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.

A delivery truck leaves a warehouse and travels 3.20 km east. The truck makes a right turn and travels 2.45 km south to arrive a
boyakko [2]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Displacement of the delivery truck, d_1=3.2\ km (due east)

Then the truck moves, d_2=2.45\ km (due south)

Let d is the magnitude of the truck’s displacement from the warehouse. The net displacement is given by :

d=\sqrt{d_1^2+d_2^2}

d=\sqrt{3.2^2+2.45^2}

d = 4.03 km

Let \theta is the direction of the truck’s displacement from the warehouse from south of east.

\theta=tan^{-1}(\dfrac{2.45}{3.2})

\theta=37.43^{\circ}

So, the magnitude and direction of the truck’s displacement from the warehouse is 4.03 km, 37.4° south of east.

A weightlifter lifts a 1250-N barbell 2 m in 3 s.How much power was used to lift the barbell?
Vlad [161]

The power is 833.3 W

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the work done in lifting the barbell, which is equal to the change in gravitational potential energy of the barbell:

W=(mg)h

where

mg = 1250 N is the weight of the barbell

h = 2 m is the change in height

Substituting,

W=(1250)(2)=2500 J

Now we can calculate the power, which is equal to the work done per unit time:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W = 2500 J is the work done

t = 3 s is the time taken

Substituting,

P=\frac{2500}{3}=833.3 W
