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

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

Two blocks of masses M and 2M are initially traveling at the same speed v but in the opposite directions. They collide and stick

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Two masses M and 2 M with velocity v in opposite direction

After collision they stick together

Initial momentum

$P_i=Mv-2Mv$

final momentum

$P_f=3Mv'$

Conserving momentum

$P_i=P_f$

$-Mv=3Mv'$

$v'=\frac{v}{3}$

i.e. system moves towards the direction of 2M mass

Initial kinetic Energy $K_1=\frac{1}{2}Mv^2+\frac{1}{2}2Mv^2$

$K_1=\frac{3}{2}Mv^2$

Final Kinetic Energy $K_2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot (3M)\cdot (\frac{v}{3})^2=\frac{3}{18}Mv^2$

loss of Energy $=K_1-K_2$

$=\frac{3}{2}Mv^2-\frac{3}{18}Mv^2$

$=\frac{4}{3}Mv^2$

Object A with a mass of 500 kilograms hits stationary object B with a mass of 920 kilograms. If the collision is elastic, what h

Vika [28.1K]

In elastic collision, both the kinetic energy and momentum are conserved. Conservation means that both the kinetic energy and momentum will have the same values before and after elastic collision.

<span>As the object A has low mass than object B. Hence upon collision, object B moves forward, while object A will move backward. So option "C" is correct. </span>

A particle with charge -5.60 nC is moving in a uniform magnetic field →B=−(1.25T) k The magnetic force on the particle is measur

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force = q ( v x B)

- 5.6 x 10⁻⁹ (v x - 1.25 k )

- 3.4x 10⁻⁷i + 7.4 x 10⁻⁷j

Let v = ai+bj +ck

Force = - 5.6 x 10⁻⁹ [(ai+bj +ck) x - 1.25 k )]

= - 5.6 x 10⁻⁹ ( 1.25aj - 1.25bi )

= - 7 a j + 7 b i

( 7bi - 7aj ) x 10⁻⁹

Comparing with given force

7b x 10⁻⁹ b = - 3.4 x 10⁻⁷

b = - 48.57

- 7 a x 10⁻⁹ = 7.4 x 10⁻⁷

a = - 105.7

velocity

= -105.7 i - 48.57 j + ck

b ) Component along k can not be obtained .

c ) v . F = ( -105.7 i - 48.57 j + ck ) . −(3.40×10−7N) ˆı +(7.40×10−7N) ˆȷ

= 105.7 x 3.4 x 10⁻⁷ - 48.57 x 7.4 x 10⁻⁷

= 359.38 x 10⁻⁷ - 359.38 x 10⁻⁷

=0

angle between v and F = 90 degree

a car drives 40 miles east, turns around, then drives 30 miles west. (a) Find the distance traveled by the car. (b) find the car

Dovator [93]

Part A)

Distance is given as sum of total path length

So here as we are given that car drives 40 miles East and 30 miles West

So here the total path length is

$Distance = 40 miles + 30 miles$

$distance = 70 miles$

Part B)

Displacement is given as straight line distance between initial and final position

So here we can see that

$d_1 = 40 miles$ East

$d_2 = 30 miles$ West

Now the total displacement will be

$d = d_1 - d_2 = 40 - 30 = 10 miles$

<u><em>so the displacement will be 10 miles East</em></u>
