A uniform ladder 5.0 m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.0 m from the wall. The ladder weigh

s 160 N. The coefficient of static friction between the foot of the ladder and the ground is 0.40. A man weighing 740 N climbs slowly up the ladder. Start by drawing a free-body diagram of the ladder.
(a) What is the maximum friction force that the ground can exert on the ladder at its lower end?
(b) What is the actual friction force when the man has climbed 1.0 m along the ladder?
(c) How far along the ladder can the man climb before the ladder starts to slip?

Answer:(a)360N,(b)171N,(c)2.702m

Explanation:

(a)Maximum Friction Force =\mu \left ( N\right )=0.4\times \left ( 740+160\right )

=360 N

cos\theta =\frac{3}{5}

sin\theta =\frac{4}{5}

(b)Moment about Ground Point

740\times 1\times cos\theta +2.5\times 160\times cos\theta -N_15sin\theta

N_1tan\theta =1140

N_1=171 N

N_1=f=171 N

(c)

740\times x\times cos\theta +2.5\times 160\times cos\theta -N_15sin\theta

Here maximum friction force can be 360 N

Therefore N_1=360 N

Where x is the maximum distance moved by man along the ladder

360\times 5\times \frac{4}{3}=740x+160\times 2.5

740x=2000

x=2.702m

Sauron [17]
They have different accelerations because of their masses. According to Newton's Second Law, an objects acceleration is inversely proportional to its mass. Therefore the object with the larger mass, in this case the gun, will have a smaller acceleration. In the same way, the less massive object, being the bullet, will have a higher acceleration.

Hope this helps :)

A stone with a mass m is dropped from an airplane that has a horizontal velocity v at a height h above a lake. If air resistance
seropon [69]

Answer: Option B. R = (1/2)gt^2

Explanation:

S = R (horizontal distance)

V^2 = 2gS

V^2 = 2gR

R = V^2 / 2g

But V = gt

R = (gt)^2 / 2g

R = (g^2 x t^2) / 2g

R = gt^2 / 2

But t^2 = 2h/g

R = ( g x 2h/g) / 2

R = h

But h = (1/2)gt^2

R = h = (1/2)gt^2

vlada-n [284]
Given:
1st run: 20 meters North
2nd run: 15 meters East
time: 15 seconds

Average speed = total distance covered / total time taken
Ave. Speed = (20m + 15m) / 15s
Ave. Speed = 35m / 15s
Ave. Speed = 2 1/3  meters per second
