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:

how fast it is moving in m/s? 0.65 m/s.

Explanation:

given information:

the length of the arm, L - 0.9 m

angle, θ = 20°

First we calculate the distance in horizontal motion

s = 2 L sin θ

  = 2 (0.9) sin 20°

  = 0.62 m

now calculate the time

t/2 = 2π√(L/g)

t   = π√(0.9/9.8)

    = 0.95 s

the speed is

v = s/t

  = 0.62/0.95

  = 0.65 m/s

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the top of a building 80 feet tall with an initial velocity of 64 feet per second. The d
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

a) t=6.37s

b) t=3.3333s

Explanation:

The knowable variables are the initial hight and initial velocity

s_{o}=80ft

v_{os}=64ft/s

The equation that describes the motion of the ball is:

s=80+64t-16t^{2}

If we want to know the time that takes the ball to hit the ground, we need to calculate it by doing s=0 that is the final hight.

0=80+64t-12t^{2}

a) Solving for t, we are going to have two answers

t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}

a=-16

b=64

c=80

t=-1.045 s or t=6.378s

<em><u>Since time can not be negative the answer is t=6.378s </u></em>

b) To find the time that takes the ball to pass the top of the building on its way down, we must find how much does it move too

First of all, we need to find the maximum hight and how much time does it take to reach it:

v_{y}=v_{o}+gt

at maximum point the velocity is 0

0=64-32.2t

Solving for t

t=1.9875 s

Now, we must know how much distance does it take to reach maximum point

s=0+64t-16t^{2} =64(1.9875)-12(1.9875)^{2} =80ft

So, the ball pass the top of the building on its way down at 160 ft

160=80+64t-16t^{2}

Solving for t

t=2s or t=3.333s

Since the time that the ball reaches maximum point is almost t=2s that answer can not be possible, so the answer is t=3.333s for the ball to go up and down, passing the top of the building

Richard is driving home to visit his parents. 150 mi of the trip are on the interstate highway where the speed limit is 65 mph .
Serggg [28]

Answer:

t = 25.5 min

Explanation:

To know how many minutes does Richard save, you first calculate the time that Richard takes with both velocities v1 = 65mph and v2 = 80mph.

t_1=\frac{x}{v_1}=\frac{150mi}{65mph}=2.30h\\\\t_2=\frac{x}{v_2}=\frac{150mi}{80mph}=1.875h

Next, you calculate the difference between both times t1 and t2:

\Delta t=t_1-t_2=2.30h-1.875h=0.425h

This is the time that Richard saves when he drives with a speed of 80mph. Finally, you convert the result to minutes:

0.425h*\frac{60min}{1h}=25.5min=25\ min\ \ 30 s

hence, Richard saves 25.5 min (25 min and 30 s) when he drives with a speed of 80mph
