Can you swing from a whip

I am assuming the 12 ft distance doesn't depend on the length of the cable. I'm, not just going to give you a silly diagram and then leave you alone. Nope, I am going to give you even more help. Check this out. That is a numerical model of a swinging wrecking ball.

Here is the code in GlowScript so that you can run it yourself and change things around. Hint - you might need this for later homework questions. How much would Homer Simpson change the collision between the wrecking ball and the house? Suppose that Homer is sort of like a spring and the he can compress from 0.

If he acts like a spring, what will this do to forces exerted on the house? What if the temple run used slow darts? How fast would Indy have to run to avoid getting hit? Make some assumptions about the dimensions of the temple in Raiders of the Lost Ark or use the estimates from the MythBusters show. Suppose the darts are super fast speed of light.

How long of a delay time between setting off and firing would you need to be able to walk out of the temple? View Iframe URL. How wide is the chasm in the temple run? In the Raiders episode, the MythBusters estimated the width of the chasm by seeing how far Adam could jump. See if you can get an estimate of the width from this clip instead. Does the frictional force on a whip wrapped around a log depend on the number of loops?

This is really an experimental homework question. Find some string or leather cord and a cylinder of some kind. Wrap the cord around the cylinder once and measure the force needed to pull it off. Does this depend on the angle that you pull at? How much does the frictional force increase with each new loop around the cylinder?

How much of an effect does the coefficient of friction have on the total force? Its design demands golfers use the bounce of a wedge effectively, while honing tempo and rhythm, as well as ingraining the correct release of the clubhead on shorter shots.
