A student may change his or her behavior to match that of other students in a class or in the school.
To solve this problem, we must always remember that energy
is conserved. In this case, since he is falling down, he has highest potential
energy at the top and zero at bottom. While his kinetic energy is zero at the top
since he started from rest and highest at the bottom. We can also say that Potential
Energy lost is Kinetic Energy gained thus,
- ΔPE = ΔKE --->
one is negative since PE is losing energy
- m g (h2 – h1) = 0.5 m (v2^2 – v1^2)
Where,
m = mass of tarzan (cancel that out)
g = gravitational acceleration
h2 = height at the bottom= 0
h1 = height at top = 22 m
v2 = velocity at the bottom
v1 = velocity at top = 0 (started from rest)
Therefore substituting all values:
- 9.8 (- 22) = 0.5 (v2^2)
v2 = 20.77 m / s (ANSWER)
-- heat the magnet red-hot in a flame
-- drop it on the floor several times, or beat it with a hammer
-- place it in a strong, rapidly alternating external magnetic field
This would be called the "Escape Velocity "
