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

Use the techniques to find the unit for speed​
stellarik [79]

Answer:

The formula for speed is speed=<u>d</u><u>i</u><u>s</u><u>t</u><u>a</u><u>n</u><u>c</u><u>e</u>

time

Explanation:

to work out what the units are for speed,you need to know the units for distance and time.In this example,distance is in metres(m) and time is in seconds (s) , so the units for speed is metre per second (m/s).

three resistors which values of 15 ohm 40 ohm 60 ohm respectively are connected in parallel. what is their equivalent resistance
VashaNatasha [74]

1) Equivalent resistance, 1/R = 1/15 + 1/40 + 1/60 = 8+3+2 /120 = 13/120

R = 120/13 = 9.23

2) Current, I = V/R = 115/9.23 = 12.45 A

Atoms are known to form charges due to their ability to gain and lose electrons in reactions. As a result, atoms
galben [10]

Answer:

C. Fe: 24 electrons

Explanation:

From the analogy given, the atom with a charge of +2 is Fe having 24 electrons.

To calculate the charges on an atom;

     Number of charges = Number of protons - Number of electrons.

   O: 10 electrons: 8 protons = 8 - 10 = -2

   N: 10 electrons; 7 protons = 7 - 10 = -3

   Cl: 18 electrons; 17 protons = 17 - 18 = -1

So;

    Fe: 24 electrons and 26 protons = 26 -24  = +2

Therefore, the solution is Fe

Plz Help me This is all my homework The one is orange is the ones i need help in
IrinaVladis [17]

Convection is the transfer of heat through a fluid

Conduction is the heat or electric current from one substance to another

Radiation is energy that radiated or transmitted

Ex: Convection- A pot of water is being boiled- the heat is being transferred to to the water

Ex2: Conduction- I have a plate filled with hot food- the heat from the food is being transferred to the plate, making the plate hot as well.

Ex3: Radiation- There is a dog by the fire place, the dog is being warmed- the heat from the fire is being transferred over to the dog

Hope this will help you with your homework :)
