A stuntman with a mass of 80.5 kg swings across a moat from a rope that is 11.5 m. At the bottom of the swing the stuntman's spe

ed is 8.45 m/s. The rope's breaking strength is 1,000 N. Will the stuntman make it across the moat without falling in? Yes No (b) What If? What is the maximum speed (in m/s) that the stuntman can have at the bottom of the swing on this vine to safely swing across the river? m/s

Answer:

  • No
  • 5.49 m/s

Explanation:

The net force required to accelerate the stuntman in a circular arc of radius 11.5 m will be ...

  F = mv²/r . . . . where this m is the mass being accelerated, v is the tangential velocity, and r is the radius.

Here, the net force needs to be ...

  F = (80.5 kg)(8.45 m/s)²/(11.5 m) . . . . . where this m is meters

  ≈ 499.8175 kg·m/s² = 499.8 N

Gravity exerts a force on the stuntman of ...

  F = mg = (80.5 kg)(9.8 m/s²) = 788.9 kg·m/s² = 788.9 N

Then the tension required in the rope/vine is ...

  499.8 N+788.9 N= 1288.7 N

This is more than the capacity of the rope, so we do not expect the stuntman to make it across the moat.

_____

The allowed net force for centripetal acceleration is ...

  1000 N -788.9 N = 211.1 N

Then the allowed velocity is ...

  211.1 = 80.5v²/11.5

  30.16 = v² . . . .  multiply by 11.5/80.5

  5.49 = v . . . . . . take the square root

The maximum speed the stuntman can have is 5.49 m/s.

_____

<em>Comment on crossing the moat</em>

The kinetic energy at the bottom of the swing translates to potential energy at the end of the swing. At the lower speed, the stuntman cannot rise as high, so will traverse a shorter arc. At 8.45 m/s, the moat could be about 16.8 m wide; at 5.49 m/s, it can only be about 11.5 m wide.

A light ray incident on a block of glass makes an incident angle of 50.0° with the normal to the surface. The refracted ray in t
Andru [333]

Answer:

n_{glass} = 1.65

Explanation:

As we know that the angle of incidence is given as

i = 50.0^o

also we have angle of refraction as

r = 27.7^o

now by Snell's law we know that

n_{air} sin i = n_{glass} sin r

1 sin50 = n_{glass} sin 27.7

now we have

n_{glass} = \frac{sin 50}{sin 27.7}

n_{glass} = 1.65

1. In what type of ecosystem can monkeys population be found?
sp2606 [1]
I, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.

Here are the answers to your questions:

1. Monkeys live in tropical rainforest ecosystems.
2. Animals should be left alone in nature to take part in the balance of the ecosystem, and not upset it. A sudden increase of monkey population, probably due to destruction of rainforests which lead to lesser area of living for them. 
3. Monkeys take a huge part in seed dispersal among flesh fruit plants. Without them, it will greatly affect the conservation of the forests.
