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

Assuming no air resistance, how far will a 0.0010 kg raindrop have fallen when it hits the ground 30.0 s later. Assume g = 9.8 m
Serga [27]
D = (1/2)·at²
where d is the distance fallen, a is the acceleration (g in this problem), and t is the time
d = (1/2)·(9.8 m/s²)·(30 s)² = (1/2)·(9.8)·(900) m
d = 4410 m
The answer is b) 4410 m

Note: the mass of the raindrop is irrelevant since the acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass. (Galileo's Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment)

That information describes the plane's speed. 
If he had also told them what direction they were flying, then
they would have been able to put the two pieces of information
together, and they would know the plane's velocity.

A(n) 1.3 kg mass sliding on a frictionless surface has a velocity of 7.1 m/s east when it undergoes a one-dimensional elastic co
Oxana [17]

Answer: 2.12 kg

Explanation:

Since the 1.3 kg object moves to the west after the collision, the other object will move to the east after the collision.

In an elastic collision, the relative velocity after the collision is the opposite of the relative velocity before the collision. Since the 1.3 kg object’s velocity before the collision is 6.7 m/s greater than the other object, after the collision, its velocity will be 6.7 m/s less than the other object. To determine the other object’s velocity, use the following equation.

v = 1.7 – 7.1 = -5.4 m/s

The negative sign means it is moving eastward. Let’s use this number is a momentum equation to determine its mass.

Initial momentum = 1.3 * 7.1 = 9.23 east

For the 1.3 object, final momentum = 1.3 * 1.7 = 2.21 west

To determine the final momentum of the other object, add these two numbers.

Final momentum = 11.44 east

To determine its mass, use the following equation.

m * 5.4 = 11.44

m = 11.44 ÷ 5.4 = 2.12 kg

To make sure that kinetic energy is conserved, let’s round this number to 2 kg and determine the final kinetic energies.

For the 1.3 object, KE = 1/2 * 1/3* 1.7^2 = 0.48

For the 2 kg object, KE = 1/2* 2 * 5.4^2 = 29.64

Total final KE = 29.64

Initial KE = 0.5* 1.3 * 7.1^2 = 32.77

Since I rounded the mass up to 2kg, this proves that kinetic energy is conserved and the mass is correct!

An athlete kicks a soccer ball that starts at rest so that it leaves their foot with a speed of 10m/s from the top o f a rectang
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

a=500m/s^2

Explanation:

We need only to apply the definition of acceleration, which is:

a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t_f-t_i}

In our case the final velocity is v_f=10m/s, the initial velocity is v_i=0m/s since it departs from rest, the final time is t_f=0.02s and the initial time we are considering is t_i=0s

So for our values we have:

a=\frac{10m/s-0m/s}{0.02s-0s}=500m/s^2
