Answer:
= 7.07 m
Explanation:
The Tarzan reaches bottom of swing after descending 2.5 m,
change in his potential energy equals his kinetic energy at bottom of swing
m g h = (1/2) m v² ,
hence speed v of Tarzan at bottom of swing is given as
v = ( 2 g h )1/2
= ( 2 × 9.8 × 2.5 )1/2
= 7 m/s
At the bottom of swing, if the vine breaks, then he is moving with horizontal velocity 7 m/s in gravitational field.
If vertical distance from ground to bottom of swing is 5 m, then time t for Tarzan to reach ground is given by
S = (1/2)g t2 or t = (2S/g)1/2
= ( 2 × 5 / 9.8 )1/2
= 1.01 s
Horizontal distance traveled by Tarzan = 1.01 × 7
= 7.07 m
Answer:
Explanation:
Since <em>light is so fast</em> we can assume no time passes between the lightning strikes and we observe it. We want to know then how far away did the strike occur for the sound to take 16s to reach our ears. Since the definition of velocity tells us that 
, we can write 
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Balanced forces result in a net force of 0N. This means no direction or acceleration change will be applied to the object. A torque may be applied, but with no other external forces, the object will not move.
Answer:
Because they are both easy to measure (?)
Explanation:
(I'm not really sure, there are no choices. If there were different options I might be able to better answer this)
