Answer:

The horizontal reaction force is 230.3 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length l= 14.0 m

Weight of ladder F = 490 N

Angle = 65°

Weight of firefighter F'= 850 N

Height l'= 4.10 m

Suppose horizontal force magnitude N direction vertical force magnitude N direction

We need to calculate the horizontal reaction force

Horizontal reaction force = normal reaction from wall

Vertical reaction force = weight of ladder +weight of man

F=490+850

F=1340\ N

We need to calculate the moment about bottom is zero

N\times l\sin\theta=F\times\dfrac{l}{2}\cos\theta+F'\times l'\cos\theta

Put the value in the equation

N\times14\sin(65)=490\times7\cos(65)+850\times4.10\cos(65)

N=\dfrac{490\times7\cot(65)+850\times4.10\cot(65)}{14}

N=230.3\ N

Hence, The horizontal reaction force is 230.3 N.

Find the distance traveled by a particle with position (x, y) as t varies in the given time interval. x = 2 sin2(t), y = 2 cos2(
Tanya [424]

The distance traveled by the particle at the given time interval is 0.28 m.

<h3>Position of the particle at time, t = 0</h3>

The position of the particle at the given time is calculated as follows;

x = 2 sin2(t)

y = 2 cos2(t)

x(0) = 2 sin2(0) = 0

y(0) = 2 cos2(0) = 2(1) = 2

<h3>Position of the particle at time, t = 4</h3>

x = 2 sin2(t)

y = 2 cos2(t)

x(4) = 2 sin2(4) = 0.28

y(4) = 2 cos2(4) = 2(1) = 1.98

<h3>Distance traveled by the particle at the given time interval</h3>

d = √[(x₄ - x₀)² + (y₄ - y₀)²]

d =  √[(0.28 - 0)² + (1.98 - 2)²]

d = 0.28 m

Thus, the distance traveled by the particle at the given time interval is 0.28 m.

zmey [24]

The rate at which velocity changes is called acceleration. (Attensity exists when velocity varies.) If a moving object changes speed.

Why does time accelerate the rate at which velocity changes?

A motion's acceleration is the rate at which it changes from one velocity to another. A velocity's rate of change with respect to time is referred to as its acceleration. The amount and direction of acceleration are both properties of a vector quantity.

A change in velocity is known as what?

A velocity change's acceleration is measured. Acceleration is the measure of how quickly a velocity changes with time. The acceleration measure used in SI is M/s2.

weqwewe [10]
Choice-B is the correct one. 

-- The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus.
-- Each proton in the nucleus is usually matched by one electron in the 'cloud'.
-- The addition of a proton OR a neutron increases the mass number by 1 .
-- Electrons have such small mass that they don't figure into the atomic mass at all.
