Gibbons, small Asian apes, move by brachiation, swinging below a handhold to move forward to thenext handhold. A 9.3kggibbon has

an arm length (hand to shoulder) of 0.60m. We can model its motionas that of a point mass swinging at the end of a 0.60-m-long, massless rod. At the lowest point of its swing,the gibbon is moving at 3.3m/s. What upward force must a branch provide to support the swinging gibbon?

Upward force provided by the branch is 260 N

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given -

Mass of Gibbon, m = 9.3 kg

Length of the branch, r = 0.6 m

Speed of the movement, v = 3.3 m/s

Upward force, T = ?

The tension force in the rod must be greater than the weight at the bottom of the swing in order to provide an upward centripetal acceleration.

Therefore,

F net = T - mg

F net = ma = mv²/r

Thus,

T = mv²/r + mg

T = m ( v²/r + g)

T = 9.3 [ ( 3.3)² / 0.6 + 9.8]

T = 259.9 N ≈ 260 N

Therefore, upward force provided by the branch is 260 N

Consider the Bohr energy expression (Equation 30.13) as it applies to singly ionized helium He+ (Z = 2) and an ionized atom with
ella [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Bohr's energy expression is as follows

E_n = 13.6 z² /n² where z is atomic no and n is principal quantum no of the atom .

z for helium is 2 and for ionised atom is 5 . Let energy of n₁ level of He is equal to energy level n₂ of ionised atom

so

13.6 x 2² / n₁² = 13.6 x 5² / n₂²

n₁ / n₂ = 2/5 , ie 2nd energy level of He matches 5 th energy level of ionised atom .

For quantum numbers less than or equal to 9 , If we take n₁ = 8 for He

Putting it in the equation above

2² / 8² = 5² / n₂²

n₂ = 5 x 8 / 2

= 20 .

energy

= -  13.6 x2² / 8²

= -  0.85 eV .

The wavelength of some red light is 700.5 nm. what is the frequency of this red light?
Alborosie
The frequency of the red light is 428 terahertz. To get the value of the red light's frequency, use the formula F = velocity/wavelength. The velocity of light is 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. For easier computation, convert 700.5 nanometers to meter. 1 nanometer is equal to 1 x 10^-9 meters. 700.5 nanometers is equal to 7.005 x 10^-7 meters. Divide the velocity 3.00 x 10^8m/s by wavelength 7.005 x 10^-7 meters. The result will be 4.28 x 10^14 Hertz or 428 terahertz.

<span>As it is descended from a vertical height h, The lost Potential Energy = Mgh The gained Kenetic Energy = (1/2)Mv^2; The rotational KE = (1/2)Jw^2 The angular speed w = speed/ Radius = v/R So Rotational KE = (1/2)Jw^2 = (1/2)J(v/R)^2; J is moment of inertia Now Mgh = (1/2)Mv^2 + (1/2)J(v/R)^2 => 2gh/v^2 = 1 + (J/MR^2) As v = (5gh/4)^1/2, (J/MR^2) = 2gh/v^2 - 1 => (J/MR^2) = (8gh/5gh) - 1 so (J/MR^2) = 3/5 and therefore J = (3/5)MR^2.</span>

The flat-bed trailer carries two 1500-kg beams with the upper beam secured by a cable. The coefficients of static friction betwe
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

a) a= 8.33 m/s²,    T = 12.495 N , b)    a = 2.45 m / s²

Explanation:

a) this is an exercise of Newton's second law. As the upper load is secured by a cable, it cannot be moved, so the lower load is determined by the maximum acceleration.

We apply Newton's second law to the lower charge

            fr₁ + fr₂ = ma

The equation for the force of friction is

          fr = μ N

Y Axis

         N - W₁ –W₂ = 0

         N = W₁ + W₂

         N = (m₁ + m₂) g

Since the beams are the same, it has the same mass

        N = 2 m g

We replace

           μ₁ 2mg + μ₂ mg = m a

          a = (2μ₁ + μ₂) g

          a = (2 0.30 + 0.25) 9.8

          a= 8.33 m/s²

Let's look for cable tension with beam 2

          T = m₂ a

          T = 1500 8.33

          T = 12.495 N

b) For maximum deceleration the cable loses tension (T = 0 N), so as this beam has less friction is the one that will move first, we are assuming that the rope is horizontal

           fr = m₂ a₂

           N- w₂ = 0

          N = W₂ = mg

          μ₂ mg = m a₂

          a = μ₂ g

          a = 0.25 9.8

          a = 2.45 m / s²

Suppose a rectangular piece of aluminum has a length D, and its square cross section has the dimensions W XW, where D (W x W) to
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

R₂ / R₁ = D / L

Explanation:

The resistance of a metal is

        R = ρ L / A

Where ρ is the resistivity of aluminum, L is the length of the resistance and A its cross section

We apply this formal to both configurations

Small face measurements (W W)

The length is

         L = W

Area  

         A = W W = W²

        R₁ = ρ W / W² = ρ / W

Large face measurements (D L)

       Length L = D= 2W

       Area     A = W L

     R₂ = ρ D / WL = ρ 2W / W L = 2 ρ/L

The relationship is

    R₂ / R₁ = 2W²/L
