A 12.6-kg monkey is hanging by one arm from a branch and swinging on a vertical circle. As an approximation, assume a radial dis

tance of 85.3 cm is between the branch and the point where the monkey's mass is located. As the monkey swings through the lowest point on the circle, it has a speed of 1.36 m/s. Find (a) the magnitude of the centripetal force acting on the monkey and (b) the magnitude of the tension in the monkey's arm.

Answer:

a)27.3N

b)150.78N

Explanation:

Having in mind the conservation of energy, as the monkey goes up (gaining potential gravitational energy) the kinetic energy must be reduced, so reducing the velocity of the monkey. So the maximum velocity will be at this lower point with a velocity of 1.36m/s

From this velocity and the radius we can calculate the angular velocity for the monkey center of mass:

w=\frac{1.36m/s}{0.853m} =1.594 /s

with this we can calculate the centripetal force magnitude:

F=m*w^{2} *r=12.6kg*(1.594/s)^{2} *0.853m=27.3N

On the mokey center of mass we have two opposite forces acting, the tension of the arm and the weight, in order for the monkey to continue swinging the resolt of this two forces must be equal to the centripetal force:

T-P=F=>T=F+P

T=27.3N+12.6kg*9.8m/s^{2}=150.78N

The acceleration due to gravity near Earth ... Select one: a. varies inversely with the distance from the center of Earth. by. v
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

b. varies inversely with the square of the distance from the center of Earth.

Explanation:

Comparing the Newton's law of universal gravitation and second law of motion;

from Newton's second law of motion,

F = ma ............. 1

from New ton's law of universal gravitation,

F = \frac{GMm}{r^{2} } ........... 2

Equating 1 and 2, we have;

mg =  \frac{GMm}{r^{2} }

g = \frac{GM}{r^{2} }

Therefore, the acceleration due to gravity near Earth, g, is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the center of Earth.

What is kinetic energy and what is net force formula
Over [174]

Answer:

Here's the equation for net force: F = ma. The work done on the plane, which becomes its kinetic energy, equals the following: Net force F equals mass times acceleration. Assume that you're pushing in the same direction that the plane is going; in this case, cos 0 degrees = 1, so.

Explanation:

In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes

Hope this help also looking it up helps ;)
