Answer:

14.7 J

Explanation:

PE=MGH

PE= 1.0 x 9.8 x 1.5 = 14.7 J

If the position of a particle on the x-axis at time t is −5t2, then the average velocity of the particle for 0 ≤ t ≤ 3 is
Drupady [299]

Answer:

v = 15 m / s

Explanation:

In this exercise we are given the position function

          x = 5 t²

and we are asked for the average velocity in an interval between t = 0 and t= 3 s, which is defined by the displacement between the time interval

          v= \frac{v_{f} - v_{o} }{t_{f} - t_{o} }

let's look for the displacements

        t = 0     x₀ = 0 m

        t = 3     x_{f} = 5 3 2

                     x_{f} = 45 m

 

we substitute

           v = \frac{45 -0}{3 - 0}

           v = 15 m / s

Tarzan (who has mass 80.0 kg) is running across the jungle floor with speed 7.00 m/s as
Lesechka [4]

<u>We are given:</u>

Mass of Tarzan before swinging = 80 kg

Mass of Tarzan when swinging = 80 + 15 = 95 kg

Velocity of Tarzan = 7 m/s

The height of the rock Tarzan's monkey is sitting on = 3 m

__________________________________________________________

<u>Momentum of Tarzan before swinging:</u>

We know that:

Momentum = Mass*Velocity

Momentum = 80 * 7

Momentum = 560 kg m/s

__________________________________________________________

<u>Speed of Tarzan after grabbing the bananas:</u>

The momentum of Tarzan will remain the same but his mass will increase

So, Since Momentum = New Mass* velocity

560 = 95 * v                           [where v is the velocity of Tarzan]

v = 5.9 m/s

<u>__________________________________________________________</u>

<h3><u>Finding the Initial and Final KE and PE:</u></h3>

<em>Here, KE = Kinetic Energy and PE = Potential Energy</em>

<u>Initial and Final KE:</u>

We know that KE = 1/2*(mv²)

<u>Initial KE:</u>

Initial KE = 1/2*(mv²)          [where v is the velocity after picking the bananas]

Initial KE = 1/2*(95*5.9²)

Initial KE = 1653.5 Joules

<u>Final KE:</u>

Final KE = 1/2*(mv²)            

<em>[where v is the velocity at the maximum point of the swing]</em>

Since Tarzan will be at rest at the maximum point of the swing, v = 0 m/s

Final KE = 1/2*(95*0²)

Final KE = 0 Joules

<u>Initial and Final PE:</u>

We know that:

PE = mgh                

<em>[where g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height]</em>

<u>Initial PE:</u>

Since the height of Tarzan from the ground was 0 m at the beginning of the swing, h = 0

Initial PE = 95*10*0

Initial PE = 0 Joules

<u>Final PE:</u>

Let the maximum height of Tarzan be h m

Final PE = 95*10*h

Final PE = 950(h)

__________________________________________________________

<h3><u>Finding the maximum height Tarzan will reach:</u></h3>

<em>Here, KE = Kinetic Energy and PE = Potential Energy</em>

From the law of conservation of momentum, we know that:

Initial KE + Initial PE = Final KE + Final PE

Replacing the variables:

1653.5 + 0 = 0 + 950h

1653.5 = 950h

h = 1653.5/950         [dividing both sides by 950]

h = 1.74 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by Tarzan is 1.74 m

but since his monkey is sitting 3 m high, he will NOT be able to reach his monkey
