An online video daredevil is filming a scene where he swings across a river on a vine. The safety crew must use a vine with enough strength so that it doesn't break while swinging. The daredevil's mass is 90.0 kg, the vine is 11.5 m long, and the speed of the daredevil at the bottom of the swing has been determined to be 9.00 m/s. What is the minimum tension force (in N) the vine must be able to support without breaking?

The distance between the ropes at the top of the swing is less than the distance between the ropes at the bottom, so that the ropes hang 14.01° from the vertical (see the picture). If the tension in each rope is 2.4 N, what is the weight of the swing?arrow_forward
- A heavy ball with a weight of 150 N (m = 15.3 kg) is hung from the ceiling of a lecture hall on a 4.6-m-long rope. The ball is pulled to one side and released to swing as a pendulum, reaching a speed of 5.6 m/s as it passes through the lowest point.

Beginning at time t = 0, when the bead passes through x = 0 with speed 12.0 m/s, a constant force acts on the bead. The figure indicates the bead's position at times t0 = 0.00 s, t1 = 1.00 s, t2 = 2.00 s, and t3 = 3.00 s. The bead momentarily stops at t = 3.00 s.

With its engine off, it lands on the runway at a speed of 40m⋅s-1 . A hook on the plane snags a cable attached to a 120kg sandbag and drags the sandbag along. If the coefficient of friction between the sandbag and the runway is µk = 0.4, and if the plane’s brakes give an additional retarding force of magnitude 1400N, how far does the plane go before it comes to a stop?arrow_forward
