Gibbons, small Asian apes, move by brachiation, swinging below a handhold to move forward to the next handhold. A 9.0 kg gibbon has an arm length (hand to shoulder) of 0.60 m. We can model its motion as 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 3.5 m/s. What upward force must a branch provide to support the swinging gibbon?

- A figure skater has a moment of inertia of 0.39 kg-m2. He is spinning at 251.6 rpm. He extends his arms until he slows down to 50.8 rpm. What is his new moment of inerta (in kg-m2)?arrow_forwardAn energetic father stands at the summit of a conical hill as he spins his 24 kg child around on a 5.5 kg cart with a 2.3-m-long rope. The sides of the hill are inclined at 22 ∘ to the horizontal. He keeps the rope parallel to the ground, and friction is negligible. What rope tension will allow the cart to spin with the 13 rpm?arrow_forwardGreg Huegel, a Clemson All-American placekicker and former PHYS 2070 student, was nicknamed “The Grocery Store Kicker” by Dabo Swinney after being discovered as a walk on. When kicking a football, the kicker rotates his leg about the hip joint. As we proceed through this question, you will have to pull on information from past tests. If the velocity of the tip of the kicker’s shoe is 33.5 m/s and the hip joint is 1.25 m from the tip of the shoe, what is the shoe tip’s angular velocity in rad/s? The shoe is in contact with the initially nearly stationary 0.500 kg football for 20.0 ms. What average force is exerted on the football in Newtons to give it a velocity of 20.5 m/s? find the maximum range of the football in meters, neglecting air resistance.arrow_forward

There is no 6.00 kg sliding on an inclined frictionless surface that makes an angle of 24° slippage between the string and the pulley.

He places a 1.0 kg rock in a sling, ties the sling to a 1.0-m-long vine, then swings the rock in a horizontal circle around his head. The plane of the motion is 25 m above the plain below. The tension in the vine increases as the rock goes faster and faster. Suddenly, just as the tension reaches 200 N, the vine snaps. If the rock is moving toward the cliff at this instant, how far out on the plain (from the base of the cliff) will it land?arrow_forwardA skater has a moment of inertia of 3 kg.m2 (kilogram, meter squared) when her arms are outstretched and 1 kg. m2 when her arms are brought to her sides. She starts to spin at 1 revolution per second when her arms are outstretched and the she pulls her arms to her sides. About how many times is this speed faster than when her arms are outstretched?arrow_forward
- Help me pleasearrow_forwardA light, rigid rod is 75.5 cm long. Its top end is pivoted on a frictionless horizontal axle. The rod hangs straight down at rest with a small, massive ball attached to its bottom end. You strike the ball, suddenly giving it a horizontal velocity so that it swings around in a full circle. Wwhat minimum speed at the bottom is required to make the ball go over the top of the circle? m/sarrow_forwardA massless spring of constant k = 78.4 N/m is fixed on the left side of a level track. A block of mass m = 0.50 kg is pressed against the spring and compresses it a distance d , as in Figure P7.76. The block (initially at rest) is then released and travels toward a circular loop-the-loop of radius R = 1.5 m. The entire track and the loop-the-loop are frictionless, except for the section of track between points A and B Given that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the track along AB is μk 5 0.30, and that the length of AB is 2.5 m, determine the minimum compression d of the spring that enables the block to just make it through the loop-the-loop at point C. Hint: The force exerted by the track on the block will be zero if the block barely makes it through the loop-the-loop.arrow_forward

A 500-gram scoop of uniformly-dense ice cream falls onto the turntable, so the scoop's center of mass is one meter away from the turntable's center. The scoop forms a hemisphere and has a radius of 4 cm. If there's no friction between the brick and ice cream scoop and they spin at the same angular speed, what is their final angular speed, in rev/min or in rad/s? Justify your answer with your rationale and equations used.

The disk slides on a horizontal table with negligible friction at speed v = 80.0 cm/s, and the radius of its circular path is r. = 36.0 cm. The string passes a small hole in the table and is initially held in place. The string is then slowly pulled downward a distance of 12.0 cm. How much work (in J) is done on the disk? O Need Help?
