A uniform ladder 5.0 m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.0 m from the wall. The ladder weigh

s 160 N. The coefficient of static friction between the foot of the ladder and the ground is 0.40. A man weighing 740 N climbs slowly up the ladder. (a) What is the maximum friction force that the ground can exert on the ladder at its lower end? (b) What is the actual friction force when the man has climbed 1.0 m along the ladder? (c) How far along the ladder can the man climb before the ladder starts to slip?

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Reaction force of the ground

R = mg

= 160 N

Maximum friction force possible

= μ x R

= μ x 160

= .4 x 160

= 64 N .

b )

 160 N will act at middle point . 740N will act at distance of 3 / 5 m from the wall ,

Taking moment about top point of ladder

160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3/5 + f x 4 = 900 x 3

240 + 444 + 4f = 2700

f = 504 N

c )

Let x be the required distance.  

Taking moment about top point of ladder

160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3 x / 5 + .4 x 900 x 4  = 900 x 3  ( .4 x 900 is the maximum friction possible )

240 + 444 x + 1440  = 2700

x = 2.3  m

so man can go upto 2.3 at which maximum friction acts .

A charged ball is moving horizontally and perpendicular to a magnetic field of 0.8 Tesla. The ball has a mass of 0.007 kg and ha
goblinko [34]

Answer:

17.15 m/s

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Magnetic field, B = 0.8 T

Mass of ball, m = 0.007 kg

Charge of ball, q = 0.005 C

The magnetic force acting on the charged ball due to the magnetic field is given as:

F = qvBsinθ

where v = velocity of the ball and θ = angle between the horizontal and the magnetic field = 90°

The force of the ball will be in the opposite direction but of equal magnitude:

F_b = -qvBsin(90) = -qvB

To cancel out the effect of gravity, the magnetic force must be equal to the gravitational force acting on the ball:

F = mg

Therefore:

mg = -qvB

Solving for velocity, v, we have:

v = \frac{mg}{-qB}

v = \frac{0.007 * 9.8}{-(-0.005) * 0.8}

v = 17.15 m/s

The ball must be moving at a velocity of 17.15 m/s.

True or false: Displacement is the total path traveled by an object
amm1812

Answer:true

Explanation:

Displacement is the vector representation of a change in position. It is path independent and is equivalent to the straight line distance between the start and end locations. Distance is a scalar quantity that reflects the path traveled.

How are balanced & unbalanced forces related to net force?
Levart [38]

Answer:

An unbalanced force (net force) acting on an object changes its speed and/or direction of motion. ... A net force = unbalanced force. If however, the forces are balanced (in equilibrium) and there is no net force, the object will not accelerate and the velocity will remain constant.
