Tarzan jumps from a cliff and grabs a vine. He jumps horizontally from the cliff with initial velocity v0 at the time t0. The vine has mass M and length L. Initially, the vine is hanging straight down and is attached at its highest point, O. After the “collision” Tarzan remains attached to the vine with his center of mass at the lower edge of the vine. Tarzan’s mass is m. The vine behaves as a rod attached without friction to the point O. The moment of inertia of a rod around its center of mass is I = (1/12)ML2. You can neglect air resistance.
(a) Find Tarzan’s velocity immediately before the collision with the vine (at t1).
(b) What is the moment of inertia of the vine about the point O?
(c) Show that the angular velocity of the vine (with Tarzan) immediately after the collision is ω2 = m/((M/3) + m)(v0/L).
(d) How far up does Tarzan swing?
(e) How high would Tarzan swing if he jumped from twice the height?

2. (a)
A convex spherical surface of radius +50 mm separates air from
glass of refractive index 1.6. A parallel pencil of rays in air is
incident on this surface. Find where the refracted pencil comes to
a focus in the glass.
(b) Where must a point object be placed in air to make the
refracted pencil parallel?
(c) Repeat (a), assuming the incident pencil to be diverging from a
point in air 50 cm from the surface.
(d) Repeat (a), assuming the incident pencil to be converging to a
point inside the glass 50 mm from the surface.
(e) Repeat (a), assuming the incident pencil to be converging to a
point inside the glass 20 mm from the surface (Bennett, chapter 2,
question 4).
Can you please explain on sign convention in the answer?

A mass m = 17 kg is pulled along a horizontal floor, with a coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 0.06, for a distance d = 5.1 m. Then the mass is continued to be pulled up a frictionless incline that makes an angle θ = 28° with the horizontal. The entire time the massless rope used to pull the block is pulled parallel to the incline at an angle of θ = 28° (thus on the incline it is parallel to the surface) and has a tension T = 34 N.
a) What is the work done by tension before the block gets to the incline?
b) What is the work done by friction as the block slides on the flat horizontal surface?
c) What is the speed of the block right before it begins to travel up the incline?
d) How far up the incline does the block travel before coming to rest?
e) What is the work done by gravity as it comes to rest?

A Vogue writer is doing a study for her latest article to be titled “Brain or Brawn”. The writer found 10 volunteers of the same age and above average looks to observe how many times they are invited on a date in a month. The different qualities tested are intelligence (GPA) and weight. The results of 10 volunteers are as follows. Help In Vogue understands if there is a relationship in this data using Multiple Linear Regression. Be prepared to present your findings
