Answer

mass of the block = 4.10 Kg

distance of slide = 2.1 m

angle of inclination = 30.0°

μ_k be equal to 0.436

a) Work done by the gravity

  W = \mu_k m g sin \theta \times d

  W =0.436 \times 4.1 \times 9.8 \times  sin 30^0 \times 2.1

  W =19.39\ J

b) Work done due to friction = \mu N L

                              =  -\mu m g cos \theta L

                              =  -0.436 \times 4.1 \times 9.8 \times cos 30^0 \times 2.1

                              = -31.86 J

c) work done by the normal force = 0 J

Since normal force and displacement are perpendicular to each other

d) for steeper angle

   sin θ value is high

   cos θ value is less

   work done by gravity on steeper angle is more

   work done by frictional force will on steeper angle is less

   work done by normal force is zero

Answer:

The maximum height Tarzan and Jane can swing as a fraction of her initial heigh is ⅓h

Explanation:

Let

m = Mass of Tarzan

M = Mass of Jane

Given

M = 2m

To calculate the maximum height Tarzan and Jane can swing, we make use of the potential energy at their initial and final position.

Reason being that;

At both the initial and final position, velocity is 0, so there's no kinetic energy.

And the potential energy remains the same (i.e constant) at any given point in the system.

Using P.E = mgh.

At initial position, PE1 = mgh

At final position, PE2 = (m + M)gH.

Where h and H represent the initial and final heights.

m + M is the new weight after Jane and Tarzan swing

Equating PE1 to PE2

mgh = (m + M)gH

By substituton (M = 2m)

mgh = (m + 2m)gH

mgh = 3mgH

Make H the subject of the formula

H = mgh/3mg

H = ⅓h

Hence, the maximum height Tarzan and Jane can swing as a fraction of her initial heigh is ⅓h

From the question, the new height looks to be about ½ that of Jane's original position; i.e. ½h

The calculated height is smaller than what the cartoon is showing;

We can conclude that the cartoon is wrong.

Consider the following equations of motion.
Helen [10]

A) No, the equations presented above are the product of the derivation of position and velocity when the acceleration is constant.

The equations change to polynomial function of the second degree for the description of the acceleration when described as a function of time.

B) Yes, when the acceleration is zero it is concluded that the velocity is constant, therefore they could be used to describe the position as a function of the change in velocity.
