- Ezra (m = 25.0 kg) has a tire swing and wants to swing as high as possible. He thinks that his best option is to run as fast as he can and jump onto the tire at full speed. The tire has a mass of 10.0 kg and hangs 3.75 m straight down from a tree branch. Ezra stands back 10.0 m and accelerates to a speed of 3.50 m /s before jumping onto the tire swing. a.

GAJMO Nermalloy has been instructed to deliver the supply spacecraft with a kinetic energy less than 10¹0 J (where 1 J = 1 N·m). GAJMO Nermalloy knows that the change in kinetic energy of an object moving in one dimension is equal to the net work performed on it, where net work is the integral of the component of net force in the direction of motion with respect to the position of the of the object. That is: KE2 – KE₁ = 7² F(x) dx. x 1 The net force exerted by the tractor beam is supposed to be constant, Fo −3.5 × 106 N, but due to improper maintenance of the Jadarian-Ruby, the actual force exerted by the tractor beam as a function of position is given by F(x) = ax³ + ß,…arrow_forward
