By bring their legs close to their bodies, they are decreasing the length of the pendulum which help them move more quickly.

A pendulum is nothing but a body suspended from a fixed point so that it can swing back and forth under the influence of gravity.

Here in this case Gibbons are bringing their legs close to their bodies and reducing the length of the pendulum. Since as the length of the pendulum increases the speed of the movement will be reduced. By bringing their legs close to their bodies they are reducing the length and in turn their speed increase and they move quickly.

What happens to solar radiation when it is absorbed
Zanzabum

Answer:

Absorbed sunlight is balanced by heat radiated from Earth's surface and atmosphere. ... The atmosphere radiates heat equivalent to 59 percent of incoming sunlight; the surface radiates only 12 percent. In other words, most solar heating happens at the surface, while most radiative cooling happens in the atmosphere

A 13-cm-diameter cd has a mass of 25 g . part a what is the cd's moment of inertia for rotation about a perpendicular axis throu
faltersainse [42]
<span>Answer: For a disc, the moment of inertia about the perpendicular axis through the center is given by 0.5MR^2. where M is the mass of the disc and R is the radius of the disc. For the axis through the edge, use parallel axis theorem. I = I(axis through center of mass) + M(distance between the axes)^2 = 0.5MR^2 + MR^2 (since the axis through center of mass is the axis through the center) = 1.5 MR^2</span>

The 94-lb force P is applied to the 220-lb crate, which is stationary before the force is applied. Determine the magnitude and d
Makovka662 [10]

Answer

given,

force = 94 lb

weight of crate = 220 lb

Assuming the static friction be equal = 0.47

                       kinetic friction = 0.36

Maximum force applied to move the object is when object is just start to move.

F = μ N

F = 0.47 x 220

F = 103.4 lb

As the frictional force is more than applied then the object will not move.

so, the friction force will be equal to the force applied on the object that is equal to 94 lb.

hence, the direction of force will left.
