As it pulls itself up to a branch, a chimpanzee accelerates upward at 2.2 m/s2 at the instant it exerts a 260-N force downward on the branch. The situation is shown in Figure 5-43.(a) In what direction is (i) the force the branch exerts on the chimpanzee; (ii) the force the tree exerts on the branch; and (iii) the force the chimpanzee exerts on the Earth? (b) Find the magnitude of the force the chimpanzee exerts on the Earth.

- Why is the following situation impossible? A 1.30-kg toaster is not plugged in. The coefficient of static friction between the toaster and a horizontal countertop is 0.350. To make the toaster start moving, you carelessly pull on its electric cord. Unfortunately, the cord has become frayed from your previous similar actions and will break if the tension in the cord exceeds 4.00 N. By pulling on the cord at a particular angle, you successfully start the toaster moving without breaking the cord.arrow_forwardIf a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the objects velocity is a linear function of time. The equation v = vi + at gives its velocity v as a function of time, where a is its constant acceleration. What if velocity is instead a linear function of position? Assume that as a particular object moves through a resistive medium, its speed decreases as described by the equation v = vi kx, where k is a constant coefficient and x is the position of the object. Find the law describing the total force acting on this object.arrow_forwardA 3.00-kg object is moving in a plane, with its x and y coordinates given by x = 5t2 1 and y = 3t3 + 2, where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds.

The first child exerts a force of F,| = 11.0 N at an angle 01 = 45.0° counterclockwise from the positive x direction. The second child exerts a force of |F2| = 6.00 N at an angle 02 = 30.0° clockwise from the positive x direction.

- A woman exerts a constant horizontal force on a large box. As a result, the box moves across a horizontal floor at a constant speed "v0". The constant horizontal force applied by the woman: has the same magnitude as the weight of the box. is greater than the weight of the box. has the same magnitude as the total force which resists the motion of the box. is greater than the total force which resists the motion of the box. is greater than either the weight of the box or the total force which resists its motion. If the woman in the previous question doubles the constant horizontal force that she exerts on the box to push it on the same horizontal floor, the box then moves: with a constant speed that is double the speed "v0" in the previous question. with a constant speed that is greater than the speed "v0" in the previous question, but not necessarily twice as great. for a while with a speed that is constant and greater than the speed "v0" in the previous question, then with a speed…arrow_forwardPlease answer fast- Physics A crate of milk chocolate is being moved up a 63° ramp as shown.
