Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 75PQ
Two children, with masses m1 = 35.0 kg and m2 = 43.0 kg, are swinging on a tire swing attached to a tree overhanging a pond. The mass of the tire is negligible. At the lowest point of the swinging motion, the tension in each of the three vertical 4.00-m-long chains supporting the swing is 275 N. a. What is the speed of the children at the lowest point of the swinging motion? b. What is the force exerted on each child by the tire at the lowest point of the swinging motion?

a. What is the stunt performer's speed (in m/s) at the bottom of the swing if she starts from rest?
b. What is the stunt performer's speed (in m/s) at the bottom of the swing if instead she pushes off with a speed of 6.00 m/s?
A 0.350 kg potato is tied to a string with length 2.80 m, and the other end of the string is tied to a rigid support. The potato is held straight out horizontally from the point of support, with the string pulled taut, and is then released. What is the speed of the potato at the lowest point of its motion? Take free fall acceleration to be 9.80 m/s2.
