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)

You want to make a photo album for your friend. In three to five sentences, describe at least one advantage and one disadvantage
Eddi Din [679]
If you are choosing to get a digital photo album it can come with the advantages like, it’s more economically friendly because you’re not having to print out pictures. But it’s disadvantage is that you can lose it easily or accidentally delete it some way. You also have a choice of a physical photo album, it’s advantages are that you won’t lose it as easily and they might last longer than a digital one’s. It’s disadvantage though is that with all the pictures and the book to keep the pictures in takes a lot from the economy. A solution to the digital photo album is to save in on a hard drive or something like that so you can keep it without having to worry about it being deleted as easily. The solution with the physical photo album is that you could get a photo holder that you can slide picture into pockets because it will keep the pictures from damage as well as using less paper products.


you can read over it and change things i might have done wrong and if i completely missed the point of this i’m sorry and hope you have a good day/night. (also it’s 6 sentences)

A block of mass m = 2.0 kg lies on a rough ramp that is inclined at an angle θ = 20oto the horizontal. A force F of magnitude 5.
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

a) 0.64 b) 2.17m/s^2 c) 8.668joules

Explanation:

The block was on the ramp, the ramp was inclined at 20degree. A force of 5N was acting horizontal to the but not parallel to the ramp,

Frictional force = horizontal component of the weight of the block along the ramp + the applied force since the block was just about move

Frictional force = mgsin20o + 5N = 6.71+5N = 11.71

The force of normal = the vertical component of the weight of the block =mgcos20o = 18.44

Coefficient of static friction = 11.71/18.44= 0.64

Remember that g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81m/s^2) and m = mass (2kg)

b) coefficient of kinetic friction = frictional force/ normal force

Fr = 0.4* mgcos 20o = 7.375N

F due to motion = ma = total force - frictional force

Ma = 11.71 - 7.375 = 4.335

a= 4.335/2(mass of the block) = 2.17m/s^2

C) work done = net force *distance = 4.335*2= 8.67Joules

What is the mass of .5 newtons(N)?
ddd [48]

Since the mass is 5 grams the acceleration is: 4000 m/s^2

But if the mass is 5 Kilograms the acceleration is: 4 m/s^2
