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

Turn the ignition switch to start and release the key immediately or you could destroy the______________.
vredina [299]

Starter

Explanation:

Turn the ignition switch to start and release the key immediately or you could destroy the starter.

The car starter is used to cause ignition in the internal combustion engine in order to fire the piston and cause mechanical motion. The starter is used to start the cyclic process of the internal combustion engine.

  • Once the engine starts by igniting the starter, it is best to release it.
  • The starter ensures that the spark plug is engaged and the motor is brought into work.
  • If the ignition is still engaged, the process continues repeatedly and it can damage the starter of the car.

A piece of wood 400N in weight and 50cm X 30cm X 20cm in size lies on 50cm X 20cm face. Calculate the pressure exerted by it.
Serga [27]

Answer:

P = 4000 [Pa]

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the relationship between Force and the area where the body rests.

The support area is equal to:

A=50*20=1000[cm^{2} ]

But we must convert from square centimeters to square meters.

1000[cm^{2}]*\frac{1^{2}m^{2}  }{100^{2}m^{2}  }=0.1[m^{2} ]

And the pressure is:

P=\frac{F}{A} \\P=400/0.1\\P=4000[N/m^{2} ]or 4000[Pa]

How is momentum conserved in a newtons cradle <br><br> when one steel ball hits the other
arsen [322]

In Newton's Cradle experiment we know that all cradles of same mass and identical to each other

Now we know that when two identical objects collide elastically then they interchange their velocity

So here we have same illustration

When Newton pulls up a cradle and release it will move hit another cradle which is at rest

Due to elastic collision between them first cradle comes to rest and another cradle will move ahead with same speed this process remains the same and one by one all cradle hit another.

So at the last the cradle at the end will move off with the same speed as the first cradle will hit with the speed.

So in this experiment the cradle at the last end will move off at same distance away from the right end as that of left end we pull the cradle.

So here we can say that in horizontal direction when all cradles are colliding each other there is no external force on the system so momentum is conserved and they all will move off with same speed and hence we observe the above condition.

a spring is compressed 15 centimeters when a 8.5 kilogram weight is set upon it. how much power would be needed to stretch out t
o-na [289]

Answer:

159.38 Watts

Explanation:

Initially;

  • Mass on the spring is 8.5 kg
  • Therefore, compression force is 85 N
  • Compression distance is 15 cm or 0.15 m

But;

F = kx

where F is the force of compression, k is the spring constant and x is the compression distance.

Thus;

k = F/x

  = 85 N ÷0.15

  = 566.67 N/m

We are required to determine the power needed to stretch the same spring for 1.5 m in 4 secs.

Power = Work done ÷ time

Work done is given by 0.5kx²

Therefore;

Power = 0.5kx²÷ t

          = (0.5×566.67 N/m × 1.5² ) ÷ 4 seconds

          = 159.38 Watts

Thus, the power needed is 159.38 watts
