Question
Tarzan plans to cross a gorge by swinging in an arc from a hanging vine. If his arms are capable of exerting a force of 1350 N on the rope, what is the maximum speed he can tolerate at the lowest point of his swing? His mass is 78 kg and the vine is 5.2 m long.

- A bowling ball is attached to a 3.73-meter long cable and hung from the ceiling. The cable is kept taut and the ball is raised to an initial height of 1.73 meters above the classroom floor. It is released from rest and allowed to swing as a pendulum. Determine its speed (in m/s) when it is at a height of 1.19 meters above the floor. Answer: m/s (round to the nearest hundredth)arrow_forwardA 356 g block is dropped onto a relaxed vertical spring that has a spring constant of k 1.7 N/cm. The block becomes attached to the spring and compresses the spring 12.6 cm before momentarily stopping. What is the speed of the block just before it hits the spring (assume that friction is negligible)? (Your result must be in m/s and include 1 digit after the decimal point. Maximum of 5% of error is accepted in your answer. Take g-9.8 m/s?.)arrow_forwardA toy rocket with a mass of 321 grams is launched into the air using a spring.

- 2. Tarzan, whose weight is W = 688 N, swings from a vine of length L = 18 m. He starts his swing from rest at the edge of a cliff that is h = 3.2 m above the bottom of his trajectory. The vine will break if its tension exceeds T 900 N. W (a) Does the vine break? If the vine does not break, what is the greatest (b) tension in the vine? If the vine breaks, at what angle with respect to the vertical will it break?arrow_forwardAssume that the force of a bow on an arrow behaves like the spring force. In aiming the arrow, an archer pulls the bow back 48 cm and holds it in position with a force of 163 N.

- The tension in each rope of a swing at the lowest point is 412 N when a 36.0-kg girl is swinging. The two ropes are each 3.06 m long. What is the girl's speed at the lowest point?arrow_forwardA pendulum consists of a small object hanging from the ceiling at the end of a string of negligible mass. The string has a length of 0.79 m. With the string hanging vertically, the object is given an initial velocity of 2.8 m/s parallel to the ground and swings upward in a circular arc. Eventually, the object comes to a momentary halt at a point where the string makes an angle with its initial vertical orientation and then swings back downward. Find the angle 0. Number i Unitsarrow_forwardConsider the track shown in the figure below. Section AB is a quadrant of a circle of radius r = 2.00 m and is frictionless. From B to C is a horizontal section 3.0 m long with a coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 0.250. The section CD under the spring is frictionless. A block of mass m = 1.00 kg is released from rest at A. After sliding on the track, the block compresses 0.200 m the spring. Determine (using conservation of energy): (a) the speed of the block at point B. (b) the thermal energy (internal energy) produced when the block slips from B to C. (c) the velocity of the block at point C. (d) the stiffness constant k for the spring.arrow_forward
