    Ball Plane Time
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving physics problems related to projectile motion and tension in vines. For the ball kicked towards the fence, the average net force during the kick is calculated to be 200 Newtons, and it takes 2 seconds for the ball to reach the plane of the fence. The trajectory analysis is needed to determine if the ball will hit the fence or pass above it, depending on its vertical displacement. Additionally, the tension in vine B while the monkey is at rest is addressed, along with the monkey's speed at the lowest point of its swing and the tension in vine B during that moment. The thread emphasizes applying basic physics formulas to solve these problems effectively.

Thanks for any help in advance.
QUESTION 1
A ball of mass 0.5 kg, initially at rest, is kicked directly towards a fence from a point 32 meters away. The velocity of the ball as it leaves the kicker's foot is 20 meters per second at an angle of 37 degrees above the horizontal. The top of the fence is 2.5 meteres high. The kicker's foot is in contact with the ball for 0.05 second. The ball hits nothing while in flight and air resistance is negligible.

a) Determine the magnitude of the average net force exerted on the ball during the kick.

b) Determine the time it takes for the ball to reach the plane of the fence.

c) Will the ball hit the fence? If so, how far below the top of the fence will it hit? If not, how far above the top of the fence will it pass?

QUESTION 2
A 5.0 kg monkey hangs initially at rest from two vines A and B. Each of the vines has a length of 10 meters and negligible mass. Vine A is 30 degrees above horizontal then a 90 degree angle, and 60 degree of vine B.

a) Determine the tension in vine B while the monkey is at rest.

The monkey releases vine A and swings on vine B. Neglect air resistance.

b) Determine the speed of the monkey as it passes through the lowest point of its swing.

c) Determine the tension in vine B as the monkey passes through the lowest point of its first swing.

These are relatively straight-forward applications of the basic formulas connecting acceleration, velocity, and distance. Show us what you have done so far and where you are stuck.
 
I try my best to offer some assistance

part A is simply a problem dealing with impulse. We know that momentum=mass*velocity and that a change in mometum = impulse.


The momentum of this ball is (20 m/s) * 0.5 kg = 10 kg * m/s

Impulse = force * time

Ft = mv
Ft = 10
F(0.05) = 10
F = 200 Newtons

Part B)

time = distance/velocity

time = 32 m / horizontal velocity
time = 32 m / ((cos 37) * 20) m/s
time = 32 m / ((4/5) * 20) m/s
time = 2 seconds

c) d = vt + .5at^2

plug in your values for that, with a being -9.8 m/s^2 to get d
if d is greater than 2.5 m, then the ball has crossed the fence
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
