Batman, whose mass is 122 kg, is holding on to the free end of a 6.89 m rope, the other end of which is fixed to a tree limb abo

ve. He is able to get the rope in motion as only Batman knows how, eventually getting it to swing enough that he can reach a ledge when the rope makes a 77.8 ◦ angle with the vertical. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . How much work was done against the force of gravity in this maneuver? Answer in units of J.

Answer:

6496.854532 J

Explanation:

m = Mass of batman = 122 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

The distance to the ground is given by

h=6.89-6.89cos77.8\\\Rightarrow h=5.43397\ m

The work done will be the potential energy

W=mgh\\\Rightarrow W=122\times 9.8\times 5.43397\\\Rightarrow W=6496.854532\ J

The work done against the force of gravity in this maneuver is 6496.854532 J

How does a mirror affect the path of light?
yulyashka [42]

Light rays change direction when they hit a mirror. The phenomenon is known as reflection. Light rays travels in a straight light. They strike the surface of the mirror at a particular angle called incident angle. It is the angle between the ray and normal at the point of contact. The rays leaves the surface making the same angle with the normal called reflection angle but in different direction.

a rocket, initially at rest, is fired vertically with a net upward acceleration of 12 m/s2 . at an altitude of 0.50 km, the engi
kobusy [5.1K]

The rocket travelled a maximum height at 1.0102 km.

Given,

The acceleration of a rocket (a) = 12 m/s²

The altitude of the rocket (s) =  0.50 km = 0.5×10³m

The maximum height of the rocket (h) = ?

Solution,

A rocket is a spacecraft, aircraft, vehicle or projectile that obtains thrust from a rocket engine.

The rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time is known as acceleration. It is denoted by (a).i.e. unit is m/s²

(a) = Δv/Δt

Where , Δv is change in velocity and Δt is change in time.

The rate of change in position with respect to time is known as velocity. i.e. Its unit is m/s.

(v)= Δx/Δt

Where,Δx is the change in position and Δt is change in time & v is velocity.

Therefore we know the equation of motion is written as,

v² = u² +2as

Where, v  is final velocity , u is initial velocity , a is acceleration and s is altitude of the rocket.

Then putting the value ,

v² = 0 + ( 2× 10 × 0.5×10³)m/s

v² = \sqrt{10000} m/s

v = 100 m/s

Therefore, at altitude of 0.50 km the initial velocity of rocket (u) will be 100 m/s, final velocity v become zero and under free falling the acceleration will be taken (-g) then equation of motion can be given as ,

v² = u² - 2(g)h

h = (v²- u² ) / 2g

h = 10,000/2×9.8

h = 510.2 m

So that the rocket travelled the maximum height ,

(h)= (0.5 km + 510.2m)

(h) = 1.0102 km

Hence, the rocket travelled at the maximum height h is 1.0102 km

Why would companies want their sunscreen to absorb nearly all of the UV light?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Sunscreen is like a shield, you would want a better shield to protect you than a weak one so companies try to make their sunscreen better than the rest.

Objects 1 and 2 attract each other with a electrostatic force of 72.0 units. If the distance separating objects 1 and 2 is chang
qaws [65]

Answer:

288.0 units; that is the electrostatic force of attraction become quadruple of its initial value.

Explanation:

If all other parameters are constant,

Electrostatic Force of attraction ∝ (1/r²)

F = (k/r²) = 72.0

If r₁ = r/2, what happens to F₁

F₁ = (k/r₁²) = k/(r/2)² = (4k/r²) = 4F = 4 × 72 = 288.0 units
