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

If the resistance of a circuit increases, that means that the current has to
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

If resistance increases current decreases.

Explanation:

  • Current is <em>inversely proportional</em> to the resistance.
  • from the relation given below, we can clearly see the relation between current and resistance;

                              V=IR

                              I ∝ 1/R

This relation shows that when resistance increases,current decreases.

Why are we mentley unstable to time travle
leva [86]

Answer:

Mental time travel has been studied by psychologists, cognitive neuroscientists, philosophers and in a variety of other academic disciplines. Major areas of interest include the nature of the relationship between memory and foresight, the evolution of the ability (including whether it is uniquely human or shared with other animals), its development in young children, its underlying brain mechanisms, as well as its potential links to consciousness, the self, and free will.

If a cart goes around a turn at 20 km/h ,what remains constant
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: 4.speed

Explanation:

In this case, we know that the cart remains at a constant 20km/h.

Now, one could say that "the velocity remains constant, because it always is 20km/h"

But remember that velocity is a vector, so this has a direction, and if the cart is going around a turn, then the direction of motion is changing, which tell us that there is acceleration.

But the module of the velocity, the speed, remains constant at 20km/h.

Then the correct option is 4, speed.

What is the tangential velocity of a record player which makes 11 revolutions in 20 seconds?
slava [35]

Answer:

The tangential velocity of a rotating object is:

v = r*w

where r is the radius, and w is the angular velocity.

w = 2*pi*f

where f is the frequency.

We know that the record plater does 11 revolutions in 20 seconds, then it does:

11 rev/20s = 0.55 rev/s = f

then we have:

w = 2*pi*0.55 s^-1 = 2*3.14*0.55 s^-1 = 3.454 s^-1

The radius of a record player is really variable, it is around 10 inches, so i will use r = 10in, which is the rotating part of the record player.

then the tangential velocity is:

v = 10in*3.454 s^-1 = 34.54 in/s
