Tarzan (m = 81 kg) tries to cross a river by swinging from a 9 m long vine. His speed at the bottom of the swing (as he just cle

ars the water) is 5.8 m/s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . What should be the breaking strength of the vine is so that Tarzan can make it safely across the river?

Answer:

1096.56 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of Tarzan = 81 Kg

r = 9 m

speed, v = 5.8 m/s

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

motion of Tarzan is in circular motion

Centripetal force

F = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

F = \dfrac{81\times 5.8^2}{9}

     F = 302.76 N

Normal Force  acting on Tarzan

F = mg

F = 81 x 9.8

F = 793.8 N

Net force = 302.76 N + 793.8 N

               = 1096.56 N

The breaking strength of the vine should be more than 1,096.56 N.

tatyana61 [14]

The complete question is missing, so i have attached the complete question.

Answer:

A) FBD is attached.

B) The condition that must be satisfied is for ω_min = √(g/r)

C) The tension in the string would be zero. This is because at the smallest frequency, the only radially inward force at that point is the weight(force of gravity).

Explanation:

A) I've attached the image of the free body diagram.

B) The formula for the net force is given as;

F_net = mv²/r

We know that angular velocity;ω = v/r

Thus;

F_net = mω²r

Now, the minimum downward force is the weight and so;

mg = m(ω_min)²r

m will cancel out to give;

g = (ω_min)²r

(ω_min)² = g/r

ω_min = √(g/r)

The condition that must be satisfied is for ω_min = √(g/r)

C) The tension in the string would be zero. This is because at the smallest frequency, the only radially inward force at that point is the weight(force of gravity).

A rocket has landed on Planet X, which has half the radius of Earth. An astronaut onboard the rocket weighs twice as much on Pla
Burka [1]

Explanation:

Let acceleration due to Gravity for a planet is given by:

g_X=GM/R^2

Here,g_X = 2g

Escape velocity is given by:

v =\sqrt{ \frac{2GM} {R}} = \sqrt{2aR}

Here, R=R_earth/2

and g_X = 2g

Therefore,v=\sqrt(2(2g)(R/2))=v_0

A 2 nC point charge is at the origin, and a second 5 nC point charge is on the x-axis at x = 8 m. Find the electric field (magni
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

The magnitude of  the electric field is 5.75 N/C towards positive x- axis.

Explanation:

Given that,

Point charge at origin = 2 nC

Second charge = 5 nC

Distance at x axis = 8 m

We need to calculate the electric field at the point x = 2 m

Using formula of electric field

E=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}(\dfrac{q_{1}}{r_{1}^2}+\dfrac{q_{2}}{r_{2}^2})

Put the value into the formula

E=9\times10^{9}\times(\dfrac{2\times10^{-9}}{2^2}+\dfrac{5\times10^{-9}}{(8-2)^2})

E=5.75\ N/C

The direction is toward positive x- axis.

Hence, The magnitude of  the electric field is 5.75 N/C towards positive x- axis.
