Gibbons, small Asian apes, move by brachiation, swinging below a handhold to move forward to thenext handhold. A 9.3kggibbon has

an arm length (hand to shoulder) of 0.60m. We can model its motionas 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 3.3m/s. What upward force must a branch provide to support the swinging gibbon?

Upward force provided by the branch is 260 N

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given -

Mass of Gibbon, m = 9.3 kg

Length of the branch, r = 0.6 m

Speed of the movement, v = 3.3 m/s

Upward force, T = ?

The tension force in the rod must be greater than the weight at the bottom of the swing in order to provide an upward centripetal acceleration.

Therefore,

F net = T - mg

F net = ma = mv²/r

Thus,

T = mv²/r + mg

T = m ( v²/r + g)

T = 9.3 [ ( 3.3)² / 0.6 + 9.8]

T = 259.9 N ≈ 260 N

Therefore, upward force provided by the branch is 260 N

The three forces shown act on a particle. what is the direction of the resultant of these three forces?
melisa1 [442]
Missing figure: http://d2vlcm61l7u1fs.cloudfront.net/media/f5d/f5d9d0bc-e05f-4cd8-9277-da7cdda3aebf/phpJK1JgJ.png

Solution:
We need to find the magnitude of the resultant on both x- and y-axis.

x-axis) The resultant on the x-axis is
F_x = 65 N\cdot cos 30^{\circ} - 30 N - 20 N\cdot sin 20^{\circ} = 19.45 N
in the positive direction.

y-axis) The resultant on the y-axis is
F_y = 65 N \cdot sin 30^{\circ} - 20 N \cdot cos 20^{\circ} = 13.70 N
in the positive direction.

Both Fx and Fy are positive, so the resultant is in the first quadrant. We can find the angle and so the direction using
\tan \alpha =  \frac{F_y}{F_x} = \frac{13.70 N}{19.45 N}=0.7
from which we find 
\alpha=35^{\circ}

A car is running at the speed of 45km/hr see a child 25 meter ahead and suddenly apllies a brakes. If the retradation of the car
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The car stops in 7.78s and does not spare the child.

Explanation:

In order to know if the car stops before the distance to the child, you take into account the following equation:

x=x_o+v_ot-\frac{1}{2}at^2        (1)

vo: initial speed of the car = 45km/h

a: deceleration of the car = 2 m/s^2

t: time

xo: initial distance to the child = 25m

x: final distance to the child = 0m

It is necessary that the solution of the equation (1) for time t are real.

You first convert the initial speed to m/s, then replace the values of the parameters and solve the quadratic polynomial for t:

45\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1h}{3600s}*\frac{1000m}{1km}=12.5\frac{m}{s}

0=25+12.5t-2t^2\\\\2t^2-12.5t-25=0\\\\t_{1,2}=\frac{-(-12.5)\pm \sqrt{(-12.5)^2-4(2)(-25)}}{2(2)}\\\\t_{1,2}=\frac{12.25\pm 18.87}{4}\\\\t_1=7.78s\\\\t_2=-1.65s

You take the first value t1 because it has physical meaning.

The solution for t is real, then, the car stops in 7.78s and does not spare the child.
