Tarzan, who weighs 722 N, swings from a cliff at the end of a convenient vine that is 21 m long (see the figure). From the top of the cliff to the bottom of the swing, he descends by 4.5 m. The vine will break if the force on it exceeds 1550 N. What would the greatest force on the vine be during the swing? Number i Units

Two blocks, A and B (with mass 50.0 kg and 1.00 102 kg, respectively), are connected by a string, as shown in Figure P5.86. The pulley is frictionless and of negligible mass. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block A and the incline is k = 0.250. Determine the change in the kinetic energy of block A as it moves from to , a distance of 20.0 m up the incline (and block B drops downward a distance of 20.0 m) if the system starts from rest. Figure P5.86
. A compact car can climb a hill in 10 s. The top of the hill is 30 in higher than the bottom, and the car’s mass is 1,000 kg. What is the power output of the car?
Assume that the force of a bow on an arrow behaves like the spring force. In aiming the arrow, an archer pulls the bow back 50 cm and holds it in position with a force of 150 N. If the mass of the arrow is 50 g and the “spring” is massless, what is the speed of the arrow immediately after it leaves the bow?
A 65.0-kg file cabinet of is sliding down a rough ramp for a distance of 5.00 m as shown. The friction force on the box is 75.0 N. The cabinet starts from rest. What is its speed at the end of the ramp, in m/s? Use g = 10.0 m/s?. Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement. 5.0 m
A child with mass m= 65kg is playing on a swing which has a length ofℓ= 3.3m. The rope can withstand a maximum tension of T= 3470N. a)Draw a free body diagram for the child on the swing. b)Write down Newton’s 2ndlaw for the child. c)What is the maximum speed the child can have at the bottom of their swing path?
An inventive child named Nick wants to reach an apple in a tree without climbing the tree. Sitting in a chair connected to a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley (see figure below), Nick pulls on the loose enc of the rope with such a force that the spring scale reads 310 N. Nick's true weight is 310 N, and the chair weighs 160 N. Nick's feet are not touching the ground. Use g=9.8 m/s². (b) Find Nick's acceleration, using upward as positive. m/s² (c) Find the magnitude of the force Nick exerts on the chair. (d*) Instead Nick hands the rope with the scale to his friend Barney, who stands on the ground. Barney pulls on the rope so that the spring scale again reads 310 N. What is Nick's acceleration now, again using upward as positive.
