Three swimmers can swim equally fast relative to the water. They have a race to see who can swim across a flowing river in the l

east time. Swimmer A swims perpendicular to the current and lands on the opposite shore downstream, because the current has swept him in that direction. Swimmer B swims upstream at angle to the current, so that when she reaches the other side, she is straight across from where she started. Swimmer C swims downstream at an angle theta in an attempt to take advantage of the current. Who crosses the river in the least time?

A solid cylinder of mass 3.0 kg and radius 0.2 m starts from rest at the top of a ramp, inclined 15°, and rolls to the bottom wi
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

v = 4.4271 m/s

Explanation:

Given

m = 3 Kg

R = 0.2 m

∅ = 15°

h = 1.5 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

v = ?

Ignoring frictional losses, at the bottom of the plane

Total kinetic energy is  =  Potential Energy at the top of plane

Using Law of conservation of energy we have

U = Kt + Kr

m*g*h = 0.5*m*v² + 0.5*I*ω²

knowing that

Icylinder = 0.5*m*R²

ω = v/R

we have

m*g*h = 0.5*m*v² + 0.5*(0.5*mR²)*(v/R)² = 0.75*m*v²

⇒  v = √(g*h/0.75) = √(9.8 m/s²*1.5 m/0.75)

⇒  v = 4.4271 m/s

Ratling [72]

The net torque exerted by the children on the branch of the tree is 1382 N-m.

The torque exert by the kids is calculated as

T= 45.6*9.8*1.28*cos27.5°+36*9.8*(2.25-1.28)cos27.5°

T=1382 N-m

Hence, The net torque exerted by the children on the branch of the tree is 1382 N-m.
