Question: Tarzan swings back and forth on a vine. At the microscopic level, why is the tension force on Tarzan by the vine greater than it would be if he were hanging motionless?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

As the vine stretches more, that pulls up more Tarzan.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of the motionless situation

At motionless the speed is constant, so the rate change of the magnitude of the momentum is zero.

Someone or something that does not move is said to be motionless. The thing has the potential to remain still for hours at a time, much like a statue.

02

Analysis of the forces on Tarzan

For changing the direction of the momentum, additional force is required. If Tarzan's momentum is invariant, no net amount of force would be needed.

However, an upward net force is required to shift Tarzan's motion from horizontal to upward.

Extra strain on the vine is required to change Tarzan's momentum's direction.

Therefore, the vine stretches more, pulling up more on Tarzan.

In the dark in outer space, you observe a glowing ball of known mass 2kgmoving in the xyplane at constant speed in a circle of radius, 6.5 m with the centre of the circle at the origin(0,0,0m). You can't see what's making it move in a circle. At time t=0 the ball is at location(-6,5,0,0)mand has velocity(0,40,0)m/s.

On your own paper draw a diagram of the situation showing. the circle and showing the position and velocity of the ball at time r=0. The diagram will help you analyse the situation. Use letters a-j figure 5.75) to answer questions about directions ( +xto the right, +yup).

(a) What is the direction of the vectorp鈬赌?

(b) What are the magnitude and direction localid="1656743973413" (d|p鈬赌|dt)蚁ofthe parallel component ofdp鈬赌/dt?

(c) What are the magnitude and direction oflocalid="1656744314609" |p鈬赌|dp鈬赌/dt, the perpendicular component ofdp鈬赌/dt?

(d) Even though you can't see what's causing the motion, what can you conclude must be the direction of the vectorF鈬赌net?

(e) Even though you can't see what's causing the motion, what can you conclude must be the vectorF鈬赌net?

(f) You learn that at time, two forces act on the ball, and that at this instant one of these forces isF鈬赌1={196,-369,0}N. What is the other force?

A ball of mass 450 g hangs from a spring whose stiffness is 110N/m. A string is attached to the ball and you are pulling the string to the right, so that the ball hangs motionless, as shown in Figure. In this situation the spring is stretched, and its length is15 cm. What would be the relaxed length of the spring, if it were detached from the ball and laid on a table?

A child of mass 26kg swings at the end of an elastic cord. At the bottom of the swing, the child's velocity is horizontal, and the speed is 12m/sAt this instant the cord is 4.30mlong.

(a) At this instant, what is the parallel component of the rate of change of the child's momentum?

(b) At this instant, what is the perpendicular component of the rate of change of the child's momentum?

(c) At this instant, what is the net force acting on the child?

(d) What is the magnitude of the force that the elastic cord exerts on the child? (It helps to draw a diagram of the forces.)

(e) The relaxed length of the elastic cord is 4.22m. What is the stiffness of the cord?

The planets in our Solar System have orbits around the Sun that are nearly circular, and v<<c.Calculate the period T(a year-the time required to go around the Sun once) for a planet whose orbit radius is r. This is the relationship discovered by Kepler and explained by Newton. (It can be shown by advanced techniques that this result also applies to elliptical orbits if you replaceby the semi major axis, which is half the longer, major axis of the ellipse.) Use this analytical solution for circular motion to predict the Earth's orbital speed, using the data for Sun and Earth on the inside back cover of the textbook.

An800kgload is suspended as shown in Figure 5.69. (a) Calculate the tension in all three wires (that is, the magnitude of the tension force exerted by each of these wires). (b) These wires are made of a material whose value for Young鈥檚 modulus is 1.3脳1011N/m2. The diameter of the wires is 1.1m. What is the strain (fractional stretch) in each wire?
