are horizontal  = ?

In this case, the ropes are perpendicular with respect to vertical therefore, the angle θ is 90°

GPE = 230*1.90(1 - cos(90°))

GPE = 230*1.90(1 - 0)

GPE = 437 J

(b) Gravitational potential energy when the ropes make a 25.0° angle with the vertical   = ?

In this case, the ropes are at 25° with respect to vertical therefore, the angle θ is 25°

GPE = 230*1.90(1 - cos(25°))

GPE = 437(1 - 0.906)

GPE = 41.07 J

(c) Gravitational potential energy when the child is at the bottom of the circular arc

In this case, the ropes are aligned with respect to vertical therefore, the angle θ is 0°

GPE = 230*1.90(1 - cos(0°))

GPE = 437(1 - 1)

GPE = 437(0)

GPE = 0 J

Answer:

437 J

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Weight of child, W = 230 N

Height of swing, h = 1.9 m

Gravitational Potential Energy is given as:

P. E. = m*g*h = W*h

m = mass

h = height above the ground

W = weight

P. E. = 230 * 1.9

P. E. = 437 J

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

 13.4 x 10 raise to power -19  C

Explanation:

. The distance moved by a charge in the direction of a uniform electric field is d= 1.8 cm =0.018 m

. The uniform electric field is  E = 214 N/M

, The decrease in electrical potential energy is   d(P.E) = 51.63 x 10 raise to power -19 J

Let the magnitude of the charge of the moving particle be q

which is given by the equation

d(P.E) =qEd

51.63 x 10 power -19 = q(214)(0.018)

51.63 x 10 power -19 =3.852q

by making q the formular,

q = 13.4 x 10 power -19 C

a projectile is lunched with an initial speed of 60.0mm/s at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal.The projectile lands on a hi
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

52 mm/s (approximately)

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the projectile is, u=60.0\ mm/s

Angle of projection is, \theta=30.0\°

Time taken to land on the hill is, t=4\ s

In a projectile motion, there is acceleration only in the vertical direction which is equal to acceleration due to gravity acting vertically downward. There is no acceleration in the horizontal direction.

So, the velocity in the horizontal direction always remains the same.

The horizontal component of initial velocity is given as:

u_x=u\cos\theta\\u_x=60\times \cos(30)\\u_x=30\sqrt3\approx52\ mm/s

Now, the velocity in the vertical direction goes on decreasing and becomes 0 at the highest point of the trajectory. So, at the highest point, only horizontal component acts.

Therefore, the projectile's velocity at the highest point of its trajectory is equal to the horizontal component of initial velocity and thus is equal to 52 mm/s.

At a circus, a human cannonball is shot from a cannon at 15m/s at an angle of 40° above horizontal. She
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

a

The height is   H  = 6.74 \  m

b

The horizontal distance is  D  = 23.74 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The speed is  v  =  15 \  m/s

  The angle is  \theta  =  40^o

   The height of the cannon from the ground is  h  =  2 m

  The distance of the net from the ground is k  =  1 m

 

Generally the maximum height she reaches is mathematically represented as  

     H  =  \frac{v^2 sin^2 \theta }{2 *  g }  +  h

=>    H  =  \frac{(15)^2 [sin (40)]^2 }{2 * 9.8}  +  2

=>    H  = 6.74 \  m

Generally from kinematic equation  

    s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2

Here s is the displacement which is mathematically represented as

         s  =  [-(h-k)]  

    =>  s =  -(2-1)

    =>  s  = -1 m

There reason why s =  -1 m is because upward motion canceled the downward motion remaining only the distance of the net from the ground which was covered during the first half but not covered during the second half

     a =  -g = -9.8

    u  =  v sin (\theta)

So

    -1 = (vsin 40 )t + \frac{1}{2} * (-9.8) t^2

=>  -4.9t^2 + 9.6418t + 1 = 0

using  quadratic formula to solve the equation we have

    t  =  2.07 \  s

Generally distance covered along the horizontal is  

   D  =  v cos (40) *  2.07

=>   D  =  15 cos (40) *  2.07

=>   D  = 23.74 \  m
