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

A book with a mass of 2.0 kg is pushed along a table. If the net force on the book is 1.0n what is the books acceleration
MatroZZZ [7]

Explanation:

<em>Given </em>

<em>Mass </em><em>(</em><em>m) </em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>kg</em>

<em>Force </em><em>(</em><em>F) </em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em> </em><em>N</em>

<em>Acceleration </em><em>(</em><em>a) </em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>?</em>

<em>We </em><em>have </em><em>the </em><em>formula </em><em>that </em>

<em>F </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>m </em><em>*</em><em> </em><em>a</em>

<em>1</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>*</em><em> </em><em>a</em>

<em>a </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>2</em><em> </em>

A cylindrical object can roll down an incline, as shown in Figure 1. The incline is slightly less than one meter in length. A gr
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

a = 2d / t²

or

a = 2gh / (3d)

Explanation:

One method is to use the equation:

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

d = (0) t + ½ at²

d = ½ at²

a = 2d / t²

By measuring the length of the incline d, and the time it takes to reach the bottom t, the students can calculate the acceleration, using only the meter stick and the stopwatch.

Another method is to use conservation of energy to find the final velocity.

Initial potential energy = final rotational energy + kinetic energy

PE = RE + KE

mgh = ½ Iω² + ½ mv²

For a solid cylinder, I = ½ mr².  For rolling without slipping, ω = v/r.

mgh = ½ (½ mr²) (v/r)² + ½ mv²

mgh = ¼ mv² + ½ mv²

mgh = ¾ mv²

4gh/3 = v²

Using constant acceleration equation:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

4gh/3 = 0² + 2ad

a = 2gh / (3d)

Using this equation, the students can measure the height of the incline h, and the length of the incline d, to calculate the acceleration.  The only equipment needed is the meter stick.

the passengers in a roller coaster feel 50 heavier than their true weight as the car goes through a dip with a 30m radius of cur
NeTakaya

Answer:

v = 12.12 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the curvature, r = 30 m

To find,

The car's speed at the bottom of the dip.

Solution,

Let mg is the true weight of the passenger. When it is moving in the circular path, the centripetal force act on it. It is given by :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

The normal reaction of the passenger is given by :

N=mg-50\%mg

N = 1.5 mg

Let v is the car's speed at the bottom of the dip. It can be calculated as:

1.5\ mg-mg=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{0.5gr}

v=\sqrt{0.5\times 9.8\times 30}

v = 12.12 m/s

So, the speed of the car at the bottom of the dip is 12.12 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A positive charge is moved from one point to another point along an equipotential surface. The work required to move the charge
Strike441 [17]

Answer:zero

Explanation:

Work done in moving a charge is zero in equipotential  surface because potential of each point is same .

When there is Potential gradient then some particle experiences a force while moving but in equipotential surface there is no potential gradient , that is why work done in moving a charge is zero.
