A child is swinging back and forth on a tire swing that is attached to a tree branch by a single rope. Shown are two positions during a swing from right to left. Three students are discussing the tension in the rope at the bottom of the swing.
Alia:
“At the bottom of the swing, she will be moving exactly horizontally. Since she is not moving vertically at that instant, the vertical forces cancel. The tension in the rope at that instant equals the weight.”
Brian:
“Just looking at the velocity vectors, the change in velocity points upward between A and B. So that is the direction of the acceleration, and also of the net force. To get a net force pointing upward, the tension would have to be greater than the weight.”
Clara: “But there aren’t just two forces acting on her at the bottom of the swing. Since she’s moving in a circle, there’s also the centripetal force, which acts toward the center of the circle. Since both the tension and the centripetal force point upward, and the weight points downward, to get zero net force the tension actually has to be less than the weight. The tension plus the centripetal force equals the weight.”
With which, if any, of these students do you agree?

A23 kg log of wood begins from rest, 300 m up a sluice (a water track used to transport logs, think of it as an inclined plane with negligible friction) inclined at 20° to the horizontal. after it reaches the flat waterway at the bottom it collides elastically with a 100 kg block of wood initially at rest near the base of the incline. (a) how long does it take the 23 kg log to travel down the incline? (b) what is the speed of the 23 kg log at the bottom of the incline? (c) what are the velocities of both blocks of wood after the collision? (d) what is the total kinetic energy before the collision? (e) what is the kinetic energy of the 23 kg log after the collision? (f) what is the kinetic energy of the 100 kg block of wood after the collision? (g) what is the total kinetic energy after the collision? (h) compare the total initial and total final kinetic energies. is this consistent with what you would expect for elastic collisions? explain!

Mutt and jeff are running along a path each pushing a cart loaded with rocks. if mutt's wagon has a mass two times greater than jeff's and they want to stay together, arriving at their destination at the same time, what must happen? a) jeff should slow down so mutt can catch up. b) mutt must use half as much force to push his cart. c) mutt must use twice as much force to push his cart. d) mutt and jeff will use the same force, but mutt will take bigger steps.
