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

A race-car drives around a circular track of radius RRR. The race-car speeds around its first lap at linear speed v_iv i ​ v, st
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration increases by 16 times when the linear speed increases by 4 times.

Explanation:

The initial centripetal acceleration, a of the race-car around the circular track of radius , R with a linear speed v is a = v²/R.

When the linear speed of the race-car increases to v' = 4v, the centripetal acceleration a' becomes a' = v'²/R = (4v)²/R = 16v²/R.

So the centripetal acceleration, a' = 16v²/R.

To know how much the magnitude of the car's centripetal acceleration changes, we take the ratio a'/a = 16v²/R ÷ v²/R = 16

a'/a = 16

a' = 16a.

So the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration increases by 16 times when the linear speed increases by 4 times.

I am planning to make two dives. The first dive is to 60 feet for 45 minutes, and the second dive is to 60 feet for 35 minutes.
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

1:04-1:10 hours

Explanation:

You'll need a <em>Recreational dive planner</em> table, I annexed a copy, now you'll follow the next steps:

  1. In the first part of your table, you'll look for the distance row (in feet) of your first dive, for this specific exercise you'll find 60, once you locate it you'll go down that column until you reach the time you'll dive, in this case, 45 (minutes) or the closest value (47).
  2. You'll check and keep the letter in that 47 row (S) for future use.
  3. Now you have to go to the second part of your table and look for the distance column, in feet, of your second dive. We find 60 and then going right in the blue row, we'll look for the time (35) or its closest value (36).
  4. Finally, we have to check the letter for 36 minutes (F) and we'll make it met with the letter S in the first portion of your tables. This will give us an interval of time, 1:04-1:10 in this case.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Art [367]

Answer:

A, The water moving away

Explanation:

When the pebble hits the water the surface tension breaks causing the water to separate away and make a ripple in the water.

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

U = - G m M / r

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy is given by the expression

         U = - G m₁ m₂ / r

dodne G is the gravitational cosntnate (G = 6.67 10⁻¹¹¹), m and m are the mass of the bodies involved

subtype the given values

         U = - G m M / r
