Rank the following velocities according to the kinetic energy a particle will have with each velocity, greatest first: (a)
To rank:
The velocity according to the greatest kinetic energy at first.
Answer to Problem 1Q
Solution:
All velocities have the same kinetic energy.
Explanation of Solution
1) Concept:
To rank kinetic energy, we have to find first find the resultant velocity, and then use the formula for kinetic energy in which the mass is the same for all velocities. Therefore, kinetic energy is ranked only on the magnitude of velocity.
2) Formula:
i)
ii)
3) Given:
i)
ii)
iii)
iv)
v)
vi)
4) Calculation:
First find the resultant velocity as follows:
For
For
For
For
For
For
Now kinetic energy can be found by using the following formula:
Assume
So
As the resultant velocity
Conclusion:
Resultant velocity is found by using Pythagoras theorem; from where the kinetic energy could be calculated.

- Tarzan, in one tree, sights Jane in another tree. He grabs the end of a vine with length 20 m that makes an angle of 45° with the vertical, steps off his tree limb, and swings down and then up to Jane’s open arms. When he arrives, his vine makes an angle of 30° with the vertical. Determine whether he gives her a tender embrace or knocks her off her limb by calculating Tarzan’s speed just before he reaches Jane. Ignore air resistance and the mass of the vine.arrow_forwardA man on a motorcycle plans to make a jump as shown in the figure.
