Physics
1 answer:
andriy [413]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Assuming the wall is frictionless, there are four forces acting on the ladder.

Weight pulling down at the center of the ladder (mg).

Reaction force pushing to the left at the wall (Rw).

Reaction force pushing up at the foot of the ladder (Rf).

Friction force pushing to the right at the foot of the ladder (Ff).

(a) Calculate the reaction force at the wall.

Take the sum of the moments about the foot of the ladder.

∑τ = Iα

Rw (3.0 sin 60°) − mg (1.5 cos 60°) = 0

Rw (3.0 sin 60°) = mg (1.5 cos 60°)

Rw = mg / (2 tan 60°)

Rw = (10 kg) (9.8 m/s²) / (2√3)

Rw = 28 N

(b) State the friction at the foot of the ladder.

Take the sum of the forces in the x direction.

∑F = ma

Ff − Rw = 0

Ff = Rw

Ff = 28 N

(c) State the reaction at the foot of the ladder.

Take the sum of the forces in the y direction.

∑F = ma

Rf − mg = 0

Rf = mg

Rf = 98 N

If 478 watts of power are used in 14 seconds,how much work was done
zepelin [54]

Answer:

6692J

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate at which work is being done.

So,

    Power  = \frac{workdone}{time }  

  Work done  = Power x time

Given parameters:

Power  = 478watts

Time  = 14s

So;

 Work done  = 478 x 14  = 6692J

What is the net force at the equilibrium point? Derive an equation for the location of the equilibrium point based on the accele
Vitek1552 [10]

To find a general equilibrium point for a spring based on the hook law, it is possible to start from the following premise:

Hook's law is given by:

F = k\Delta X

Where,

k= Spring Constant

\Delta X = Change in Length

F = Force

When there is a Mass we have two force acting at the System:

W= mg

Where W is the force product of the weigth. Then the force net can be defined as,

F_{net} = F+W

But we have a system in equilibrium, so

0 = K\Delta X -mg

We find the equilibrium for any location when

\Delta X = \frac{mg}{k}

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

KE = 1/2mv^2

KE = 1/2(24)(3^2)

KE = 12(9)

KE = 108 J

Let me know if this helps!
