Jane, whose mass is 50.0 kg, needs to swing across a river (having width D) filled with person-eating crocodiles to save Tarzan from danger. She must swing into a wind exerting constant horizontal force F, on a vine having length L and initially making an angle with the vertical (Fig. P7.81). Take D = 50.0 m, F = 110 N, L = 40.0 m, and = 50.0. (a) With what minimum speed must Jane begin her swing to just make it to the other side? (b) Once the rescue is complete, Tarzan and Jane must swing back across the river. With what minimum speed must they begin their swing? Assume Tarzan has a mass of 80.0 kg.

A ball is launched at an angle of 45° from a cliff above level ground below. When it is released,it is a distance H above the ground, and it has 6 J of gravitational potential energy and 4 J ofkinetic energy (all translational – don’t worry about rotational kinetic energy in this problem).The ground is defined to be where the gravitational potential energy is zero joules. Assume thereare no non-conservative forces acting while the ball follows a parabolic path through the air. 1) At all points along the path, the sum of the gravitational potential energy and thekinetic energy will be.... (answer is 10, explain how / why you get 10) 2) When the ball reaches its maximum height, what is its kinetic energy (answer: 2) ? and gravitational potential energy? (answer: 8 - how do I get 8). 3) At one point, the ball is H/2 above the ground. At that point, what is its Kinetic energy? (it's 7, but how do you get this answer), Gravitational Potential energy? (3 J - but how to get this)?

A 2.10 x 103 kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 5.00 m beforecoming into contact with the top of the beam, and it drives the beam 12.0 cm farther into the ground as it comesto rest. Using energy considerations, calculate the average force the beam exerts on the pile driver while the piledriver is brought to rest.
