A gorilla drags a log across the jungle floor. The log begins at rest and accelerates at until the gorilla is moving at a fast l

ope. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the log and the mud and plants of the jungle is . Assume that friction and the gorillas pulling force remain constant the whole time. What frictional force acts on the log

Answer:

  fr = 245 N,  T = fr

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using the equilibrium conditions, let's start by creating a reference system

where we call T the drag force of the gorilla, m the mass of the trunk and μ the coefficient of kinetic friction

Y axis  

           N- W =

           N = W = mg

X axis

          T - fr = 0

          T = fr

the expression for the friction force is

          fr = μ N

          fr = μ mg

we substitute

           T = μ m g

When analyzing these expressions we see that when the trunk reaches the maximum speed that the gorilla carries, the friction force is equal to the gorilla's tension

            fr = T

for a specific calculation we must assign values ​​to:

      μ = 0.25

      m = 100 kg

let's calculate

         T = 0.25 100 9.8

         T = 245 N

therefore for this case

         fr = 245 N

This would be an illustration of Newton's first law of motion. Law of inertia, an object moving at constant velocity will keep moving at constant velocity until a force is acted upon it. Inertia is the tendency of an object to keep moving in a particular direction resisting to change, unless a force acts upon the object.

If you have 80g of a radioactive substance whose half life is 2 days, how long will it take for the substance to decay to the po
Ber [7]

Answer:

6 days.

Explanation:

From radioactivity, The expression for half life is given as,

R/R' = 2⁽ᵃ/ᵇ)................... Equation 1

Where R = original mass of the radioactive substance, R' = Remaining mass of the radioactive substance after decay, a = Total time taken to decay, b = half life.

Given: R = 80 g, R' = 10 g, b = 2 days.

Substitute into equation 1

80/10 = 2⁽ᵃ/²⁾

8 = 2⁽ᵃ/²⁾

2³ = 2⁽ᵃ/²)

Equating the base and solving for a

3 = a/2

a = 2×3

a = 6 days.

Which trophic level has the least available energy in kilojoules in this food web?
insens350 [35]

The highest trophic level has the least available energy in kilojoules.

Even though the food web is not shown in the question, but we know that energy decreases steadily as it is passed on from one trophic level to the next according to the second law of thermodynamics.

Energy enters into the system from the sun. The primary producers utilize this energy to produce food. As plants are eaten by animals, this energy is transferred along the food web an diminishes at each higher trophic level.

At the highest trophic level, the the least available energy in kilojoules in this food web is found.
