Answer:
Potential energy is
Explanation:
The potential energy depends on the mass, the acceleration of gravity g and the height at which the object or person is.
Potential energy
In this case we would need to know the exact mass of the hiker in order to calculate the potential energy.
But we know the values of g and h
So, the potential energy
m is the mass of the hiker, wich is not in the description of the problem.
(a) Let be the maximum linear speed with which the ball can move in a circle without breaking the cord. Its centripetal/radial acceleration has magnitude
where is the radius of the circle.
The tension in the cord is what makes the ball move in its plane. By Newton's second law, the maximum net force on it is
so that
Solve for :
(b) The net force equation in part (a) leads us to the relation
so that is directly proportional to the square root of
. As the radius
increases, the maximum linear speed
will also increase, so the cord is less likely to break if we keep up the same speed.
