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

Imagine that the ball on the left is given a nonzero initial velocity in the horizontal direction, while the ball on the right c
masya89 [10]

Answer:

vₓ = xg/2y

Explanation:

In this question, let us  find the time it takes for the ball on the right that has zero initial velocity to reach the ground.

By newton equation of motion we know that

y = v₀ t - ½ g t²

t = 2y / g

This is the time it takes for the ball on the right to reach the ground; at this time the ball on the left travels a distance

vₓ = x/t

vₓ = xg/2y

vₓ = xg/2y

Where we assume that x and y are known.

A(n) 71.1 kg astronaut becomes separated from the shuttle, while on a space walk. She finds herself 70.2 m away from the shuttle
denpristay [2]

Answer:

10.347 minutes.

Explanation:

According to F = ma, she exerts force on camera of the magnitude

F = 0.67Kg*12m/s^{2} = 8.04N, assuming it took her one second to accelerate camera to 12m/s, then by newtons third law, which says every action has equal and opposite reaction , the camera exerts the same amount of force on the astronaut which gives her acceleration of a = \frac{8.04N}{70.2Kg} = 0.1130801680m/s^2.

and velocity of V = 0.1130801680m/s.

at this velocity , the astronaut has to cover the distance of 70.2 meters, it will take her 620.7985075s = 10.347 min to get to the shuttle (using S = vt).

A planar electromagnetic wave is propagating in the +x direction. At a certain point P and at a given instant, the electric fiel
jeka94

Answer:

B=2.74\times 10^{-10}\ T

Explanation:

It is given that,

A planar electromagnetic wave is propagating in the +x direction.The electric field at a certain point is, E = 0.082 V/m

We need to find the magnetic vector of the wave at the point P at that instant.

The relation between electric field and magnetic field is given by :

c=\dfrac{E}{B}

c is speed of light

B is magnetic field

B=\dfrac{E}{c}\\\\B=\dfrac{0.082}{3\times 10^8}\\\\B=2.74\times 10^{-10}\ T

So, the magnetic vector at point P at that instant is 2.74\times 10^{-10}\ T.
