Chapter 7, Problem 7.12E
Tarzan and Jane. Tarzan, in one tree, sights Jane in another tree. He grabs the end of a vine with length 20 in 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.

Chris and Steve push a huge boulder (m = 65 kg) to the top of an 18 m cliff. The boulder is moving with a speed of 6.0 m/s when it tumbles over the edge of the cliff. How fast will it be going when it hits the ground? (no air resistance)
A woman at an airport is rolling her suitcase (mass = 20 kg) at an initial velocity of 1 m/s by pulling on a strap at an angle of 30° above the horizontal with a force of 33 N. The woman starts to speed up when she realizes that she is late for her flight. She pulls the suitcase over a distance of 50 m as she walks to her gate. What is the speed of the suitcase when she reaches her gate? (You can neglect friction in this problem. Give your answer in m/s.)
A 0.4 kg ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 15 m/s as it leaves the throwers hand. During its motion, a 50 N air friction acts on the ball. How high will the ball go?

- A monkey escapes from a zoo and climbs a tree to a height h = 4.00 m. Since she is unable to attract him, the caretaker aims her rifle with a sedative dart directly at the monkey and fires the dart with a speed of vd = 20.00 m/s (see figure). The cunning monkey is released the instant the dart leaves the barrel of the rifle, trying to fall to the ground and escape The caretaker is at d = 10.0 m from the base of the tree. Find the height of the monkey when the sedative dart penetrates the monkey's skin.arrow_forwardA dog with a mass of 57.0 kg slides down a wet slope with negligible friction.

- An archer shoots an 18.0-gram arrow at a 43.0-gram target on a wall 32.0 m high. If the arrow is shot at a velocity of v0 = 60.0 m/s, the speed of the arrow is 54.5 m/s when it reaches the target. If the arrow becomes embedded in the target and they both fly off the wall together, at what speed will they leave the wall? Should I use 60.0 m/s in the equation or 54.5 m/s: V’=(0.018)(60.0m/s)/ (0.061) -or- V’=(0.018)(54.5m/s)/ (0.061)arrow_forwardI need help with this physics question #arrow_forwardCarol wants to move her 32kg sofa to a different room in the house.

- Three identical rocks are thrown from the top of a building. Rock # 1 is thrown horizontally with a speed of 12 m/s. Rock #2 is thrown straight upward with a speed of 12 m/s. Rock #3 is thrown straight downward with a speed of 12 m/s. There is no air resistance and none of the rocks come into contact with anything before they hit the ground at the base of the building. Compare the rocks' speeds just before they strike the ground at the base of the building by ranking them from fastest to slowest. O Rock #1, Rock #3, Rock #2 O Rock #3, Rock #2, Rock #1 O Rocks #1 and #2 have the same final speed and #3 is slowest. O Rock #2 is the fastest while Rocks #1 and #3 are tied for slowest.
