An adventurous archeologist (m = 85.0 kg) tries to cross a river by swinging from a vine. The vine is 10.0 m long, and his speed at the bottom of the swing is 8.00 m/s. The archeologist doesn't know that the vine has a breaking strength of 1000 N. Does he make it across the river without falling in?

Peter propels a penguin with mass 10.0kg from 2.50m above the ground at an angle 30.0o from the horizontal axis (ground), with an initial speed of 15.0 m/s. Assuming the penguin remains rigid (scared, so assume the particle model!) and ignoring any rotational effects, What is the horizontal range of the penguin (where it lands on the ground)? a. 23.6 meters b. 24.1 meters c. 47.1 meters d. 19.9 meters e. 31.5 meters
In the figure, a body with a mass of 2 kg moves under the influence of two constant forces F1 = 5N and F2 = 4N in the xy plane. At time t = 0, the object is at point 0 and its speed is V = 2i + j (m / s). What is the acceleration of the particle and its position after 2 seconds in terms of the unit vector?
We place a 2.0 m long rod in a vertical position and let it fall. At what speed does the upper end of the rod fly against the horizontal floor, if its lower end doesnt move anywhere? (The solution is 7.7 m / s)
A pendulum consists of a small object called a bob hanging from a light cord of fixed length, with the top end of the cord fixed, as represented in Figure OQ5.6. The bob moves without friction, swinging equally high on both sides. It moves from its turning point A through point B and reaches its maximum speed at point C. (a) Of these points, is there a point where the bob has nonzero radial acceleration and zero tangential acceleration? If so, which point? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point? (b) Of these points, is there a point where the bob has nonzero tangential acceleration and zero radial acceleration? If so, which point? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point? (c) Is there a point where the bob has no acceleration? If so, which point? (d) Is there a point where the bob has both nonzero tangential and radial acceleration? If so, which point? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point? Figure OQ5.6
A makeshift sign hangs by a wire that is extended over an ideal pulley and is wrapped around a large potted plant on the roof as shown in Figure P6.10. When first set up by the shopkeeper on a sunny and dry day, the sign and the pot are in equilibrium. Is it possible that the sign falls to the ground during a rainstorm while still remaining connected to the pot? What would have to be true for that to be possible? FIGURE P6.10 Problems 10 and 11.
A 2.0 m long wooden stick weighing 9.0 kg is hung from the ceiling. 50 cm above the lower end hits a ball with a mass of 20 g at a speed of 400 m/s. By what angle does the stick deviate from the vertical axis? (The solution is 21°)
A chimpanzee is swinging through the jungle on a l = 24.2 m-long vine, as shown. If the chimpanzee is to reach a tree branch h2 = 22.8 m above the horizontal jungle floor, what minimum speed must he have at the point A in the diagram, where h1 = 11.8 m? Ignore air resistance
In the very Dutch sport of ducth-dude-on-a-pole, athletes run up to a long pole and then use it to vault across a canal. At the very top of his arc, a 70kg vaulter is moving at 3.5m/s and is 5.0m from the bottom end of the pole. What vertical force does the pole exert on the vaulter (in magnitude)?
In the figure, a 1.20 kg ball is connected by means of two massless strings, each of length L = 1.82 m, to a vertical, rotating rod. The strings are tied to the rod with separation d = 1.82 m and are taut. The tension in the upper string is 42.0 N. What are (a) the tension in the lower string, (b) the magnitude of the net force F→net on the ball, and (c) the speed of the ball?
