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 does not know that the vine has a breaking strength of 1,000 N. Does he make it across the river without falling in?

- For some reason, a dart gun (mass = 1.50 kg) is hanging from a very long string attached to the ceiling. The dart gun holds one dart (mass = 0.3500 kg). A remote control activates the gun, and the dart is shot outwards, completely horizontally with a speed of 20.0 m/s. What is the maximum height to which the gun will swing after the dart is shot?arrow_forwardA small block slides down a frictionless track whose shape is described by y = (x^2) /d for x<0 and by y = -(x^2)/d for x>0.The value of d is d = 4.72 m. The block starts at x = 0, and is given a push to the left with an initial speed of 5.37 m/s, so it starts sliding up the track to the left. At what value of x will the block reverse direction and start sliding back down? -1.47 m -2.63 m 2.63 m 1.47 marrow_forwardA 670 N student stands in the middle of a frozen pond having a radius of 6.9 m. He is unable to get to the other side because of a lack of friction between his shoes and the ice. To overcome this difficulty, he throws his 2.9 kg physics textbook horizontally toward the north shore at a speed of 6.9 m/s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s². How long does it take him to reach the south shore? Answer in units of s.arrow_forward
