Gibbons, small asian apes, move by brachiation, swinging below a handhold to move forward to the next handhold. a 8.7 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 3.7 m/s. what upward force must a branch provide to support the swinging gibbon?

1) when you rub your hands together quickly, the kinetic energy is converted to mechanical energy.2) thermal energy from the sun travels to earth as infrared waves.3) energy is transferred through the matter of space by electromagnetic waves. 4) when a match is burned, chemical potential energy is converted to thermal and radiant energy. 5) seismicwaves are caused by back and forth movement , or vibration, of an object. 6) mechanicalenergy in an engine changes thermal energy into kinetic energy to make a car move.
