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

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Explanation:

I hate these kinds of problems,  luckily I can't understand how much the kinetic friction is for this ,  the words are all mixed around.  and don't read well.  Maybe this went through a translator program?   My suggestion draw the free body diagram.   so you can see where the forces are, and how they are acting.   getting the free body diagram right.. usually makes these problems pretty straight forward.   just do the steps and you get the answer.

A 15.0 kg fish swimming at 1.10 m/s suddenly gobbles up a 4.50 kg fish that is initially stationary. Ignore any drag effects of
Nana76 [90]

Answer

given.

Mass of big fish = 15 Kg

speed of big fish = 1.10 m/s

mass of the small fish = 4.50 Kg

speed of the fish after eating small fish =?

a) using conservation of momentum

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁+m₂) V

15 x 1.10 + 4.50 x 0 = (15 + 4.5)V

16.5 = 19.5 V

V = 0.846 m/s

b) Kinetic energy before collision

KE_1 = \dfrac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2

KE_1 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 15 \times 1.1^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}m_2\times 0^2

KE₁ = 9.075 J

Kinetic energy after collision

KE_2= \dfrac{1}{2}(15+4.5)\times 0.846^2

KE₂ = 6.98 J

Change in KE = 6.98 - 9.075 = -2.096 J

hence,

mechanical energy was dissipated during this meal = -2.096 J

Suppose you are in total equilibrium in water (in other words you are floating and not moving in any direction)What could you do
Eva8 [605]

Explanation:

According to newtons first law of motion:

'' a body will continue in its state of rest or uniform motion along a path unless it is acted upon by an external force".

A body in equilibrium that is floating will be stable and not move in any direction. Even if it moves, the motion will be constant wouldn't change.

  • To move the body in any direction, one has to swim.
  • Swimming is the application of an external force to counter the balanced forces at equilibrium on a body.
  • This works when the net external force is greater than that the balanced forces.
