If Tarzan swings down from a 20-m high tree limb on a vine and weighs 900N and slams into a 390N cheetah how far will the two slide if the coefficient of friction is .11?

There will be no slide, just a big SPLAT! with little pieces of Tarzan and cheetah all mixed up in a messy pile - uggggh! There will be no slide, just a big SPLAT! with little pieces of Tarzan and cheetah all mixed up in a messy pile - uggggh!

Why does the pendulum not go as high when it swings back Where does lost potential energy go?
Most of it gets lost as friction.
When a pendulum swings and is not continuously pushed it will stop because some of its energy was changed into what?
The energy of the swinging is converted into heat energy by friction.
A father swings his child around in a circle The source of the centripetal force that keeps the child moving in a circle is friction or weight or gravity?
gravity
When a pendulum swings if it is not continuously pushed it will stop eventually because some of its energy is changed into blank energy?
The energy changes into is Thermal energy because of the friction caused by it moving produces heat. [Hope it helps]
What variable affects the number of swings in a given amount of time?
GravityMassRotation of the earth, the spinning of the Earth which acts on the path of the swinging object.And lastly friction (very small effect)But the most powerful effect of a swinging object is gravity
Why is it thermal energy when you twirl a jump rope?
Because as the rope swings through the air, it creates friction. friction = heat.

What is the purpose of polishing a ball in cricket?
The purpose is that when the ball is thrown the polished side gets less friction in comparision with the other side so the ball swings
How can you make a pendulum swing without stopping Is it possible?
Every time the pendulum swings back and forth, some energy is lost to friction. Friction with air, and friction in the supporting string or whatever. If you manage to reduce this friction (for example, reduce air friction by making the pendulum swing in a vacuum), it will swing longer. However, you won't be able to reduce energy losses completely; it may swing longer, but not forever.
Is friction usefull in playgrounds?
Friction is fascinating because in so many situations we try to reduce friction, but friction is a necessary force, without which everything would be impossible. Without friction we would all be flat on the floor without any methods of directing our motion. We would randomly collide with things and then continuing moving in another direction. Without friction the slide at the playground would be really fast, but you could never climb the ladder to get on it. The swings would be useless since no one could get into them. So friction is necessary for playgrounds.
What is the number of swings a pendulum makes in 10 swings?
I'd guess that if it swings 10 times, it makes 10 swings.

A cheetah adapts to seasonal changes by growing thicker fur
