A 26-foot ladder is placed against a wall. If the top of the ladder is sliding down the wall at -2 feet per second (note that th

e rate is negative because the height is decreasing). At what rate is the bottom of the ladder moving away from the wall when the bottom of the ladder is 10 feet away from the wall?

Answer:

Dx/dt  = 4,8 f/s

Explanation:

The ladder placed against a wall, and the ground formed a right triangle

with x and h the legs and L the hypothenuse

Then

L² = x² + h²          (1)

L = 26 f

Taking differentials on both sides of the equation we get

0  = 2x Dx/dt  + 2h Dh/dt    (1)

In this equation

x = 10   distance between the bottom of the ladder and the when we need to find, the rate of the ladder moving away from the wall

Dx/dt is the rate we are looking for

h = ?    The height of the ladder when  x = 10

As    L²  =  x²  + h²

h²  =  L²  -  x²

h²  =  (26)²  - (10)²

h²  =  676  -  100

h²  = 576

h = 24 f

Then equation (1)

0  = 2x Dx/dt  + 2h Dh/dt

2xDx/dt  = -  2h Dh/dt

10 Dx/dt  = - 24 ( -2 )      ( Note the movement of the ladder is downwards)

Dx/dt  =  48/10

Dx/dt  = 4,8 f/s

sweet [91]

Answer:

v = 0.489 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of a box, m = 1.5 kg

The compression in the spring, x = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m

Let the spring constant of the spring is 85 N/m

We need to find the velocity of the box (v) when it hit the spring. It is based on the conservation of energy. The kinetic energy of spring before collision is equal to the spring energy after compression i.e.

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{kx^2}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{85\times (0.065)^2}{1.5}} \\\\v=0.489\ m/s

So, the speed of the box is 0.489 m/s.
