Answer:

$v=10.777m/s$

Explanation:

Tarzan swing can be thought of as change in potential energy by going from higher location We solve for height of beginning of the swing by using simple cosine equation:

So

$31Cos36=25.08\\E_{potential}=mgh\\$

ΔE=mg(h₂-h₁)

$=m*9.81(31-25.08)\\$

The potential energy of Tarzan initial position is converted into kinetic energy of his swing.By using kinetic equation

$E_{kinectic}=P_{potential}\\1/2mv^{2}=m*9.81(31.0-25.08)\\(1/2)v^{2}=9.81(31.0-25.08)\\0.5v^{2}=58.07\\v^{2}=58.07/0.5\\v=\sqrt{58.07/0.5}\\ v=10.777m/s$

Acceleration is mathematically defined as; ΔV/t.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

Acceleration is defined as the ratio of the change in velocity to time. It is defined as the extent to which the velocity changes within a given time interval.

The question is incomplete so we can not arrive at the final answer. However, acceleration is mathematically defined as; ΔV/t.

Having difficulty finding the PE and KE for these values no mass is given. Does anyone know to go solve these?

Alexandra [31]

11) $1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

12) $1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

13) 50.0 m/s

14) 41.6 m/s

Explanation:

11)

The potential energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position relative to the ground. It is given by

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height relative to the ground

Here in this problem, when the train is at the top, we have:

m = 8325 kg (mass of the train + riders)

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ (acceleration due to gravity)

h = 127 m (height of the train at the top)

Substituting,

$PE=(8325)(9.8)(127)=1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

12)

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy of the train must be conserved (in absence of friction). So we can write:

$KE_t + PE_t = KE_b + PE_b$

where

$KE_t$ is the kinetic energy at the top

$PE_t$ is the potential energy at the top

$KE_b$ is the kinetic energy at the bottom

$PE_b$ is the potential energy at the bottom

The kinetic energy is the energy due to motion; since the train is at rest at the top, we have

$KE_t=0$

Also, at the bottom the height is zero, so the potential energy is zero

$PE_b=0$

Therefore, we find:

$KE_b=PE_t=1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

13)

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy of the object due to its motion. Mathematically, it is given by

$KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the speed of the object

From question 12), we know that the kinetic energy of the train at the bottom is

$KE=1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

We also know that the mass is

m = 8325 kg

Therefore, we can calculate the speed of the train at the bottom:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.04\cdot 10^7)}{8325}}=50.0 m/s$

14)

At the top of the second hill, the total mechanical energy of the train is still conserved.

Therefore, we can write again:

$KE_1 + PE_1 = KE_2 + PE_2$

where

$KE_1$ is the kinetic energy at the top of the 1st hill

$PE_1$ is the potential energy at the top of the 1st hill

$KE_2$ is the kinetic energy at the top of the 2nd hill

$PE_2$ is the potential energy at the top of the 2nd hill

From the previous questions, we know that

$KE_1=0$

and

$PE_1=1.04\cdot 10^7 J$

The height of the second hill is

h = 39 m

So we can also find the potential energy at the second hill:

$PE_2=mgh=(8325)(9.8)(39)=3.2\cdot 10^6 J$

So, the kinetic energy at the second hill is

$KE_2=PE_1-PE_2=1.04\cdot 10^7 - 3.2\cdot 10^6 =7.2\cdot 10^6 J$

And so, the speed is

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2KE_2}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(7.2\cdot 10^6)}{8325}}=41.6 m/s$

What is meant by a colored shadow? If "shadow" means

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Explanation:

Red, green, and blue are therefore called additive primaries of light. ... When you block two lights, you see a shadow of the third color—for example, block the red and green lights and you get a blue shadow. If you block only one of the lights, you get a shadow whose color is a mixture of the other two.

First, your definition of a shadow is incorrect. A shadow is an area that receives less light than its surroundings because a specific source of light is blocked by whatever is "casting" the shadow. Your example of being outside reveals this. The sky and everything around you in the environment (unless you are surrounded by pitch black buildings) is sending more than enough light into your shadow, to reveal the pen to your eyes. The sky itself diffuses the sunlight everywhere, and the clouds reflect plenty of light when they are not directly in front of the Sun.

If you are indoors and have two light bulbs, you can throw two shadows at the same time, possibly of different darknesses, depending on the brightness of the light bulbs.

It can take a lot of work to get a room pitch black. One little hole or crack in some heavy window curtains can be enough to illuminate the room. There are very few perfectly dark shadows.
