A Swinging Monkey A 8.72 kg monkey is hanging by one arm from a branch and swinging on a vertical circle. As an approximation, a

ssume that the radial distance between the branch and the point where the monkey's mass is located to be 84.1 cm. As it swings through the lowest point on the circle, the monkey has a speed of 2.53 m/s. Calculate the magnitude of the centripetal force acting on the monkey.

Answer:

Centripetal force, F = 66.36 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the monkey, m = 8.72 kg

The radial distance between the branch and the point where the monkey's mass is located to be 84.1 cm, r = 84.1 cm

The speed of the monkey, v = 2.53 m/s

We need to find the magnitude of the centripetal force acting on the monkey. It is given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\\F=\dfrac{8.72\times (2.53)^2}{84.1\times 10^{-2}}\\\\F=66.36\ N$

So, the magnitude of the centripetal force acting on the monkey is 66.36 N.

How large a band of frequencies does each television broadcasting channel get ?

k0ka [10]

Answer:

Since the waves must carry a great deal of visual as well as audio information, each channel requires a larger range of frequencies than simple radio transmission. TV channels utilize frequencies in the range of 54 to 88 MHz and 174 to 222 MHz. (The entire FM radio band lies between channels 88 MHz and 174 MHz.)

Explain how the fixed points are used when calibrating a thermometer.

8090 [49]

<u>Answer:</u>

First, the thermometer is dipped into boiling water, and the mercury inside the thermometer rises to a high level, called the boiling point. This level is then marked as 100°C. The thermometer is then dipped into melting ice, which causes the mercury level to fall to a point called the ice point. This point is then marked as 0°C. The length of the thermometer from the 0°C mark to the 100°C point is then divided into 100 equal sections, and the rest of the levels are marked accordingly.

An electron passes through a point 2.83 cm 2.83 cm from a long straight wire as it moves at 35.5 % 35.5% of the speed of light p

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

The magnitude of electron acceleration is $2.34 \times 10^{15}$ $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

Explanation:

Given:

Distance from the wire to the field point $r = 2.83 \times 10^{-2}$ m

Speed of electron $v = 35.5 \%c$

Current $I = 17.7$ A

For finding the acceleration,

First find the magnetic field due to wire,

$B = \frac{\mu _{o}I }{2\pi r }$

Where $\mu_{o} = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}$

$B = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 17.7 }{2\pi (2.83 \times 10^{-2} ) }$

$B = 12.50 \times 10^{-5}$ T

The magnetic force exerted on the electron passing through straight wire,

$F = qvB$

$F = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 0.355 \times 3 \times 10^{8} \times 12.50 \times 10^{-5}$

$F = 21.3 \times 10^{-16}$ N

From the newton's second law

$F = ma$

Where $m =$ mass of electron $= 9.1 \times 10^{-31}$ kg

So acceleration is given by,

$a = \frac{F}{m}$

$a = \frac{21.3 \times 10^{-16} }{9.1 \times 10^{-31} }$

$a = 2.34 \times 10^{15}$ $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

Therefore, the magnitude of electron acceleration is $2.34 \times 10^{15}$ $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

A ball is dropped from rest from a high window of a tall building and falls for 4 seconds. Neglecting air resistance, the final

Semenov [28]

Answer:

The final velocity of the ball is 39.2 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

A ball is dropped from rest from a high window of a tall building.

Time = 4 sec

We need to calculate the final velocity of the ball

Using equation if motion

$v=u+gt$

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = time

Put the value into the formula

$v=0+9.8\times4$

$v=39.2\ m/s$

Hence, The final velocity of the ball is 39.2 m/s.
