Drupady [299]
The radius of the circle, in cm, after t seconds would be 50t 
The area, A, of the circle after t seconds is expressed in the equation: A = pi * r^2 
A = pi * (50T)^2 = pi*2500*t^2 
The change of area per unit time is obtained by differentiating the equation
A' = pi*2500*2*t A' = pi*5000*t
when t = 3 secondsA' = pi*5000*3 = 47122 cm2/s

Tarzan, whose mass is 75 kg, is running from a cheetah. Tarzan is moving at 5 m/s when he grabs onto a hanging vine. How high of
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

His Kinetic energy = 1/2 m v^2

v = 5 m/s

m = 75 kg

Ke = 1/2 75 * 5^2

Ke = 937.5 Joules

This will be converted to PE when he reaches the maximum height he reaches. In other words KE = PE

PE = m * g * h

m = 75

g = 9.81

h = ?

PE = 937.5

937.5 = 75 * 9.81 * h

937.5 = 735.75 * h

937.5/735.75 = h

h= 1.27 meters
