Jane, looking for Tarzan, is running at top speed (4.9 m/s) and grabs a vine hanging 4.1 m vertically from a tall tree in the ju

ngle. If air resistance is neglected, how high can she swing upward? Hint: use the conservation of energy. m Does the length of the vine affect your answer?

Answer:

1.22375 m

Explanation:

v = Velocity = 4.9 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Height

In this system the kinetic and potential energy is conserved when Tarzan at the top of the swing

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{4.9^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=1.22375\ m

The height of the swing is 1.22375 m

As it can be seen in the equation the length of the vine does not matter

which process was found after wegeners time, helped scientists find out how the continents actually move.
Genrish500 [490]
I don't quite know what you're asking so I'll just go on a rant :) Wegener created and supported the continental drift theory, which stated that all of the continents once formed a super continent called Pangea. No one at the time believed in the theory though so he spent the rest of his life trying to find evidence to prove it. However, after he died scientists began to find information that supported his theory. When scientists began to study Earth's surface and the layers below, the theory of the tectonic plates was formed. This theory stated that Earth's crust, the lithosphere, was divided into twelve moving plates. This theory did in fact prove that Wegener's theory was correct. Another theory that proved Wegener's theory to be true was the process of Sea Floor Spreading. This theory stated that at divergent plate boundaries, new ocean floor was being created and the old was being pushed away from the boundary, the old sea floor would then be pushed to deep sea trenches created by convergent plate boundaries and essentially recycled back into the Earth. I hope this helped, sorry it is so long :)
