Tarzan, in one tree, sights Jane in another tree. He grabs the end of a vine with length 20 m that makes an angle of 45 degrees

with the vertical, steps off his tree limb, and swings down and then up to Jane's open arms. When he arrives, his vine makes an angle of 30 degrees with the vertical. Calculate Tarzan's speed just before he reaches Jane. You can ignore air resistance and the mass of the vine.

Answer:

v = 7.9 m/s

Explanation:

length of the vine (L) = 20 m

initial angle with the vertical = 45 degrees

final angle with the vertical = 30 degrees

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

speed (v) =?

to solve this problem we can apply the equation below:

loss in potential energy = gain in kinetic energy

m x g x h = 1/2 x m x v^{2}

v = \sqrt{2gh}

before we can apply the above we need to get our height

height = initial vertical height - final vertical height

height = (L - L cosθ2) -  (L - L cosθ1)

height = (20 - 20cos45) - (20 - 20cos30) = 3.2 m

v = \sqrt{2 x 9.8 x 3.2}

v = 7.9 m/s

The ratio of the speed of light in a medium to the speed of light in a vacuum
Liula [17]

Answer:D.Refractive Indez

Explanation:

It is usually expressed the other way: the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a medium. In that case, it is called the "index of refraction".

Which of the following is an effect of the electric force?
stich3 [128]

As we know that two charges exert force on each other when they are placed near to each other

The force between two charges is given as

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

here we know that

q_1, q_2 = two different point charges

r = distance between two point charges

also we know that two similar charges always repel each other while two opposite charges always attract each other

so here correct answer would be

<em>A. A positive and negative charge attract each other.</em>
