Batman, whose mass is 89.5 kg, is holding on to the free end of a 13.4 m rope, the other end of which is fixed to a tree limb ab

ove. 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 72.4 ◦ 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:

8.2\times 10^{3} J

Explanation:

L = length of the rope connected = 13.4 m

\theta = Angle made by the rope with the vertical = 72.4°

h = height gained by the batman above the reference point  

Height gained by the batman above the reference point  is given as

h = L(1 - Cos\theta )

m = mass of batman = 89.5 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 ms⁻²

Work done against gravity is same as the gravitational potential energy gained by batman and is given as

W = mgh

W = mgL(1 - Cos\theta )

Inserting the above values

W = (89.5)(9.8)(13.4)(1 - Cos72.4 )

W = 8.2\times 10^{3} J

A physicist's right eye is presbyopic (i.e., farsighted). This eye can see clearly only beyond a distance of 97 cm, which makes
Ivan

Answer:

f = 19,877 cm   and  P = 5D

Explanation:

This is a lens focal length exercise, which must be solved with the optical constructor equation

        1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

where f is the focal length, p is the distance to the object and q is the distance to the image.

In this case the object is placed p = 25 cm from the eye, to be able to see it clearly the image must be at q = 97 cm from the eye

let's calculate

        1 / f = 1/97 + 1/25

        1 / f = 0.05

        f = 19,877 cm

the power of a lens is defined by the inverse of the focal length in meters

         P = 1 / f

         P = 1 / 19,877 10-2

         P = 5D

Velocity can best be described by which of the following statements?
pogonyaev

Answer: Velocity can best be described as, the speed in a given direction.

Explanation: To find the answer, we need to know more about the Velocity of a body.

<h3>What is Velocity of a body?</h3>
  • Velocity is the rate of change of displacement.
  • It's a vector quantity and is measured in m/s.
  • It can be positive, negative or zero.
  • A body is said to be in uniform motion, then its velocity remains constant.
  • Change in velocity can be a change in speed.
  • The magnitude of velocity is less than or equal to speed.

Thus, we can conclude that, the option C is best describing velocity.
