** A Tarzan swing Tarzan (mass 80 kg) swings at the end of an 8.0-m-long vine (Figure P5.55). When directly under the vine's support, he releases the vine and flies across a swamp. When he releases the vine, he is 5.0 m above the swamp and 10.0 m horizontally from the other side. Determine the force the vine exerts on him at the instant before he lets go (the vine is straight down when he lets go).

- Review. The gravitational force exerted on a baseball is Fgj. A pitcher throws the ball with velocity vi by uniformly accelerating it along a straight horizontal line for a time interval of t = t 0 = t. (a) Starting from rest, through what distance does the hall move before its release? (b) What force does the pitcher exert on the hall?arrow_forwardThe shower curtain rod in Figure P6.7 is called a tension rod. The rod is not attached to the wall with screws, nails, or glue, but is pressed into the wall instead. Explain why the rod remains at rest, supporting the curtain. Explain why the name is misleading and come up with a better name. FIGURE P6.7arrow_forwardReview. A force platform is a tool used to analyze the performance of athletes by measuring the vertical force the athlete exerts on the ground as a function of time. Starting from rest, a 65.0-kg athlete jumps down onto the platform from a height of 0.600 m. While she is in contact with the platform during the time interval 0t 0.800 s, the force she exerts on it is described by the function F = 9 200t 11 500 t2 where F is in newtons and t is in seconds. (a) What impulse did the athlete receive from the platform? (b) With what speed did she reach the platform? (c) With what speed did she leave it? (d) To what height did she jump upon leaving the platform?arrow_forward
- A 3.0kg cannon ball is shot from a cannon at a speed of 20m/s. The cannon is oriented 50 degrees above the horizontal and the cannon’s barrel is 8.0m above the ground. Youwant to position a mat that will catch the cannon ball.a. Determine how much time the cannon ball will spend in flight.b. Draw a force diagram for three points during the cannon ball’s flight (1) while itis being shot from the cannon, (2) when it is at its maximum height, and (3) whenit is half-way between the maximum height and the mat.c. Determine the horizontal distance from the end of the barrel where you shouldplace the mat so that it will catch the ball.d. How fast is the cannon ball moving just before it hits the mat?arrow_forward9b. Consider the motion of a ball thrown vertically upward. Use a vertical y-axis with the positive direction pointing up. Ignore the air resistance. Draw a force diagram for the ball on its way up. Draw the vectors starting at the black dot. The location and orientation of the vectors will be graded. The length of the vectors will not be graded.arrow_forwardA teacher wants to rearrange his classroom by moving his desk (90 kg) out of position. The teacher pulls the desk with a constant force of 114 N at an angle θ with respect to the horizontal over a distance of 5.0 m. If the desk starts from rest and reaches a speed of 3.0 m/s.

The students release a ball at the top of the inclined plane and measure the time for the ball to reach the bottom of the ramp. The students perform three trials. The students then cover the board with a cloth and follow the same procedure as before. The data are graphed below. Part A Describe two forces acting on the ball during the investigation. Part B Explain why the ball takes more time to roll down the ramp with a cloth surface. Part C Explain why the students repeated the investigation three times. Part D Explain how the ball's energy changes as the ball moves down the ramp.arrow_forwardPRINTER VERSION 1 BACK NEXT Chapter 07, Problem 038 Z Your answer is partially correct. Try again. A 1.7 kg block is initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface when a horizontal force in the positive direction of an x axis is applied to the block. The force is given by F (x) = (3.1 -x )i N, where x is in meters and the initial position of the block is x = 0. (a) What is the kinetic energy of the block as it passes through x = 2.6 m?
