Tarzan swings on a 31.0 m long vine initially inclined at an angle of 36.0◦ with the vertical. The acceleration of gravity if 9.

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

$v=10.777m/s$

Explanation:

Tarzan swing can be thought of as change in potential energy by going from higher location We solve for height of beginning of the swing by using simple cosine equation:

$31Cos36=25.08\\E_{potential}=mgh\\$

ΔE=mg(h₂-h₁)

$=m*9.81(31-25.08)\\$

The potential energy of Tarzan initial position is converted into kinetic energy of his swing.By using kinetic equation

$E_{kinectic}=P_{potential}\\1/2mv^{2}=m*9.81(31.0-25.08)\\(1/2)v^{2}=9.81(31.0-25.08)\\0.5v^{2}=58.07\\v^{2}=58.07/0.5\\v=\sqrt{58.07/0.5}\\ v=10.777m/s$

A tourist drops (from rest) a ping pong ball from the top of the tower, which has a height of 324 meters. Assuming no air resist

Elanso [62]

Answer:

8.13secs

Explanation:

From the question weal are given

Height H =324m

Required

time it takes to drop t

Using the equation of motion

H = ut + 1/2gt²

Substitute the given values

324 = 0(t)+1/2(9.8)t²

324 = 1/2(9.8)t²

324 = 4.9t²

t² =324/4.9

t² = 66.12

t = √66.12

t = 8.13secs

Hence the time taken to drop is 8.13secs
