Answer:

20.5

Explanation:

in this case, the two vectors are in the same direction, so they simply add:

total motion = 18m/s + 2.5m/s = 20.5m/s to the west

The current in two identical light bulbs connected in series is 0. 25 A. The voltage across both bulbs is 110 V. The resistance
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

220 ohms

Explanation:

I = V / R

0.25 = 110 / R

R = 110 / 0.25

R = 440 ohms

Equivalent resistance = 440 ohms

Resistance of single light bulb = Equivalent resistance / number of bulbs

= 440 / 2

= 220 ohms

Gibbons, small Asian apes, move by brachiation, swinging below a handhold to move forward to the next handhold. A 9.0 kg gibbon
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

230 N

Explanation:

At the lowest position , the velocity is maximum hence at this point, maximum support force  T  is given by the branch.

The swinging motion of the ape on a vertical circular path , will require

a centripetal force  in upward direction . This is related to weight as follows

T - mg = m v² / R

R is radius of circular path . m is mass of the ape and velocity is 3.2 m/s

T =  mg -  mv² / R

T = 8.5 X 9.8 + 8.5 X 3.2² / .60  { R is length of hand of ape. }

T = 83.3 + 145.06

= 228.36

= 230 N ( approximately )
