The people living around the equator experience acceleration. Acceleration is the change in speed or/and direction. When on a rotating body, the speed does not change it is only the direction that changes as it rotates.When on a rotating body you do not have to change speed but only direction. In a normal situation when you are traveling on a circle you will never have a straight line.

A 12.6-kg monkey is hanging by one arm from a branch and swinging on a vertical circle. As an approximation, assume a radial dis
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

a)27.3N

b)150.78N

Explanation:

Having in mind the conservation of energy, as the monkey goes up (gaining potential gravitational energy) the kinetic energy must be reduced, so reducing the velocity of the monkey. So the maximum velocity will be at this lower point with a velocity of 1.36m/s

From this velocity and the radius we can calculate the angular velocity for the monkey center of mass:

w=\frac{1.36m/s}{0.853m} =1.594 /s

with this we can calculate the centripetal force magnitude:

F=m*w^{2} *r=12.6kg*(1.594/s)^{2} *0.853m=27.3N

On the mokey center of mass we have two opposite forces acting, the tension of the arm and the weight, in order for the monkey to continue swinging the resolt of this two forces must be equal to the centripetal force:

T-P=F=>T=F+P

T=27.3N+12.6kg*9.8m/s^{2}=150.78N

The velocity of a 1.3 kg remote-controlled car is plotted on the graph. The work of segment A is J.
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: 585 J

Explanation:

We can calculate the work done during segment A by using the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done is equal to the gain in kinetic energy of the object:

W=K_f -K_i

where Kf is the final kinetic energy and Ki the initial kinetic energy. The initial kinetic energy is zero (because the initial velocity is 0), while the final kinetic energy is

K_f =\frac{1}{2}mv^2

The mass is m=1.3 kg, while the final velocity is v=30 m/s, so the work done is:

W=K_f = \frac{1}{2}(1.3 kg)(30 m/s)^2=585 J

What happens in a global convection cell? apex​
zysi [14]

Answer:

In a global convection cell less –dense air at the equator rises and flows towards the poles. And from pole, the dense air sinks down and flows back towards the equator.... This movement of air is also supported by the Earth's rotation known as Coriolis Effect.
