Tarzan, whose mass is 96 kg, is hanging at rest from a tree limb. Then he lets go and falls to the ground. Just before he lets go, his center of mass is at a height 2.1 m above the ground and the bottom of his dangling feet are at a height 1.3 above the ground. When he first hits the ground he has dropped a distance 1.3, so his center of mass is (2.1 - 1.3) above the ground. Then his knees bend and he ends up at rest in a crouched position with his center of mass a height 0.4 above the ground.

Consider the point particle system. What is the speed v at the instant just before Tarzan's feet touch the ground?

Standing side by side ,you and a friend step off a bridge at different times and fall for 1.6s to the water below.your friend goes first,and you follow after he has dropped a distance of 2.0m.when your friend hits the water,is the seperation between the two of you 2.0m or more than 2.0m? verify your answer with a calculation.

Clothing made of several thin layers of fabric with trapped air in between, often called ski clothing, is commonly used in cold climates because it is light, fashionable, and a very effective thermal insulator. so it is no surprise that such clothing has largely replaced thickand heavy old-fashioned coats. (a) consider a jacket made of five layers of 0.1-mm-thick synthetic fabric (k = 0.13 w/m·°c) with 1.5-mm-thick air space (k = 0.026 w/m·°c) between the layers. assuming the inner surface temperature of the jacket to be 28°c and the surface area to be 1.25 m2, determine the rate of heat loss through the jacket when the temperature of the outdoors is 0°c and the heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface is 25 w/m2·°c. (b) what would your response be if the jacket is made of a single layer of 0.5-mm-thick synthetic fabric? what should be the thickness of a wool fabric (k = 0.035 w/m·°c) if the person is to achieve the same level of thermal comfort wearing a thick wool coat instead of a five-layer ski jacket?
