Calculate the angle from the vertical at which a 84.0 kg man must begin to swing in order to have the same KE at the bottom as a 1440 kg car moving at 1.41 m/s (3.15 mph). The decrease in gravitational PE is converted into KE as the man falls. This decrease in gravitational PE depends on the change in height.arrow_forward

To accomplish this, you decide to do a series of arm raises holding a 5.5 kg weight in one hand. The distance from your elbow to the weight is 38 cm, and in each arm raise you start with your arm horizontal and pivot it until it is vertical. Assume that the weight of your arm is small enough compared with the weight you are lifting that you can ignore it. As is typical, your muscles are 20 % in converting the food energy they use up into mechanical energy, with the rest going into heat. If your dessert contained 350 food calories, how many arm raises must you do to work off these calories?arrow_forwardI feel like the hoop would reach the bottom faster because less energy is required to move it. is this correct? thank you!arrow_forward
