You and your friends find a rope that hangs down 19m from a high tree branch right at the edge of a river. You find that you can

run, grab the rope, swing out over the river, and drop into the water. You run at 2.0 m/s and grab the rope, launching yourself out over the river.How long must you hang on if you want to drop into the water at the greatest possible distance from the edge?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

length of rope L=19\ m

velocity while running v=2\ m/s

when the person jumps off the bank and hang on the rope then we can treat the person as pendulum with Time period T which is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{19}{9.8}}

T=2\pi \times 1.392

T=8.74\ m/s

Greatest Possible distance will be covered when person reaches the other extreme end  of assumed pendulum (velocity=zero)

therefore he must hang on for 0.5 T time

time=0.5\times 8.74=4.37\ s

Lostsunrise [7]
The force exerted by a magnetic field on a wire carrying current is:
F=ILB \sin \theta
where I is the current, L the length of the wire, B the magnetic field intensity, and \theta the angle between the wire and the direction of B.

In our problem, the force is F=0.20 N. The current is I=1.40 A, while the length of the wire is L=35.0 cm=0.35 m. The angle between the wire and the magnetic field is 53 ^{\circ}, so we can re-arrange the formula and substitute the numbers to find B:
B= \frac{F}{IL \sin \theta}= \frac{0.20 N}{(1.40 A)(0.35 m)(\sin 53^{\circ})}=0.51 T

Ksenya-84 [330]

-- The area under a velocity/time graph, between two points in time, is the difference in displacement during that period of time.

-- The area under a speed/time graph, between two points in time, is the distance covered during that period of time.
