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

Sonia was experimenting with electric charges. She tied two inflated balloons together, held them next to each other, and rubbed
lions [1.4K]

Answer: They will repel each other.

Explanation:

Two inflated balloons when rubbed with woolen cloth will lead to repeal each other because of the similar charges on both the balloons.

Rubbing both the balloons together by the woolen cloth will introduce negative charge in the balloons.

As, we know that the same charges repeal each other both of the balloons with be apart from each other.

This is due to the static electricity, the negatively charged particles jump to the positive one. When balloons are rubbed they become negatively charged.

A 235.0 g metal block absorbs 2.44 × 103 J of heat to raise its temperature by 35 K. What is the specific heat of the metal? Sho
andrew-mc [135]
When an object absorbs an amount of energy equal to Q, its temperature raises by \Delta T following the formula
Q=m C_s \Delta T
where m is the mass of the object and C_s is the specific heat capacity of the material.

In our problem, we have Q=2.44 \cdot 10^3 J, m=235.0 g and \Delta T=35 K, so we can re-arrange the formula and substitute the numbers to find the specific heat capacity of the metal:
C_s =  \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}= \frac{2.44 \cdot 10^3 J}{(235.0 g)(35 K)}=0.297 J g^{-1} K^{-1}

A policeman in a stationary car measures the speed of approaching cars by means of an ultrasonic device that emits a sound with
beks73 [17]

Answer:

4.6 kHz

Explanation:

The formula for the Doppler effect allows us to find the frequency of the reflected wave:

f'=(\frac{v}{v-v_s})f

where

f is the original frequency of the sound

v is the speed of sound

vs is the speed of the wave source

In this problem, we have

f = 41.2 kHz

v = 330 m/s

vs = 33.0 m/s

Therefore, if we substitute in the equation we find the frequency of the reflected wave:

f'=(\frac{330 m/s}{330 m/s-33.0 m/s})(41.2 kHz)=45.8 kHz

And the frequency of the beats is equal to the difference between the frequency of the reflected wave and the original frequency:

f_B = |f'-f|=|45.8 kHz-41.2 kHz|=4.6 kHz
