uniform ladder of length 6.0 m and weight 300 N leans against a frictionless vertical wall. The foot of the ladder isplaced 3.0

olganol [36]

Answer:

Fx1 (6 m) sin 60 = 300 (3 m) cos 60 balancing torques about floor

Fx1 = 900 * 1/2 / 5.20 = 86.6 N this is the horizontal force that must be supplied by the wall to balance torques about the floor

This is also equal to the static force of friction that must be applied at the point of contact with the floor to balance forces in the x-direction.

Fx1 = Fx2 = 86.6 N

If the Sun were scaled down to the size of a grapefruit, about how far would you have to walk from our classroom to reach Alpha

Burka [1]

Answer:

2000 miles.

Explanation:

It's the Colorado scale model, in which sun is taken as the grapefruit and the distances are measured for different planets with respect to sun just for understanding.

The drawing shows two situations in which charges are placed on the x and y axes. They are all located at the same distance of 5

ra1l [238]

Answer:

For situation (a)

net charge E = E₊₂ + E₋₅ + E₋₃

E = K(q/d²)

where K = 8.99e9

d = 5.7cm = 5.7e-2m

Therefore,

E₊₂(x) = K(q/d²) = (8.99e9)× ((2.0e-6)÷(5.7e-2)) = 3.15e5(+x)

E₋₅(y) = K(q/d²) = (8.99e9)× ((5.0e-6)÷(5.7e-2)) = 7.88e5(+y)

E₋₃(x) = K(q/d²) = (8.99e9)× ((3.0e6)÷(5.7e-2)) = 4.73e5(+x)

thus

E = E₊₂ + E₋₅ + E₋₃

= 3.15e5(x) + 7.88e5(y) + 4.73e6(x)

= 7.88e6(x) + 7.88e6(y)

use Pythagorean theorem

I <em>E </em>I = $\sqrt{(7.89e5)^{2} + (7.89e5)^{2}}$ = 1.242e6 $\frac{N}{C}$

∅ = $tan^{-1}$ $(\frac{7.88e5}{7.88e5} )$ = $tan^{-1}(1)$ = 45°

Thus for (a) net magnitude = 1.115e6 $\frac{N}{C}$ @ 45° above +x axis

for situation (b)

net charge E = E₊₄ + E₊₁ + E₋₁ + E₊₆

E₊₄(x) = K(q/d²) = (8.99e9)× ((4.0e-6)÷(5.7e-2)) = 6.30e5(+x)

E₊₁(y) = K(q/d²) = (8.99e9)× ((1.0e-6)÷(5.7e-2)) = 1.58e5(-y)

E₋₁(x) = K(q/d²) = (8.99e9)× ((1.0e-6)÷(5.7e-2)) = 1.58e5(+x)

E₊₆(y) = K(q/d²) = (8.99e9)× ((6.0e-6)÷(5.7e-2)) = 9.46e5(+y)

thus,

E = E₊₄ + E₊₁ + E₋₁ + E₊₆

= 6.30e5(x) - 1.58e5(y) + 1.58e5(x) + 9.46e5(y)

= 7.88e5(x) + 7.88e5(y)

use Pythagorean theorem

I <em>E </em>I = $\sqrt{(7.88e5)^{2} + (7.88e5)^{2}}$ = 1.242e6 $\frac{N}{C}$

∅ = $tan^{-1}$ $(\frac{7.88e5}{7.88e5} )$ = $tan^{-1}(1)$ = 45°

Thus for (a) and (b) the net magnitude = 1.242e6 $\frac{N}{C}$ @ 45° above +x axis

Why is thermal energy from the Sun transferred to Earth through electromagnetic waves instead of any other type of thermal energ

liq [111]

Answer:

Because electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space

Explanation:

The energy that is emitted from the sun is transferred to the earth in the form of radioactive waves. These waves are originated due to the vibration between the electric and magnetic fields. As this energy reaches the earth, it warms the earth's atmosphere, resulting in the transfer of heat energy in three possible ways namely the conduction, convection, and radiation.

This electromagnetic waves do not require any matter for the transmission of energy, and can easily travel in empty space from the core of the sun to the earth and other nearby planets. Whereas other types of waves cannot travel in space, so it is transferred in the form of electromagnetic waves only.
