A 5 meter long ladder leans against a wall. The bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall at the constant rate of 1 3 m/s.

How fast is the angle θ between the ground and the ladder changing when the bottom of the ladder is is 3 meters from the wall?

Answer:9.75 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Length of ladder $(L)=5 m$

Foot the ladder is moving away with speed of $\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=13 m/s$

From diagram

$x^2+y^2=L^2$ ------1

at $x=3$

$y^2=25-9=16$

$y=4 m$

Now differentiating equation 1 w.r.t time

$2x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}+2y\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=0$

$x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=-y\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$3\times 13=-4\times \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=-\frac{3\times 13}{4}=-9.75 m/s$

negative indicates distance is decreasing with time

Answer:

$v=d\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we can do an analysis of the energies involved in the system. Basically the addition of the initial potential energy of the spring and the kinetic energy of the mass should be the same as the addition of the final potential energy of the spring and the kinetic energy of the block. So we get the following equation:

$U_{0}+K_{0}=U_{f}+K_{f}$

In this case, since the block is moving from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero. When the block loses contact with the spring, the final potential energy of the spring will be zero, so the equation simplifies to:

$U_{0}=K_{f}$

The initial potential energy of the spring is given by the equation:

$U_{0}=\frac{1}{2}kd^{2}$

the Kinetic energy of the block is then given by the equation:

$K_{f}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{f}^{2}$

so we can now set them both equal to each other, so we get:

$=\frac{1}{2}kd^{2}=\frac{1}{2}mv_{f}^{2}$

This new equation can be simplified if we multiplied both sides of the equation by a 2, so we get:

$kd^{2}=mv_{f}^{2}$

so now we can solve this for the final velocity, so we get:

$v=d\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

On a clear day at a certain location, a 119-V/m vertical electric field exists near the Earth's surface. At the same place, the

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

(a) 62.69 nJ/m^3

(b) 1015.22 μJ/m^3

Explanation:

Electric field, E = 119 V/m

Magnetic field, B = 5.050 x 10^-5 T

(a) Energy density of electric field = $\frac{1}{2}\varepsilon _{0}E^{2}$

$=\frac{1}{2}\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}\times 119\times 119$

= 6.269 x 10^-8 J/m^3 = 62.69 nJ/m^3

(b) energy density of magnetic field = $\frac{B^{2}}{2\mu _{0}}$

$=\frac{\left ( 5.05\times 10^{-5} \right )^{2}}{2\times 4\times 3.14\times 10^{-7}}$

= 1.01522 x 10^-3 J/m^3 = 1015.22 μJ/m^3

You have a bowling ball with a mass of 4kg. You throw it with an acceleration of 10 m/s/s. With how much force will it hit the p

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 40 N</h3>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object can be found by using the formula

<h3>force = mass × acceleration</h3>

From the question

mass = 4 kg

acceleration = 10 m/s²

So we have

force = 4 × 10

We have the final answer as

<h3>40 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
