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 wind turbine has a total input power of 2 500 kW.
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Output power = 500 KW

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Efficiency = 20%

Input power = 2500 KW

To find the output power;

Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; power}{In-put \; power} * 100

Substituting into the equation, we have;

LET Output power = OP

20 = \frac {OP}{2500} * 100

Cross-multiplying, we have;

20 * 2500 = OP * 100

50000 = OP * 100

OP = \frac {50000}{100}

Output power = 500 KW

A rock is thrown downward from an unknown height above the ground with an initial speed of 6.1 m/s. It strikes the ground 1.7 s
insens350 [35]

Answer:

24.531 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 1.7 s

u = Initial velocity = 6.1 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

Equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=6.1\times 1.7+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1.7^2\\\Rightarrow s=24.531\ m

The initial height of the rock above the ground is 24.531 m

What is the electric potential v due to the nucleus of hydrogen at a distance of 5.292×10−11 m ?
viktelen [127]

Answer: 27.21 V

Explanation:

The <u>electric potential</u> V_{E} due to a point charge is expressed as:

V_{E}=k\frac{q}{r}

Where:

k=9(10)^{9}\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}} is the <u>electric constant</u>

q=1.6(10)^{-19}C is the <u>electric charge of the hydrogen nucleus</u>, which is positive

r=5.292(10)^{-11}m is the <u>distance</u>

Rewritting the equation with the known values:

V_{E}=9(10)^{9}\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}}\frac{1.6(10)^{-19}C}{5.292(10)^{-11}m}

Finally:

V_{E}=27.21 V
