Refer to the diagram shown below.

Let x  =  distance of the base of the ladder from the base of the hill.

By definition,
sin(75°) = x/15
x = 75*cos(75°) = 3.882 ft

Answer:
The distance between the base of the hill and the base of the ladder is 3.9 ft (nearest tenth)

Chose the word that correctly completes the following sentence: Kirchoff's junction law expresses the conservation of ____. a) m
Radda [10]

Answer:A- mass charge.

This can also be called current.

Explanation:

This is Kirchhoff’s 2nd law.

Kirchhoff’s junction law states that the sum of current(mass charge) flowing in and out of the junction must be equal to zero. This law emphasizes conservation of charge and energy. Charge is also a form of energy and it can neither be created nor destroyed.

The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.320 with the floor. If
mart [117]

Answer:  29.50 m

Explanation: In order to calculate the higher accelation to stop a train  without moving the crates inside the wagon which is traveling at constat speed we have to use the second Newton law so that:

f=μ*N the friction force is equal to coefficient of static friction  multiply the normal force (m*g).

f=m.a=μ*N= m*a= μ*m*g= m*a

then

a=μ*g=0.32*9.8m/s^2= 3.14 m/s^2

With this value we can determine the short distance to stop the train

as follows:

x= vo*t- (a/2)* t^2

Vf=0= vo-a*t then t=vo/a

Finally; x=vo*vo/a-a/2*(vo/a)^2=vo^2/2a= (49*1000/3600)^2/(2*3.14)=29.50 m

Una patinadora de 50 kg parte del reposo y después de recorrer 3k alcanza una velocidad de 15 m/s. ¿Qué fuerza neta experimenta
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

F_{net} = 1.875\,N

Explanation:

Asúmase que la patinadora experimenta una aceleración constante. La fuerza neta experimentada por la patinadora:

F_{net} = (50\,kg)\cdot \left[\frac{\left(15\,\frac{m}{s}\right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s}\right)^{2} }{2\cdot (3000\,m)} \right]

F_{net} = 1.875\,N

Can someone help pleaseeee
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Motion with constant velocity of magnitude 1 m/s (uniform motion) for 4 seconds in a positive direction and then for 2 seconds uniform motion with constant velocity of magnitude 3 m/s in reverse direction .

Explanation:

The graph shows a constant velocity of 1 m/s for 4 seconds in the positive direction. After that, between 4 seconds and 6 seconds, the object reverses its motion with constant velocity of magnitude 3m/s.
