Answer:

 μ = 0.336

Explanation:

We will work on this exercise with the expressions of transactional and rotational equilibrium.

Let's start with rotational balance, for this we set a reference system at the top of the ladder, where it touches the wall and we will assign as positive the anti-clockwise direction of rotation

          fr L sin θ - W L / 2 cos θ - W_painter 0.3 L cos θ  = 0

          fr sin θ  - cos θ  (W / 2 + 0,3 W_painter) = 0

          fr = cotan θ  (W / 2 + 0,3 W_painter)

Now let's write the equilibrium translation equation

     

X axis

        F1 - fr = 0

        F1 = fr

the friction force has the expression

       fr = μ N

Y Axis

       N - W - W_painter = 0

       N = W + W_painter

       

we substitute

      fr = μ (W + W_painter)

we substitute in the endowment equilibrium equation

     μ (W + W_painter) = cotan θ  (W / 2 + 0,3 W_painter)

      μ = cotan θ (W / 2 + 0,3 W_painter) / (W + W_painter)

we substitute the values ​​they give

      μ = cotan θ  (12/2 + 0.3 55) / (12 + 55)

      μ = cotan θ  (22.5 / 67)

      μ = cotan tea (0.336)

To finish the problem, we must indicate the angle of the staircase or catcher data to find the angle, if we assume that the angle is tea = 45

       cotan 45 = 1 / tan 45 = 1

the result is

    μ = 0.336

An acorn falls from a tree and hits the ground in 0.8 s. How far did the acorn fall . Use g = 9.8 m/s^2. Round your final result
mylen [45]

The distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The time taken for the acorn to hit the ground is 0.8 s. As it is a free fall, the acorn will be completely under the influence of gravity. So the acceleration will be acceleration due to gravity.

Then using the second law of equation,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Since the initial velocity and time is zero, then the time taken to reach the ground is stated as 0.8 s, so

   s=0+\left(\frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times 0.8 \times 0.8\right)=\frac{6.272}{2}=3.136 \mathrm{m}

So the distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.

Atoms of elements at the top of a group on the periodic table are smaller than the atoms of elements at the bottom of the group.
serg [7]
Well formation of metallic bond depends on free electrons.smaal sized atoms hold their electrons more firmly as compared to large size atoms ,this z due to distance of outer shell electrons by nucleus..in this way no of free electrons affect strength of metallic bond..smaal sized atoms release less free electrons..
