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

Convection currents produce the heat in the Earth’s interior.
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Convection currents do not produce heat. In fact, convection current are a method of transfer of heat, not of production. Convection occurs when there is a fluid which is heated from bottom, from an external source of heat (such as a pot of boiling water over a flame): the bottom part of the fluid becomes warmer, and so less dense than the colder part, therefore it starts moving up, and it is replaced by the colder parts of the fluid, which go down. Later, these colder parts become warmer, so they start going up, being replaced by new colder parts, etc... in a cycle. This is known as convection current, but it requires an external source of heat, it does not produce heat by itself.

A vertically polarized beam of light of intensity 100 W/m2 passes through two ideal polarizers. The transmission axis of the fir
TEA [102]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the Malus Law. Malus's law indicates that the intensity of a linearly polarized beam of light, which passes through a perfect analyzer with a vertical optical axis is equivalent to:

I=I_0 cos^2\theta

Where,

I_ {0} indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer,

I is the resulting intensity, and

\theta indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.

Since we have two objects the law would be,

I=I_0cos^2\theta_1*cos^2(\theta_2-\theta_1)

Replacing the values,

I=100*cos^2(20)*cos^2(40-20)

I=100*cos^4(20)

I=77.91W/m^2

Therefore the intesity of the light after it has passes through both polarizers is 77.91W/m^2

Solar evaporation ponds are shallow so that the sun can heat them up, causing the water to evaporate, which increases the salt c
ehidna [41]

Answer:

B. stearothermophilus and S. ruber

Explanation:

B. stearothermophilus and S. ruber

In solar evaporation ponds the temperature is higher and the salt concentration is also higher because of the water evaporated so sunder such extreme conditions this hybrid bacteria is capable of surviving. B. stearothermophilus is thermophilus bacteria which grows at high temperature and S. ruber is halophilic bacteria which grows in saline environment. So, these two bacteria best suited for the above hybrid condition.

What important factor does the ozone layer serve in earth's atmosphere?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The Ozone layer is responsible for the absorption of harmful radiation from the sun before it hits the surface or exterior structure of our planet. It is known to be a belt of a known occurring gas, known as “ozone” which is sealed around the Earth’s atmosphere. It serves as a shield, which absorbs most of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation.
