<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

a) 178.6125 Joules

b) Work done does not depend on constant speed or acceleration up the ladder

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Work done =Fd times the cosine of angle between;

where F is force d is distance m is the mass a is acceleration

.F=ma. In this case a=g=9.81 m/s^2 and cos 30=0.866

Therefore;  

W= 75 × 9.81 × 2.75 × .866  

   = 178.6125 Joules

b. The work done by the painter does not depend on whether the painter climbs at constant speed or accelerates up the ladder.

W=3376.945 Joules

Answer:

Work is defined as the movement caused by a force. In the case of someone climbing something, the person is doing force against gravity, so the work needed to lift an object of mass M by a height H is equal to W = MgH where h is the gravity acceleration.

In this case, M = 75kg and we can obtain the height by the Pythagorean theorem, where the ladder is the hypotenuse of a triangle.

If we want to only know the displacement in the y-axis, then we need to compute the adjacent cathetus, this is:

H = 2.75m*cos(30°) = 2.38m

and we know that g= 9.8m/s^2

so we can compute the work and obtain:

W = 2.38m*9.8m/s^2*75kg = 1739,3J

b) work does not depend on the velocity, the fact that he is ascending means that there is a force applied on him that fights against the gravity. Non the less, if there was a force bigger applied to him in the y-direction (which may accelerate him, the previous calculation is thinking that the force done is equal to the gravitational force) the work can be bigger. The work calculated before is the minimal work needed to make him ascend the height H.

If it is completely elastic, you can calculate the velocity of the second ball from the kinetic energy 
<span>v1 = velocity of #1 </span>
<span>v1' = velocity of #1 after collision </span>
<span>v2' = velocity of #2 after collision. </span>

<span>kinetic energy: v1^2 = v1' ^2 + v2' ^2 (1/2 and m cancel out) </span>
<span>5^2 = 4.35^2 + v2' ^2 </span>
<span>v2 = 2.46 m/s <--- ANSWER</span>

A long solenoid with 1.65 103 turns per meter and radius 2.00 cm carries an oscillating current I = 6.00 sin 90πt, where I is in
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The  electric field  is 35\cos(90\pi t)\ mV/m

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 2.00 cm

Number of turns per unit length n= 1.65\times10^{3}

Current I = 6.00\sin 90\pi t

We need to calculate the induced emf

\epsilon =\mu_{0}nA\dfrac{dI}{dt}

Where, n = number of turns per unit length

A = area of cross section

\dfrac{dI}{dt}=rate of current

Formula of electric field is defined as,

E=\dfrac{\epsilon}{2\pi r}

Where, r = radius

Put the value of emf in equation (I)

E=\dfrac{\mu_{0}nA\dfrac{dI}{dt}}{2\pi r}....(II)

We need to calculate the rate of current

I=6.00\sin 90\pi t....(III)

On differentiating equation (III)

\dfrac{dI}{dt}=90\pi\times6.00\cos(90\pi t)

Now, put the value of rate of current in equation (II)

E=\dfrac{4\pi\times10^{-7}\times1.65\times10^{3}\times\pi\times(2.00\times10^{-2})^2\times90\pi\times6.00\cos(90\pi t)}{2\pi\times 2.00\times10^{-2}}

E=35\cos(90\pi t)\ mV/m

Hence, The  electric field  is 35\cos(90\pi t)\ mV/m
