Question

Tarzan is trying to swing on a vine from one cliff to a lower cliff. He secures himself on the end of the vine and then walks off the cliff, suspending himself in air for a very brief moment, before gravity and the vine causes him to swing back and forth like pendulum motion. The maximum height he reaches was 78 meters above the lowest point of the swing. Tarzans mass is 35.8 kg and the mass of the vine(specifically the part that holds Tarzan is 25.3 kg) 1)How much kinetic energy do tarzan and the vine have at the lowest part of the swing? 2)What speed are tarzan and the vine traveling at the bottom of the swing? When the vine swings tarzan towards the lower cliff, tarzan jumps forward with a speed of 5m/sat the bottom of the swing. 3) What speed is the vine traveling at immediately after Tarzan jumps off? 4)How much kinetic energy does the vine have immediately after Tarzan jumps off? 5) What is the maximum height the vine will reach after Tarzan jumps off?
