A 6 m long, uniform ladder leans against a frictionless wall and makes an angle of 74.3 ◦ with the floor. The ladder has a mass

25.8 kg. A 67.08 kg man climbs 82% of the way to the top of the ladder when it slips and falls to the floor. What is the coefficient of static friction be- tween the ladder and the floor?

Answer: µ=0.205

Explanation:

The horizontal forces acting on the ladder are the friction(f) at the floor and the normal force (Fw) at the wall. For horizontal equilibrium,

f=Fw

The sum of the moments about the base of the ladder Is 0

ΣM = 0 = Fw*L*sin74.3º - (25.8kg*(L/2) + 67.08kg*0.82L)*cos74.3º*9.8m/s²

Note that it doesn't matter WHAT the length of the ladder is -- it cancels.

Solve this for Fw.

0= 0.9637FwL - (67.91L)2.652

Fw=180.1/0.9637

Fw=186.87N

f=186.81N

Since Fw=f

We know Fw, so we know f.

But f = µ*Fn

where Fn is the normal force at the floor --

Fn = (25.8 + 67.08)kg * 9.8m/s² =

910.22N

so

µ = f / Fn

186.81/910.22

µ= 0.205

Meteoroids are small objects in space, usually made of rock or metal. These bodies often get close to a planet and fall through
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

1. A burning streak of light, called a Meteor.

2.The rocky bodies that survives the fall to the planet’s surface are Meteorites.

Explanation:

Let us see the difference between them.  

  1. Asteroids: They are the remnants of a broken planet orbiting the sun in between Mars and Saturn.  They are small rocky bodies from a tennis ball size to larger ones weighing a few tones.
  2. Meteoroids: They are the small rocky objects of pebble size formed due to the collision of asteroids.
  3. Meteors: These are pebble size objects that enter Earth's atmosphere and burns off by forming streaks of light.
  4. Meteorites: These are rocky objects bigger than meteors than don't burn out completely and fall on the earth's surface.
  5. Comets:  These are objects mainly made of dust and ice that orbit the sun in a highly elliptical orbit. This composition makes a long tail when approaching the sun.

tekilochka [14]

Explanation:

ا: قد يكون وراء هذه الظاهرة ميول وراثية، والتي تتسبب في صدور ردود فعل غير منتظمة في أماكن مختلفة معينة في الدماغ. تكون ردود الفعل هذه مسؤولة عن ظهور العلامات التي تميز العلامات المرافقة التي تظهر عند المرور في ظروف القلق.

ب: ان الفرضية السائدة والأساسية هنا، تقضي بأن العُصاب يظهر كردة فعلِ لفشل المنظومة النفسية الداخلية، في التأقلم مع القلق النابع من معاناة نفسية كبيرة. أو قد تنجم عن فشل المنظومة النفسية الداخلية في التأقلم مع الظروف الرضحية (التراجيدية) الخارجية والمحيطة.

ج:قد تظهر اضطرابات العُصابية من مزج بين تأثير التجارب الرضحية عند الطفولة، مع أسلوب الحياة المعاصر، والذي يتميز بوجود الإجهاد النفسي وبضعف الثقة بالمقومات الشخصية، الاجتماعية والاقتصادية
