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 car travels 20 km South, then turns and travels 30 km East? What is the total displacement?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Explanation:36.05 km

Given

First car travels r_1=20\ km South

then turns and travels r_2=30\ km east

Suppose south as negative y axis and east as positive x axis

So, r_1=-20\hat{j}

r_2=30\hat{i}

Displacement is the shortest between initial and final point

Dispalcement=r=r_1+r_2

Displacement=-20\hat{j}+30\hat{i}

Displacement=30\hat{i}-20\hat{j}

Magnitude =\sqrt{30^2+(-20)^2}

Magnitude=36.05\ km

True or False: Amplitude can increase or decrease wavelength
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

A. False, frequency can increase or decrease wavelength.

For example: a high frequency would mean there are shorter wavelengths that occur in a period. Meanwhile, a low frequency would indicate that the wavelengths are longer and in longer periods.

How is the magnetic force on a particle moving in a magnetic field different from gravitational and electric forces.
harina [27]

Answer:

The magnetic force on a free moving charge depends on the velocity of the charge and the magnetic field, direction of the force is given by the right hand rule. While gravitational depends on the mass and distance of the moving particle and electric forces depends on the magnitude of the charge and distance of separation.

Explanation:

The magnetic force on a free moving charge depends on the velocity of the charge and the magnetic field and direction of the force is given by the right hand rule. While gravitational depends on the mass and distance of the moving particle and electric forces depends on the magnitude of the charge and distance of separation.

The magnetic force is given by the charge times the vector product of velocity and magnetic field. While gravitational force is given by the square of the particle mass divided by the square its distance of separation. Also electric forces is given by the square of the charge magnitude divided by the square its distance separation.
