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

Take the sum of the forces in the y direction.

∑F = ma

Rf − mg = 0

Rf = mg

Rf = 98 N

A car travels from point A to point B, moving in the same direction but with a non-constant speed. The first half of the distanc

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

From A to B

distance traveled with velocity $v_1$ in time $t_1$

$\frac{d}{2}=v_1t_1----1$

from B to C

distance traveled is 0.5 d with $v_2$ and $v_3$ velocity for half-half time

$\frac{d}{2}=\frac{v_2t_2}{2}+\frac{v_3t_3}{2}----2$

divide 1 and 2 we get

$\frac{1}{1}=\frac{2v_1t_1}{v_2t_2+v_3t_3}$

$\frac{t_1}{t_2}=\frac{v_2+v_3}{2v_1}$

Now average velocity is given by

$v_{avg}=\frac{d}{t_1+t_2}$

taking $t_1$ common

$v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1t_1}{t_1(1+\frac{t_2}{t_1})}$

$v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1}{1+\frac{2v_1}{v_2+v_3}}$

$v_{avg}=\frac{2v_1(v_2+v_3)}{2v_1+v_2+v_3}$

What is the average de Broglie wavelength of oxygen molecules in air at a temperature of 27°C? Use the results of the kinetic th

asambeis [7]

Answer:

$\lambda = 2.57 \times 10^{-11} m$

Explanation:

Average velocity of oxygen molecule at given temperature is

$v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}$

now we have

M = 32 g/mol = 0.032 kg/mol

T = 27 degree C = 300 K

now we have

$v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3(8.31)(300)}{0.032}$

$v_{rms} = 483.4 m/s$

now for de Broglie wavelength we know that

$\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}$

$\lambda = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{(5.31\times 10^{-26})(483.4)}$

$\lambda = 2.57 \times 10^{-11} m$

Both objects A and D represent fixed, negatively-charged particles of equal magnitude and Object B represents a fixed, positivel

Kipish [7]

Answer:

Option A = 1.

Explanation:

So, in order to solve this question we are given the Important infomation or data or parameters in the question above as;

(1). First, Both objects A and D represent fixed.

(2). Both objects A and D are negatively-charged particles of equal magnitude.

(3). "Object B represents a fixed, positively-charged particle (equal, but opposite charge from A and D)."

(4). "Object C shows a moving, positively-charged particle."

So, our mission is to determine the arrow that would correctly show the force of attraction or repulsion on object C caused by the other two objects.

We can do that by drawing out the forces of attraction and the resultants. Therefore, CHECK THE ATTACHED FILE/PICTURE FOR THE DRAWINGS.

The forces of attraction due to objects A and B on on object C will be towards themselves. Hence, the resultant is ONE(1).
