Question

need help finding a,b and c A 10 kg monkey is hanging by one arm from a branch and is winging on a vertical circle As an approximation, assume a radial distance of 85 cm between the branch and the point where the monWcySnvm vs located As the monkey swings through the lowest point on the circle, it has a speed of 3. 0 m/s hind W magnitude of the centripetal force acting on the monkey, and the magnitude of the tension arm |BONL'S| Under these conditions would the monkey be able to make a full circle s mg around the branch? A satellite is in a circular orbit about the earth (M = 5. 98 Times 10^24 kg). The period of the satellite T = 1. 20 Times 10^4 s, and the universal gravitation constant is G = 6. 67 Times 10^11 N. m^2/kg^2. what is the speed which the satellite travels? [BONUS] what is the mechanical energy of the satellite?

Explanation / Answer


a)


the magnitude of the centripital force acting on the monkey Centripetal force

F = mv^2/r

F = 10 * 3*3/0.85

F = 105.88 N

-----------------------------------------

b) the magnitude of the tension in the monkey's arm.

Tension = Centripetal force + weight

T = 105.88 + (9.5 * 9.81 10)

T = 199.08 N

---------------------------------------
yes, she makes one full vertcle circle
