A 56-kg student runs at 6.4m/s, grabs a hanging 10.0-m-long rope, and swings out over a lake (Figure 1) . He releases the rope when his velocity is zero.
What is the angle ?
when he releases the rope?
According to law of conservation of energy, equate PE and KE.
PE = KE
mgh = 1/2 m v^2
gh = v^2 / 2
h = v^2 / 2g
= 6.4^2 / ( 2 * 9.8 )
= 2.1 m
Determination of the angle:
Theta = cos^-1 [ (L-h) / L)
= cos^-1 [ ( 10 - 2.1 ) / 10 ]
= 37.8 degrees

A 56-kg student runs at 6.4 m/s , grabs a hanging 10.0-m-long rope, and swings out over a lake. He releases the rope when his velocity is zero. What is the angle θ when he releases the rope? What is the tension in the rope just before he releases it? What is the maximum tension in the rope during the swing?
A 32.9-kg child swings on a rope with a length of 6.11 m that is hanging from a tree. At the bottom of the swing, the child is moving at a speed of 4.2 m/s. What is the tension in the rope?
A 10.0 kg ball is attached to a massless rope that is 1.30 m long. The rope is pushed to 45 degrees from the vertical and released from rest. Ignore the rotation of the ball as the rope swings, and this does not appreciably affect the dymanics. What is the potential energy of the ball with reference to its lowest position? B) How fast will the ball be moving at the bottom of the swing? and B) How long does...
Logan is standing on a dock holding onto a rope swing that is ?=4.30 m long and suspended from a tree branch above. The rope is taut and makes a 30.0° angle with the vertical. Logan swings in a circular arc, passing through the bottom of the arc then releasing the rope when it makes an angle of ?=13.1° with the perpendicular. If Logan's mass is 71.0 kg , how much work ?grav does gravity do on him up to...

A mischievous Padua student is standing next to the school building when he grabs his girlfriend's purse and throws it up onto the roof. He throws the purse with an initial upward velocity of 16.5 m/s. The roof is 11.0 m high. How long was the purse in flight?
A hanging weight, with a mass of me = 0.350 kg, is attached by a rope to a block with mass m2 = 0.820 kg as shown in the figure below. The rope goes over a pulley with a mass of M = 0.350 kg. The pulley can be modeled as a hollow cylinder with an inner radius of R2 = 0.0200 m, and an outer radius of R2 = 0.0300 m; the mass of the spokes is negligible. As...
A hanging weight, with a mass of m1 = 0.365 kg, is attached by a rope to a block with mass m2 = 0.825 kg as shown in the figure below. The rope goes over a pulley with a mass of M = 0.350 kg. The pulley can be modeled as a hollow cylinder with an inner radius of R1 = 0.0200 m, and an outer radius of R2 = 0.0300 m; the mass of the spokes is negligible. As...
Tarzan with a mass of 56.2 kg stands atop a branch in the African rain forest. He grabs this 28.7 m long vine and swings out. Initially the vine made an angle of 33.0° to the vertical. a.) What is the difference in height from where he starts to the bottom of his swing? b.) How fast will he be traveling when he reaches the bottom of his swing?
3. Tarzan (80 kg) jumps out of a tree at 1.4 m/s and grabs the end of a 32 m vine suspended suspiciously horizontal 36 m above the forest floor. What will be his speed at the bottom of his swing 4 m above the ground.? (Think pendulum)
