Tarzan, mass 85-kg, swings down from a tree limb on the end of a 20 m vine. His feet touch the ground
4.0 m below the limb.
How fast is Tarzan moving when he reaches the ground?
a.
b. Does your answer depend on Tarzan's mass?
c.
Does your answer depend on the length of the vine?
4. A skier starts from rest at the top of a 45.0 m hill; skies down a 30.0° incline into a valley, and continues
up a 40 m hill. Both hill heights are measured from the valley floor. Assume you can neglect friction and
the effects of ski poles.
a. How fast is the skier moving at the bottom of the valley?
b. What is the skier's speed at the top of the next hill?
