A 42.477 km child swings on a playground swing. If the swing hangs down 2.814 meters from the top bar, and the child swings out 20.88 degrees, what is the change in potential energy of the child?
At 20.88º the swing seat is a vertical distance L below the top
bar
Cos20.88 = L/2.814 =====> L = 2.814*cos20.88 =====> L = 2.63
m
At 20.88º the seat is (2.814 - L) m vertically above it's rest
position = 0.184 m
The child's height above ground = 0.184 m
Gain in PE = mg ∆h = 42.477 x 9.8 x 0.184 ======> ∆PE
= 76.6 J

A child with a weight of 170 N swings on a playground swing attached to 2.00 m long chains. What is the gravitational potential energy (in J) of the child-earth system relative to the child's lowest position at the following times? (a) when the chains are horizontal ________ J (b) when the chains make an angle of 32.0° with respect to the vertical ________ J (c) when the child is at his lowest position ________ J
A child with a weight of 200 N swings on a playground swing attached to 2.00-m-long chains. What is the gravitational potential energy of the child- Earth system relative to the child's lowest position at the following times? (a) when the chains are horizontal j (b) when the chains make an angle of 30.0° with respect to the vertical J (c) when the child is at his lowest position A pendulum bob with a mass of 0.370 kg is attached...
A child swings on a playground swing attached to chains 6.00 m long. Assume the center of mass to be at the position of the seat. Calculate the period of the swing for small-amplitude oscillations
A 20 kg child is on a swing that hangs from 2.2-m-long chains. Part A What is her maximum speed if she swings out to a 49° angle? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. v=Value
A 20.0 kg child plays on a swing having support ropes that are 2.30 m long. A friend pulls her back until the ropes are 39.0 degrees from the vertical and releases her from rest. What is the potential energy for the child just as she is released, compared with the potential energy at the bottom of the swing? How fast will she be moving at the bottom of the swing? How much work does the tension in the ropes...
A 20 kg child is on a swing that hangs from 2.0-m-long chains. You may want to review (Pages 234 - 238) . What is her maximum speed if she swings out to a 42 ∘ angle? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
At the local playground, a child on a swing has a speed of 2.12 m/s when the swing is at its lowest point. Part A: To what maximum vertical height does the child rise, assuming he sits still and "coasts"? Ignore air resistance. Part B: How do your results change if the initial speed of the child is halved?
