- A 56-kg student runs at 4.2 m/s, grabs a hanging 10.0-m-long rope, and swings out over a lake (Figure 1). He releases the rope when his velocity is zero. a.)What is the angle θ when he releases the rope? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. b.)What is the tension in the rope just before he releases it? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. c.)What is the maximum tension in the rope during the swing? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.arrow_forwardTwo Blocks having mass m=11.0 kg are connected by a light string passing through two pulleys as shown. The block on the left is resting on an inclined plane of angle 0=45.0° . The pulleys and the planes on which the blocks are resting are frictionless. The blocks are released from rest and allowed to move freely. a. Draw the free body diamgrams for each block and then write down newton's second law of motion for each one separately. b. Find the acceleration of the blocks and the tension in the string.arrow_forwardA 25.0 kg girl stands on a large raft that is 5.00 m and free to move across the river. The girls walks to the left side of the raft in 3.00 s. A. Her displacement relative to the water is 3.75 m. What is the mass of the raft? B. Assuming that she started from rest, and accelerates at a constant rate, what is her velocity relative to the water as she jumps from the raft? C. What is the force that she applied to the raft as she moved across the raft?arrow_forward
- A hula hoop is released from rest at the top of a playground slide. In going down the slide, the center of mass of the hula hoop moves down 3.82 meters. a. If the slide were frictionless and the hula hoop did not roll, how fast would the hula hoop be going at the bottom of the slide? Include units in your answer. b. In reality, the hula hoop rolls. How fast is the hula hoop (the center of mass of the hula hoop) going at the bottom of the slide? Include units in your answer. PLEASE RESPOND IN HANDWRITINGarrow_forward2. You pull with a force of 255 N on a rope that is attached to a block of mass 30 kg, and the block slides across the floor at a constant speed of 1.1 m/s. The rope makes an angle of 0 = 40° with the horizontal. Both the force and the velocity of the block are in the xy plane. The block moves only along the direction parallel to the floor. See the figure for a diagram of this situation. a. What is the net force on the block? Explain your b. c. reasoning. Is there friction between the block and the floor? How do you know? Rope 40° 15₂ Draw a Free Body Diagram for the block. Find the magnitude and direction of each force, and express them as vectors.arrow_forwardA. Statements a and b are both true. C. Statement a is true, the latter being false. B. Statements a and b are both false. D. Statement a is false, the latter being true. 1. a. In the Theorem of Pappus, the center of mass is always locatedinside the region or area of the figure. b. In addition, the center of mass is always equal to the geometric centroid. a. For springs obeying Hooke's Law, the work required to compress the material by dx distance is always less than the requirement to stretch it by the same dx distance. b. The spring constant is dependent on the amount of force required to stretch it by somex distance. 2. a. As two objects move farther away from each other, the forceof attraction between them decreases. b. Thus, if the force of attraction decreases with distance, the workshall decrease as well. 3. a. For a positively charged q, and negatively charged q2, the force will always be positive regardless of the signs. b. Thus, in calculus, the signs of the charges do not…arrow_forward
- Consider a setup with a horizontal table, two masses, a string, and a massless, frictionless pulley. Assume the masses are m1=1.8 kg and m2= 1.2kg. Also, assume that uk=0.20 and us=0.30. The masses are released from rest. a. I claim that there is a sufficient net force to get the system sliding. Do a calculation to show that I am right. Include some written explanation to justify your calculation. b. If m2 starts from rest at 0.50 m above the ground, how long does it take to hit the ground?arrow_forwardon an unknown planet, a 145 g baseball is hit so that it travels straight upward to reach a maximum height of 15.6 m after being struck by the bat.

Air resistance can be neglected.a. What is the tension in the rope while the blocks are falling, before either hits the ground?b.
