Tarzan has foolishly gotten himself into another scrape with the animals and must be rescued once again by Jane. The 60.0 kg Jan

e starts from rest at a height of 5.50 m in the trees and swings down to the ground using a thin, but very rigid, 32.0 kg vine 8.50 m long. She arrives just in time to snatch the 72.0 kg Tarzan from the jaws of an angry hippopotamus. What is Jane's (and the vine's) angular speed

Complete part of Question: What is Jane's (and the vine's) angular speed just before she grabs Tarzan

Answer:

Jane's (and the vine's) angular speed just before she grabs Tarzan, w = 1.267 rad/s

Explanation:

According to the law of energy conservation:

Total change in kinetic energy = Total change in potential energy

Mass of Jane = 60 kg

Mass of the vine = 32 kg

Mass of Tarzan = 72 kg

Height of Tarzan = 5.50 m

Length of the vine = 8.50 m

Jane's change in gravitational potential energy,

$U_J = 60 * 9.8 * 5.5\\U_J = 3234 J$

Vine's gravitational potential energy,

$U_v = Mgh/2\\U_v = 32*9.8*5.5/2\\U_v = 862.4J$

Vine's Kinetic energy :

$KE_V = 0.5 I w^{2} \\I_V = \frac{ML^2}{3} = \frac{32 * 8.5^2}{3} = 770.67 kg m^2\\ KE_V = 0.5 *770.67 * w^{2}\\KE_V = 385.33 w^{2}$

Jane's Kinetic energy:

$KE_J = 0.5m(wL)^2\\KE_J = 0.5*60(w * 8.5)^2\\KE_J = 2167.5 w^2$

$U_J + U_V = KE_J + KE_V$

3234 + 862.4 = 2167.5w² + 385.33w²

4096.4 = 2552.83w²

w² = 4096.4/2552.83

w² = 1.605

w = √1.605

w = 1.267 rad/s

Based on the second law of thermodynamics, how would you expect a system to change over time?

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Endless movement between hot and cold will eventually mean the end of the universe. This law is about inefficiency, degeneration and decay. <u>The second law can be expressed in several ways, the simplest being that heat will naturally flow from a hotter to a colder body. At its heart is a property of thermodynamic systems called entropy.</u> Entropy basically means an increase in randomness. Hope this helps mate.

In an experiment, a variable, position-dependent force F(x)F(x) is exerted on a block of mass 1.0kg1.0kg that is moving on a hor

leonid [27]

Answer:

The function F(x) for 0 < x < 5, the block's initial velocity, and the value of F(f).

(C) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block = 1.0 kg

Dependent force = F(x)

Frictional force = F(f)

Suppose, the following information would students need to test the hypothesis,

(A) The function F(x) for 0 < x < 5 and the value of F(f).

(B) The function a(t) for the time interval of travel and the value of F(f).

(C) The function F(x) for 0 < x < 5, the block's initial velocity, and the value of F(f).

(D) The function a(t) for the time interval of travel, the time it takes the block to move 5 m, and the value of F(f).

(E) The block's initial velocity, the time it takes the block to move 5 m, and the value of F(f).

We know that,

The work done by a force is given by,

$W=\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{F(x)\ dx}$ .....(I)

Where, $F(x)$ = net force

We know, the net force is the sum of forces.

So, $\sum{F}=ma$

According to question,

We have two forces F(x) and F(f)

So, the sum of these forces are

$F(x)+(-F(f))=ma$

Here, frictional force is negative because F(f) acts against the F(x)

Now put the value in equation (I)

$W=\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{(F(x)-F(f))dx}$

We need to find the value of $\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{(F(x)-F(f))dx}$

Using newton's second law

$\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{(F(x)-F(f))dx}=\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{ma\ dx}$ ...(II)

We know that,

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

$a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

Put the value of a in equation (II)

$\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{(F(x)-F(f))dx}=\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{m\dfrac{dv}{dt}dx}$

$\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{(F(x)-F(f))dx}=\int_{v_{0}}^{v_{f}}{mv\ dv}$

$\int_{x_{0}}^{x_{f}}{(F(x)-F(f))dx}=\dfrac{mv_{f}^2}{2}+\dfrac{mv_{0}^2}{2}$

Now, the work done by the net force on the block is,

$W=\dfrac{mv_{f}^2}{2}+\dfrac{mv_{0}^2}{2}$

The work done by the net force on the block is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the block.

Hence, The function F(x) for 0 < x < 5, the block's initial velocity, and the value of F(f).

(C) is correct option.

A helicopter, starting from rest, accelerates straight up from the roof of a hospital. The lifting force does work in raising th

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

25032.47 W

Explanation:

Power is the time rate of doing work, hence,

P = Work done(non conservative) / time

Work done (non conservative) is given as:

W = total K. E. + total P. E.

Total K. E. = 0.5mv²- 0.5mu²

Where v (final velocity) = 7.0m/s, u (initial velocity) = 0m/s

Total P. E. = mgh(f) - mgh(i)

Where h(f) (final height) = 7.2m, h(i) (initial height) = 0 m

=> W = 0.5mv² - mgh(f)

P = [0.5mv² - mgh(f)] / t

P = [(0.5*790*7²) - (790*9.8*7.2)] / 3

P = (19355 + 55742.4) / 3 = 75097.4/3

P = 25032.47 W

Assume that the equator of the Earth is 24,000 miles long (that’s its circumference). Now, pretend that you are standing somewhe

slega [8]

Answer:

1000 mph

Explanation:

P = Perimeter = 24000 mi

r = Radius of the equator

t = Time taken to complete one rotation = 24 h

Perimeter of a circle is given by

$P=2\pi r\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{P}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{24000}{2\pi}\ mi$

Angular speed is given by

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{t}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{24}$

Velocity if given by

$v=r\omega\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{24000}{2\pi}\times \dfrac{2\pi}{24}\\\Rightarrow v=1000\ mph$

The person would be going at a speed of 1000 mph
