A 26.0 kg child plays on a swing having support ropes that are 2.40 m long. A friend pulls her back until the ropes are 45.0 ∘ f

rom the vertical and releases her from rest. What is the potential energy for the child just as she is released, compared with the potential energy at the bottom of the swing? How fast will she be moving at the bottom of the swing? How much work does the tension in the ropes do as the child swings from the initial position to the bottom?

A)Ep'=mgh=mgl(1-cosa).At the bottom of the swing Ep=0(reference level),so the potential energy as the child is just released is bigger than the potential energy at the bottom of the swing.;B)The speed of the child at the bottom of the swing-->v=√(2gh)=√[2gl(1-cosa)];C)I don't think that the tension does any work.

If two objects collid and one is initially at rest, is it possible for both to be at rest after the collision?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

<em>Is it NOT possible for both particles to be at rest after the collision</em>

Explanation:

<u>Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum</u>

The total linear momentum of a system of particles is conserved regardless of their internal interactions while no external force is applied to the system. If m_1 and m_2 are the masses of two particles, and only one of them is at rest, there is a non-zero total linear momentum, i.e.

P_1=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

if at least one of the speeds is not zero, the total initial linear momentum is not zero.

If after the collision, both particles remain at rest, both speeds will be zero and the total linear momentum won't be conserved.

So, is it NOT possible for both particles to be at rest after the collision

a book is sitting still on your desk. are the forces acting on the book balanced or unbalanced? explain.
GrogVix [38]
<span>They are balanced. If the forces were not balanced the book would move*. In this example, the downward force of gravity on the book is counterbalanced by the upthrust of the desk. </span>

If you were designing a room in a house, where would be the better place to put a heater, near the floor or near the ceiling? Wh
taurus [48]

Answer: The correct explanation is 2.

Explanation: The warm air is less dense (it expands) and thus it is lighter than the cold air so it will rise up to the floor. Therefore, when you place the heater on the floor it will warm the cold air which would then rise and be replaced by more cold air which would again get warm and rise and so on until the room is heated. This means that the correct explanation is 2.

On the other hand, if you put the heater at the ceiling, it will warm the cold air near the ceiling which would stay up there (it is lighter than the cold air under it). This means that the only way for the heat to spread from this ceiling level warm air to the lower levels is via conduction which is slow.

A Meteorite Strikes On October 9, 1992, a 27-pound meteorite struck a car in Peekskill, NY, leaving a dent 22 cm deep in the tru
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Acceleration of the meteorite, a=-38409.09\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

A Meteorite after striking struck a car, v = 0

Initial speed of the Meteorite, u = 130 m/s

Distance covered by Meteorite, s = 22 cm = 0.22 m

We need to find the magnitude of its deceleration. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as :

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

a=\dfrac{-(130)^2}{2\times 0.22}

a=-38409.09\ m/s^2

So, the deceleration of the Meteorite is -38409.09\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.
