The equation is Force = mass times acceleration so:
50 x 9.8 = 490 N

Answer: 490 Newton.

The length of ladder is, <em>l</em> = 3.4 m.

The mass of leah is,m = 50 kg.

The acceleration due to gravity is, <em>g</em> = 9.8 m/s².

When Leah stand on the ladder the force exerted by her on the ladder is equal to her weight.F = W

Weight of leah is,

W=mg=50 \text k \text g \times 9.8 \text m / \text s^2 = 490 \text N

How does the sun's gravity and the earth inertia keep us orbiting in the solar system
scZoUnD [109]
<span>Inertia keeps us orbiting because any object with mass has the tendency to resist changes to their direction and speed of movement. Combine that with the interaction of the gravitational attraction of the sun, and that is what keeps Earth in orbit. The sun’s gravitational force is one that is proportional to Earth’s mass, and it acts in a way that is almost exactly perpendicular to Earth’s motion. This keeps Earth from spinning into the sun or far away from it.</span>

Is a quantum of light or a single packet/particle of light at a given wavelength.
Yanka [14]

Photon is a quantum of light or a single packet/particle of light at a given wavelength.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

It is known that light has dual nature of wave as well as particles. Light waves can behave in wave nature as well as in particle nature depending upon the situation. So the light waves are assumed in different views to easily understand the nature of light waves.

There are several models proposed to simplify the nature of light. Among the several assumptions, one of the most prominent observations are that light waves or quantum of light are termed as photons which are made up of single packet/particles of light in a given wavelength.

A ring, cylinder, solid sphere, and hollow sphere are all released from rest from the same height on an inclined surface, at the
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Explanation:

  • The expression for acceleration of the rolling body on an inclined plane is given as a = gsinФ/1 + k²/R²
  • where Ф is the angle of inclination, R is the radius, k is the radius of gyration.
  • The potential energy of the system is given as ; PE = mgh
  • The potential energy will be constant for ring, cylinder, solid sphere, and hollow sphere.
  • The total kinetic energy of the rolling body is ; KE = mv²/2 + Iw²/2
  • Hence, the total kinetic energy of the ring, cylinder, solid sphere and hollow sphere will be constant.

2. The moment of inertia of the ring is given as ;

I = mR²

The moment of inertia of the ring is maximum and therefore reaches the bottom last.

A baseball is thrown with an initial velocity of 45.4 m/s at an angle of 31.2 ∘ .
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

V (initial vertical velocity) = 45.4 sin 31.2 = 23.52 m/s

1/2 m V^2 = m g h      conservation of energy

h = V^2 / (2 g) = 23.52^2 / 19.6 = 28.2 m       max height

Check:

t = 28.2 / 9.8 = 2.88 sec    time to reach max height

h = 23.52 * 2.88 - 1/2 g 2.88^2 = 27.1 m

A chair of weight 100 N lies atop a horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force of F = 4
otez555 [7]

Answer:

The normal force will be "122.8 N".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Weight,

W = 100 N

Force,

F = 40 N

Angle,

θ = 35.0°

As we know,

⇒  N=W+FSin \theta

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒      = 100N+40N \ Sin \theta

⇒      =100N+22.8

⇒      =122.8 \ N
