Orangutans can move by brachiation, swinging like a pendulum beneath successive handholds. If an orangutan has arms that are 0.9

0 m long and repeatedly swings to a 20° angle, taking one swing immediately after another, estimate how fast it is moving in m/s.

Answer:

 v = 1.03 m / s

Explanation:

For this case we must use energy conservation. Let's define an energy system at the lowest point of the movement.

Initial energy lowest point

     Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

Final energy highest point

   Em_{f} = U = m g y

Energy is conserved

    Em₀ =   Em_{f}

    ½ m v² = m g y

    v = √ (2g y)

Let's use trigonometry to find the height

    cos 20 = L’/ L

    L’= L cos 20

The height of the displacement is the total length minus L ’

    y = L - L’

    y = L - L cos 20

    y = L (1- cos 20)

Let's replace

    v = √ (2g L (1-cos 20))

Let's calculate

   v =√(2 9.8 0.90 (1- cos 20))

   v = 1.03 m / s

On the way home from school, Taylor's car runs out of gas. He has to walk 25m north and 10m west in order to reach the nearest g
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

<em>The distance is 35 m and the magnitude of the displacement is 26.93 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Displacement  and Distance</u>

These are two related concepts. A moving object constantly travels for some distance at defined periods of time. The total distance is the sum of each individual distance the object traveled. It can be written as:

dtotal=d1+d2+d3+...+dn

This sum is calculated independently of the direction the object moves.

The displacement only takes into consideration the initial and final positions of the object. The displacement, unlike distance, is a vectorial magnitude and can even have magnitude zero if the object starts and ends the movement at the same point.

Taylor walks 25 m north and 10 m west. The total distance is the sum of both numbers:

d = 25 m + 10 m = 35 m

To calculate the displacement, we need to know the final position with respect to the initial position. If we set the coordinates of Taylor's car as the origin (0,0), then his final position is (-10,25), assuming the west direction is negative and the north direction is positive.

The magnitude of the displacement is the distance from (0,0) to (-10,25):

D=\sqrt{(25-0)^2+(-10-0)^2}

D=\sqrt{625+100}=\sqrt{725}

D = 26.93 m

The distance is 35 m and the magnitude of the displacement is 26.93 m

1. Was your hypothesis correct? Why or why not?
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

1. Upon analysis of the results, a hypothesis can be rejected or modified, but it can never be proven to be correct 100 percent of the time. For example, relativity has been tested many times, so it is generally accepted as true, but there could be an instance, which has not been encountered, where it is not true.

2.Mass is the amount of matter in a body, normally measured in grams or kilograms etc. Weight is a force that pulls on a mass and is measured in Newtons. So on Earth, Weight would be your (mass x acceleration( 9.8 ) . Density, there are lots of kinds of density I guess, but the one you are talking about is density = mass / volume. Density basically means how much mass is occupied in a specific volume or space. Different materials of the same size may have different masses because of its density. Density in this case is measured in kg / m^3 or kg / L or g / m^3 etc where the numerator is a unit of mass and the denominator a unit of volume.

3.The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.

4.  An object will float if the gravitational (downward) force is less than the buoyancy (upward) force. So, in other words, an object will float if it weighs less than the amount of water it displaces. This explains why a rock will sink while a huge boat will float.

Which one of the following indicates a drop in temperature?
Nitella [24]
Answer: <span>D. A bimetallic strip bends so that the steel is on the outside curve
</span>
When something has an increased temperature, its volume will expand. Then, if the temperature drops, its volume should be smaller. From there option A and B are out since the liquid in thermometer is expand or move up.

When you put two kinds of different metal with a different coefficient of thermal expansion, the outer curve metal will be the one with lesser coefficient when temperature drop. Since the question about drop in temperature then the metal should be bend
Brass will expand 1.5 times more than the steel so the outer curve would be the steel.

Think Critically Suppose your teacher gave you a slide of an unknown cell. How would you tell whether the cell was from an anima
topjm [15]

Answer:

You will be able to tell whether the unknown cell is from an animal or from a plant through the knowledge of difference between plants and animal cells.

Explanation:

A cell can be defined as the simplest bit of living matter which exhibits a variety of shapes and sizes and that can exist independently.

When a slide of an unknown cell is studied under a microscope, different cell structures would be observed which would be used to conclude if the cell on the slide is a plant or animal cell.

The following features are observed in a plant cell:

--> cellulose cell wall is present

--> Chloroplast is present

--> A large central vacuole is present

--> Centriole is absent

The following features are observed in animal cell:

--> Cellulose cell wall is absent

--> Chloroplast is absent

--> Small vacuoles is present

--> Centriole is present

The difference between a plant and an animal cell can be seen from the features above and a clear knowledge of this will help the student tell whether the unknown cell is from an animal or from a plant.

Engineers can determine properties of a structure that is modeled as a damped spring oscillator, such as a bridge, by applying a
Kazeer [188]

The value of spring constant and the oscillator's damping constant is

K= 6605.667008, b= 0.002884387

Explanation:

For Weakly damping spring oscillator

K/m = W_0^2     (at resonance)

K= mW_0^2

=0.206 * ( 2π * 28.5) ^2

=0.206 * (2π)^2 * (28.5)^2

K= 6605.667008

F = - bV

b= -F/V = -F/ -W_0 * m

=F/W_0 * m

= 0.438N / 2π * 28.5 * 0.848

b= 0.002884387
