Find the horizontal components vcos30 ...one goes right and one goes left so they cancel each other.
Find vertical components vsin30.....there are two of them.... so 2vcos30....hey presto... resultant velocity = 2vCos30

Spiderman, whose mass is 70.0 kg, is dangling on the free end of a 12.2-m-long rope, the other end of which is fixed to a tree l

Answer:

U = -3978.8 J

Explanation:

The work of the gravitational force U just depends of the heigth and is calculated as:

U = -mgh

Where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h the alture.

for calculate the alture we will use the following equation:

h = L-Lcos(θ)

Where L is the large of the rope and θ is the angle.

Replacing data:

h = 12.2-12.2cos(58.4)

h = 5.8 m

Finally U is equal to:

U = -70(9.8)(5.8)

U = -3,978.8 J

Answer:

Δθ₁ = 172.5 rev

Δθ₁h = 43.1 rev

Δθ₂ = 920 rev

Δθ₂h = 690 rev

Explanation:

Assuming uniform angular acceleration, we can use the following kinematic equation in order to find the total angle rotated during the acceleration process, from rest to its operating speed:

$\Delta \theta = \frac{1}{2} *\alpha *(\Delta t)^{2} (1)$

Now, we need first to find the value of the angular acceleration, that we can get from the following expression:

$\omega_{f1} = \omega_{o} + \alpha * \Delta t (2)$

Since the machine starts from rest, ω₀ = 0.
We know the value of ωf₁ (the operating speed) in rev/min.
Due to the time is expressed in seconds, it is suitable to convert rev/min to rev/sec, as follows:

$3450 \frac{rev}{min} * \frac{1 min}{60s} = 57.5 rev/sec (3)$

Replacing by the givens in (2):

$57.5 rev/sec = 0 + \alpha * 6 s (4)$

Solving for α:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_{f1}}{\Delta t} = \frac{57.5 rev/sec}{6 sec} = 9.6 rev/sec2 (5)$

Replacing (5) and Δt in (1), we get:

$\Delta \theta_{1} = \frac{1}{2} *\alpha *(\Delta t)^{2} = \frac{1}{2} * 6.9 rev/sec2* 36 sec2 = 172.5 rev (6)$

in order to get the number of revolutions during the first half of this period, we need just to replace Δt in (6) by Δt/2, as follows:

$\Delta \theta_{1h} = \frac{1}{2} *\alpha *(\Delta t/2)^{2} = \frac{1}{2} * 6.9 rev/sec2* 9 sec2 = 43.2 rev (7)$

In order to get the number of revolutions rotated during the deceleration period, assuming constant deceleration, we can use the following kinematic equation:

$\Delta \theta = \omega_{o} * \Delta t + \frac{1}{2} *\alpha *(\Delta t)^{2} (8)$

First of all, we need to find the value of the angular acceleration during the second period.
We can use again (2) replacing by the givens:
ωf =0 (the machine finally comes to an stop)
ω₀ = ωf₁ = 57.5 rev/sec
Δt = 32 s

$0 = 57.5 rev/sec + \alpha * 32 s (9)$

Solving for α in (9), we get:

$\alpha_{2} =- \frac{\omega_{f1}}{\Delta t} = \frac{-57.5 rev/sec}{32 sec} = -1.8 rev/sec2 (10)$

Now, we can replace the values of ω₀, Δt and α₂ in (8), as follows:

$\Delta \theta_{2} = (57.5 rev/sec*32) s -\frac{1}{2} * 1.8 rev/sec2\alpha *(32s)^{2} = 920 rev (11)$

In order to get finally the number of revolutions rotated during the first half of the second period, we need just to replace 32 s by 16 s, as follows:
$\Delta \theta_{2h} = (57.5 rev/sec*16 s) -\frac{1}{2} * 1.8 rev/sec2\alpha *(16s)^{2} = 690 rev (12)$
