Tarzan has foolishly gotten himself into another scrape with the animals and must be rescued once again by Jane. The 60.0 kg Jane starts from rest at a height of 5.50 m in the trees and swings down to the ground using a thin, but very rigid, 32.0 kg vine 8.50 m long. She arrives just in time to snatch the 72.0 kg Tarzan from the jaws of an angry hippopotamus. What is Jane's (and the vine's) angular speedHow high will Tarzan and Jane go on their first swing after this daring rescue?

The pre-2000’s-style television sets were based on cathode ray tube (CRT) technology. A CRT is a vacuum tube that operates by heating an internal metal filament (the cathode) to a high temperature so that electrons are ejected from its surface. These electrons are then accelerated through a large voltage towards the positively charged anode before striking a phosphor-coated screen to produce visible light. Assume that the electrons start from rest and are accelerated across a voltage difference of 1000~V1000 V. Calculate the speed of the electron when it strikes the phosphor-coated screen.

A block of mass 0.5 kg is pushed against a horizontal spring of negligible mass, compressing the spring a distance of Δx as shown in Figure 5. The spring constant is 450 N/m. When released the block travels along a frictionless horizontal surface to point B, the bottom of a vertical circular track of radius R = 1 m and continues to move up the track. The circular track is not smooth. The speed of the block at the bottom of the vertical circular track is vB = 12 m/s, and the block experiences an average frictional force of 7.0 N while sliding up the curved track.
What was the initial compression of the spring?
What is the speed of the block at the top of the circular track?
Does the block reach the top of the track, or does it fall off before reaching the top?

Suppose two highly precise, identical clocks are synchronized and one clock is placed at the North Pole and one clock is placed at the equator. After 100 years, how much will the clocks differ in time? You can assume Earth is a perfect sphere of radius 6.37 x 106 m and makes one revolution in exactly 24 hours.
(You will have to use a spreadsheet program that holds a lot of decimal places rather than your calculator to find your answer.)

a 2.34-kg cart on a long, level, low friction track is heading for a small electric fan at 0.21 m/s. The fan which was initially off, is turned on. As the fan speeds up, the magnitude of the force it exerts on the cart is given by at^2, where a=0.0200 N/s^2
A. What is the speed of the cart 3.5 s after the fan is turned on? (first i got 0.4958 m/s but was wrong)
B. After how many seconds is the cart's velocity zero
