Gibbons, small Asian apes, move by brachiation, swinging below a handhold to move forward to the next handhold. A 9.4 kg gibbon

has an arm length (hand to shoulder) of 0.60 m. We can model its motion as that of a point mass swinging at the end of a 0.60-m-long, massless rod. At the lowest point of its swing, the gibbon is moving at 3.4 m/s . What upward force must a branch provide to support the swinging gibbon?

Answer:

upward force acting = 261.6 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of gibbon = 9.4 kg

arm length = 0.6 m

speed of the swing

net force must provide

$F_{branch} + F_{gravity}=F_{centripetal}$

force of gravity = - mg

$F_{branch}=F_{centripetal}-F_{gravity}$

= $\dfrac{mv^2}{r} + mg$

= $m(\dfrac{3.4^2}{0.6} +9.8)$

=9 x 29.067

= 261.6 N

upward force acting = 261.6 N

Explanation:

The circle has a radius r = 0.5 m, which means that its circumference C is

$C = 2\pi r = 2\pi(0.5\:\text{m}) = 3.14\:\text{m}$

One revolution means that the stopper travels a distance equal to the circumference of the circle so the velocity of the stopper is

$v = \dfrac{C}{t} =\dfrac{3.14\:\text{m}}{0.2\:\text{s}} = 15.7\:\text{m/s} \approx 16\:\text{m/s}$

A toroidal solenoid has an inner radius of 12.0 cm and an outer radius of 15.0 cm . It carries a current of 1.50 A . Part A How

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The number of turns is $N = 1750 \ turns$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The inner radius is $r_i = 12.0 \ cm = 0.12 \ m$

The outer radius is $r_o = 15.0 \ cm = 0.15 \ m$

The current it carries is $I = 1.50 \ A$

The magnetic field is $B = 3.75 mT = 3.75 *10^{-3} \ T$

The distance from the center is $d = 14.0 \ cm = 0.14 \ m$

Generally the number of turns is mathematically represented as

$N = \frac{2 * \pi * d * B}{ \mu_o * r_o }$

Generally $\mu_o$ is the permeability of free space with value

$\mu_o = 4\pi * 10^{-7} \ N/A^2$

So

$N = \frac{2 * 3.142 * 0.14 * 3.75 *10^{-3} }{ 4\pi * 10^{-7} * 0.15 }$

$N = 1750 \ turns$

In series circuit, Req = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + ···

In parallel circuit, $\frac{1}{Req} = \frac{1}{R1} + \frac{1}{R2} + \frac{1}{R3} +...$

<h3>Q7.</h3>

total resistance in the upper branch = R₂ + R₃ = R₂ + 2

$\frac{1}{Req} = \frac{1}{R2+R3} + \frac{1}{R1}$

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{R2+2} +\frac{1}{6}$

R₂ + 2 = 12

R₂ = 10Ω

<h3>Q8.</h3>

$\frac{1}{Req} = \frac{1}{R2+R3} + \frac{1}{R1}$

$\frac{1}{Req} = \frac{1}{2+1} + \frac{1}{4}$

Req = 1.7Ω

Which three quantities can be used to calculate acceleration?

PtichkaEL [24]

D is the correct answer, assuming that this is the special case of classical kinematics at constant acceleration. You can use the equation V = Vo + at, where Vo is the initial velocity, V is the final velocity, and t is the time elapsed. In D, all three of these values are given, so you simply solve for a, the acceleration.
A and C are clearly incorrect, as mass and force (in terms of projectile motion) have no effect on an object's motion. B is incorrect because it is not useful to know the position or distance traveled, unless it will help you find displacement. Even then, you would not have enough information to use a kinematics equation to find a.

The greatest obstacle to developing solar energy is _____. lack of sunlight at high latitudes lack of sunlight at night lack of

KATRIN_1 [288]

The correct answer is option #4. The greatest obstacle to developing solar energy is large areas required to collect sufficient energy. Solar energy is the energy that is the sun is producing and being converted into thermal energy that can be used for everyone's daily lives.
