Snakes on the ground Tarzan swings on a vine from a cliff to rescue Jane, who is standing on the ground surrounded by snakes. His plan is to push off the cliff, grab jane at the lowest point of his swing, and carry them both to the safety of a nearby tree (see figures). Tarzan's mass is 79 kg, Jane's mass is 41 kg, the height of the lowest limb of the target tree is 10.2 m, and Tarzan is initially standing on a cliff of height of 19.0 m. The length of the vine is 29 m. With what speed should Tarzan push off the cliff if he and Jane are to make it to the tree limb successfully? The gravitational acceleration is g=9.8 m/s². Express your answer in m/s.

James decides to use a ball tied to stiff rod to take out the Road Runner. He first needs to test this idea out on a small scale. A steel ball of mass 0.500 kg is fastened to a cord that is 70.0 cm long and fixed at the far end. The ball is then released when the cord is horizontal (see figure below). At the bottom of its path, the ball strikes a 2.50 kg steel block initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The collision is elastic. a) Find speed of the ball just before impact. b) Find the speed of the block just after impact.
FOR QUESTIONS 16-20 USE THE DIAGRAM BELOW 60 kg 80kg 10m A section of a roller coaster track assumed to be frictionless is shown with two roller coaster cars. The first car has a mass of 60.0 kg and starts from rest at a height of 10.0 m above ground level. The second roller coaster car has a mass of 80.0 kg and is at rest at the bottom of the track. The two cars collide and stick together to each other and together they travel up the track and reach a maximum height H c) What is the maximum height H they reach after the collision? Answer in meters.
A 3.3 × 104-kg space probe is traveling at a speed of 14000 m/s through deep space. Retrorockets are fired along the line of motion to reduce the probe's speed. The retrorockets generate a force of 1.6 × 104 N over a distance of 3700 km. What is the final speed of the probe? Number Units
An applied horizontal force of 100 N pushes against a shopping cart that is initially at rest. Assume this is the only force acting horizontally. Over what distance must this force act in order for the 40 kg shopping cart to reach a speed of 2.5 m/s?
Adolf and Ed are wearing harnesses and are hanging at rest from the ceiling by means of ropes attached to them. Face to face, they push off against one another. Adolf has a mass of 120 kg, and Ed has a mass of 89 kg. Following the push, Adolf swings upward to a height of 0.69 m above his starting point. To what height above his own starting point does Ed rise? Number i Units
Pretend you are standing on roller skates and toss a football. If the football has a mass of 0.3 kg and is traveling at 26 m/s, and you and your skates have a mass of 90 kilograms, what is your speed after you throw the ball? Assume no friction. A: 0.087 m/s B: 7.9 m/s C: 87 m/s D: 9.8 m/s
