    Tarzan swinging- kinetic energy problem?

    We are just now learning about energy and work in my physics class, so we are trying to approach kinematics from that angle (no pun intended). Here is a problem I'm not quite sure about: Tarzan runs at top speed (5.0 m/s) and grasps a 4.0 m vine hanging vertically from a tall tree in the...
