In a Broadway performance, an 83.0-kg actor swings from a R = 3.90-m-long cable that is horizontal when he starts. At the bottom

of his arc, he picks up his 55.0-kg costar in an inelastic collision. What maximum height do they reach after their upward swing?

Answer:

h = 2.821\,m

Explanation:

The speed of the actor before the collision is found by means of the Principle of Energy Conservation:

(83\,kg)\cdot(9.807\,\frac{m}{s})\cdot (3.90\,m) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (83\,kg)\cdot v^{2}

v = \sqrt{2\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (3.90\,m)}

v \approx 8.746\,\frac{m}{s}

The speed after the inelastic collision is obtained by using the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

(83\,kg)\cdot (8.746\,\frac{m}{s} )+(55\,kg)\cdot (0\,\frac{m}{s} ) = (83\,kg + 55\,kg)\cdot v

v = 5.260\,\frac{m}{s}

Lastly, the maximum height is determined by using the Principle of Energy Conservation again:

\frac{1}{2}\cdot (138\,kg)\cdot (5.260\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2} = (138\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot h

h = \frac{(5.260\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}}{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }

h = 2.821\,m

Two cars, initially at rest and 5 km apart at t=0 , simultaneously move toward each other. Car A travels at a constant speed of
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

<em>d. 268 s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Speed Motion</u>

An object is said to travel at constant speed if the ratio of the distance traveled by the time taken is constant.

Expressed in a simple equation, we have:

\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}

Where  

v = Speed of the object

d = Distance traveled

t  = Time taken to travel d.

From the equation above, we can solve for d:

d = v . t

And we can also solve it for t:

\displaystyle t=\frac{d}{v}

Two cars are initially separated by 5 km are approaching each other at relative speeds of 55 km/h and 12 km/h respectively. The total speed at which they are approaching is 55+12 = 67 km/h.

The time it will take for them to meet is:

\displaystyle t=\frac{5}{67}

t = 0.0746 hours

Converting to seconds: 0.0746*3600 = 268.56

The closest answer is d. 268 s
