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

A certain type of laser emits light that has a frequency of 4.2 × 1014 Hz. The light, however, occurs as a series of short pulse
bogdanovich [222]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of the laser light, f=4.2\times 10^{14}\ Hz

Time, t=3.2\times 10^{-11}\ s

(a) Let \lambda is the wavelength of this light. It can be calculated as :

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{4.2\times 10^{14}}

\lambda=7.14\times 10^{-7}\ m

or

\lambda=714\ nm

(b) Let n is the number of the wavelengths in one pulse. It can be calculated as :

n=f\times t

n=4.2\times 10^{14}\times 3.2\times 10^{-11}

n = 13440

Hence, this is the required solution.

A 18Ω resistance is cut into three equal parts and connected in parallel. Find the equivalent resistance of the combination.
Andrew [12]

Answer:

2Ω

Explanation:

If a 18Ω resistance is cut into three equal parts each of the resistance will be 18Ω/3 = 6Ω

Equivalent ratio in parallel is expressed as:

1/R = 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6

1/R = 3/6

Cross multiply

3R = 6

R = 6/3

R = 2Ω

Hence the required equivalent resistance is 2Ω

A 5.00 gram bullet moving at 600 m/s penetrates a tree trunk to a depth of 4.00 cm.
Crazy boy [7]
A) Work energy relation;
 Work =ΔKE ; work done = Force × distance, while, Kinetic energy = 1/2 MV²
 F.s = 1/2mv²
F× 4×10^-2 = 1/2 × 5 ×10^-3 × (600)²
 F = 900/0.04
    = 22500 N
Therefore, force is 22500 N

b) From newton's second law of motion;
 F = Ma
Thus; a = F/m
             = 22500/(5×10^-3)
             = 4,500,000 m/s²
But v = u-at
  0 = 600- 4500,000 t
t = 1.33 × 10^-4 seconds
