<h2><em>A reference point is a place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion. An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point. You assume that the reference point is stationary, or not moving.</em></h2>
Answer:
a) T = 608.22 N
b) T = 608.22 N
c) T = 682.62 N
d) T = 533.82 N
Explanation:
Given that the mass of gymnast is m = 62.0 kg
Acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.81 m/s²
Thus; The weight of the gymnast is acting downwards and tension in the string acting upwards.
So;
To calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast hangs motionless on the rope; we have;
T = mg
= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
= 608.22 N
When the gymnast climbs the rope at a constant rate tension in the string is
= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
= 608.22 N
When the gymnast climbs up the rope with an upward acceleration of magnitude
a = 1.2 m/s²
the tension in the string is T - mg = ma (Since acceleration a is upwards)
T = ma + mg
= m (a + g )
= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s² + 1.2 m/s²)
= (62.0 kg) (11.01 m/s²)
= 682.62 N
When the gymnast climbs up the rope with an downward acceleration of magnitude
a = 1.2 m/s² the tension in the string is mg - T = ma (Since acceleration a is downwards)
T = mg - ma
= m (g - a )
= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s² - 1.2 m/s²)
= (62.0 kg)(8.61 m/s²)
= 533.82 N
Explanation:
electrical potential = (6.6-3.4)/0.20
= 16 uc/m

Answer: x=125m, y=48.308m</h2>
Explanation:
This situation is a good example of the projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which we have two components: x-component and y-component. Being their main equations to find the position as follows:
x-component:
(1)
Where:
is the projectile's initial speed
is the angle
is the time since the projectile is launched until it strikes the target
is the final horizontal position of the projectile (the value we want to find)
y-component:
(2)
Where:
is the initial height of the projectile (we are told it was launched at ground level)
is the final height of the projectile (the value we want to find)
is the acceleration due gravity
Having this clear, let's begin with x (1):
(3)
(4) This is the horizontal final position of the projectile
For y (2):
(5)
(6) This is the vertical final position of the projectile
