Answer:

a) Gravitational potential energy = 399 J

b) Gravitational potential energy = 66.5 J

c) Gravitational potential energy = 0 J

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please, see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem.

a) When the ropes are horizontal, the height of the child, relative to the child's lowest position, is 2.10 m (see figure).

The gravitational potential energy is calculated as follows:

PE = mgh

Where:

PE = potential energy.

mg = weight of the child

h = height.

Then when the ropes are horizontal, the potential energy will be:

PE = 190 N · 2.10 m = 399 J

b) When the ropes make a 34.0° with the vertical, the height of the child is 2.10 m minus x (see figure). To find x, we can use trigonometry of right triangles:

cos angle = adjacent side / hypotenuse

cos 34.0° = x / 2.10 m

x = 2.10 m · cos 34.0° = 1.75 m

Then, the height of the child relative to the lowest position is

(2.10 m - 1.75 m) = 0.35 m

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy will be:

PE = 190 N · 0.35 m

PE = 66.5 J

c) When the child is at the bottom of the circular arc the height is zero (the child is at the lowest position), then, the gravitational potential energy will be zero.

What is the difference between radial acceleration and tangential acceleration and how do you calculate both of these accelerati
sergey [27]

Answer:

Tangential acceleration is in the direction of velocity - along the circumference of a circle if the object is undergoing circular motion

a = (V2 - V1) / T

Radial acceleration is perpendicular to the direction of motion if the object is not moving in a straight line (perhaps along the circumference of a circle)

a = m V^2 / R = m ω^2 R   where R is the radius vector of the velocity - note that the Radius vector is directed from the center of motion to the object and for circular motion would be constant in magnitude but not  in direction

A scientist is examining an unknown solid. Which procedure would most likely help determine a chemical property of the substance
Neporo4naja [7]
<span>procedure would most likely help determine a chemical property of the substance is : exposing it to a flame to see if it catches on fire Chemical property is the characteristic that a substance has that differntiate it with another substance. The most common charatcteristics that most scientists wanted to know are : - It's flamability - It's radioactivity - Its toxicity By throwing the object into fire, we will easily find out these 3 characteristics</span>
