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

MrRa [10]
The kinetic energy is \frac 1 2 m v^2 and the height of the building doesn't matter at all.

E = \frac 1 2 m v^2 = \frac 1 2 (2)(5)^2 = 25 joules

When are magnets attracted and when are they repelled.
vova2212 [387]
Magnets are attracted when each of the different sides, most commonly known as "North" and "South", are facing each other. They repel when North and North, or South and South are facing each other.

Identify two factors you must know to describe the motion of an object along a straight line
Sveta_85 [38]

In order to describe motion along a straight line, you must state the speed and direction of the motion. Those two quantities, together, comprise what's known as "velocity".

Suppose the line on a distance-versus-time graph and the line on a speed-versus-time graph are both slanted straight lines going
lesya [120]
No, because the distance-time would show a constant velocity but the velocity-time graph shows an increasing velocity.
