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

Kaushik had three pendulum bobs made of steel of the same length but different masses of 10 g, 50 g and 100 g respectively. When
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

c. Time period remains the same in all.

Explanation:

In order to answer this question, we need to analyze the parameters, upon which the time period of a pendulum depends. We know that the time of a pendulum is given by the following formula:

T = 2π√(L/g)

where,

T = Time period

L = Length of pendulum

g = acceleration due to gravity

The formula clearly shows that the time period of the pendulum depends only upon the length of pendulum and value of g. And the time period of a pendulum does not depend upon the mass of the bob. Hence, the time period for each of the three pendulums will remain same. So, the correct option will be:

<u>c. Time period remains the same in all.</u>

Is there a "real" simple machine that has an efficiency of 100%?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

NO

Explanation:

No, a machine cannot be 100% efficient. This is due to the movement of the moving parts siding against each other and causing friction. This friction is the one that creates heat and causes wear and tear between moving ports f the machine hence making the machine to decrease in efficiency with time
