A 5.00-m-long uniform ladder, weighing 200 N, rests against a smooth vertical wall with its base on a horizontal rough floor, a

distance of 1.20 m away from the wall. The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the floor is 0.200. How far up the ladder, measured along the ladder, can a 600-N person climb before the ladder begins to slip

Answer:

0.488  m  

Explanation:

If θ be the angle ladder makes with the plane

cos θ = 1.2 / 5

Tan θ = 4.04

Let the height a person of weight 600 N  can climb be h from the ground .

Distance from the base point  where ladder touches the floor  = h / tanθ

= h / 4.04

Total reaction force = total downward force

R = 200 + 600

800 N

Frictional force = μ R

= .2 x 800

= 160 N

Taking moment of force about the point on the ladder  where it  touches the floor  and balancing them

200 x 1.2 x .5 + 600 x   h / tanθ  = μ R x  1.2 / tanθ ( reaction  at the top point of ladder where it touches the wall is  R₁ and

R₁ =μ R   )

= 200 x 1.2 x .5 + 600 x   h / tanθ  = 160 x 1.2 / tanθ

120  - 600 h / 4.04 = 47.52

120 - 47.52 = 600 h / 4.04

72.48= 148.51 h

h = 0.488  m  

=

The wave function of a particle is exp(i(kx-omegat)), where x is distance, t is time, and k and co are positive real numbers. Th
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Momentum, p=\hbar k

Explanation:

The wave function of a particle is given by :

y=exp[i(kx-\omega t)]...............(1)

Where

x is the distance travelled

t is the time taken

k is the propagation constant

\omega is the angular frequency

The relation between the momentum and wavelength is given by :

p=\dfrac{h}{\lambda}............(2)

From equation (1),

k=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

\lambda=\dfrac{2\pi}{k}

Use above equation in equation (2) as :

p=\dfrac{h k}{2\pi }

Since, \dfrac{h}{2\pi}=\hbar

p=\hbar k

So, the x-component of the momentum of the particle is \hbar k. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is wrong with the following statement: When you exert a force on a baseball, the equal and opposite force on the ball balan
gregori [183]

Answer:

When you exert a force on a baseball, there exists an equal and opposite force on the ball therefore, the ball will accelerate in opposite direction.

Explanation:

When you hit a ball with baseball bat, the bat exerts a great force on the ball which causes the ball to accelerate in the opposite direction. It is to be noted that the mass of bat is much greater than mass of ball but the acceleration of ball is also greater than the acceleration of the bat so both bat and ball almost exert same magnitude of force but in opposite direction and as a result both bat and ball accelerate in opposite direction, the deciding factor is of course the relative force applied by the batter and the bowler.
