Hello,
Please help with the following question:
A panda wants to swing on a vine like tarzan, creating a simple panda-lum. Unfortunately, the vine is too weak to handle the tension created by the panda.
The panda starts at a point with the vine outstretched horizontally to its fulllength l and that makes a 90 degree angle with the vertical. If the panda has a mass m and the max tension in the rope is T , show that the speed of tha panda when the vine breaks is:
v = Square Root of 2lT/3m

- a baseball outfielder throws a baseball of mass 0.15 kg at a speed of 40 m/s and an initial angle of 30 degrees. What is the kinetic energy of the baseball at the highest point of the trajectory? Ignore air friction.arrow_forwardTarzan grabs a vine of length L=8.9 m and attempts to swing across the crocodile infested river. The vine breaks just as Tarzan is at lowest point of his swing, a horizontal distance D=60 m and H= 4.5 m above the riverbank. You barely mix it across, landing on the edge of the riverbank. The tension in the vine when it broke was a 1000 N. Find Tarzan's mass.arrow_forwardI have tried this problem several times how do I do it correctly?arrow_forward
- A gymnast is swinging on a high bar. The distance between his waist and the bar is 1.28 m, as the drawing shows. At the top of the swing his speed is momentarily zero. Ignoring friction and treating the gymnast as if all of his mass is located at his waist, find his speed at the bottom of the swing.arrow_forward(a) A stuntman with a mass of 81.5 kg swings across a pool of water from a rope that is 11.0 m. At the bottom of the swing the stuntman's speed is 7.90 m/s. The rope's breaking strength is 1,000 N. Will the stuntman make it across the pool without falling in? O Yes O No (b) What If? What is the maximum speed (in m/s) that the stuntman can have at the bottom of the swing on this vine to safely swing across the river? m/sarrow_forwardA 5.60-kg block is set into motion up an inclined plane with an initial speed of v¡ = 7.60 m/s (see figure below). %3D The block comes to rest after traveling d = 3.00 m along the plane, which is inclined at an angle of 0 = 30.0° to the %3D horizontal. (a) For this motion, determine the change in the block's kinetic energy. We know an initial speed and a final speed. Are the other pieces of information relevant to this question? J (b) For this motion, determine the change in potential energy of the block-Earth system. 82.3 J (c) Determine the friction force exerted on the block (assumed to be constant). You appear to have correctly calculated the force using your incorrect results from parts (a) and (b). N (d) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction?
