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

Why aren’t the Appalachian Mountains still as tall as the Himalayas?
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

mountains are limited in their theoretical height by several processes. First is isostasy: the bigger a mountain gets, the more it weighs down its tectonic plate, so it sinks lower. ... Bottom line: mountains can get taller than Mount Everest in earth gravity, like the Appalachians probably did—but not much taller.

LuckyWell [14K]

Complete Question:

A heat engine with 0.300 mol of a monatomic ideal gas initially fills a 1000 cm3 cylinder at 500 K . The gas goes through the following closed cycle: - Isothermal expansion to 5000 cm3. - Isochoric cooling to 400 K . - Isothermal compression to 1000 cm3. - Isochoric heating to 500 K .

a) what is the work for one cycle

b) what is the thermal efficiency

Answer:

a) Work done for 1 cycle = 402.13

b) Thermal efficiency = 20%

Explanation:

Number of moles, n = 0.300 mol

Initial Volume, V₁ = 1000 cm³

Temperature, T = 500 K

Isothermal expansion to 5000 cm³

Final volume, V₂ = 5000 cm³

R = 8.314 J/ mol.K

Work done, W = nRT ln(V₂/V₁)

W = (0.3 * 8.314 * 500) * ln(5000/1000)

W = 1247.1 * ln5

W₁ = 2007.13 J

Isochoric cooling

In an Isochoric process, volume is constant i.e. V₂ = V₁ = V

W = nRT ln(V/V)

But  ln(V/V) = ln 1 = 0

Work done, W₂ = 0 Joules

Isothermal Compression to 1000 cm³

V₂ = 1000 cm³

V₁ = 5000 cm³

W = nRT ln(V₂/V₁)

W = 0.3 * 8.314 * 400 ln(1000/5000)

W₃ = -1605 J

Isochoric heating to 500 K

Since there is no change in volume, no work is done

W₄ = 0 J

a) Work done for 1 cycle

W = W₁ + W₂ + W₃ + W₄

W = 2007.13 + 0 + 0 -1605+0

W = 402.13 Joules

b) Thermal efficiency

Thermal efficiency = (Net workdone for 1 cycle)/(Heat absorbed)

Heat absorbed = Work done due to thermal expansion = 2007.13 J

Thermal efficiency = 402.13/2007.13

Thermal efficiency = 0.2

Thermal efficiency = 0.2 * 100% = 20 %

Which is worse, failing or never trying?
guapka [62]
Personally I feel that never trying is worse because at least when you fail you know what you need to improve on and that way you at least get some closure. Where as when you never try it you would never know whether or not you were able to do it

A 50.0 Watt stereo emits sound waves isotropically at a wavelength of 0.700 meters. This stereo is stationary, but a person in a
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

a) f' = 432 Hz

b) I = 8.12*10^-4 W/m^2

Explanation:

a) To calculate the frequency of sound waves that car receives, you take into account the Doppler effect. In this case (observer moves away of the source) you have the following formula:

f'=f(\frac{v-v_o}{v+v_s})    (1)

where

f: frequency of the source = ?

v: speed of sound = 343 m/s

vo: speed of the observer = 40.0 m/s

vs: speed of the source = 0 m/s (stationary)

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

To calculate f' you first calculate the frequency of the sound wave, by using the following formula:

v=\lambda f\\\\

v: speed of sound

λ: wavelength = 0.700 m

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}=\frac{343m/s}{0.700m}=480Hz

Next, you replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

f'=(490Hz)(\frac{343m/s-40.0m/s}{343m/s})=432Hz

hence, the frequency perceived by the car is 432 Hz

b) To calculate the power of the sound wave, when the car is 70.0 maway from the speaker, you use the following formula:

I=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}

P: power of the source = 50.0 W

r: distance to the source = 70.0 m

I=\frac{50.0 W}{4\pi(70.0m)^2}=8.12*10^{-4}\frac{W}{m^2}

hence, the intensity is 8.12*10^⁻4 W/m^2

A calorimeter is used to determine the specific heat capacity of a test metal. If the specific heat capacity of water is known,
denis23 [38]

Answer:

initial and final temperatures of both the water and metal, mass of the metal, and mass of the water

Explanation:

Heat lost by the metal, Q = mc(t_{2} - t_{1})

Heat gained by the water in the calorimeter, Q_{w} = m_{w}c_{w}(t_{2w} - t_{1w})

For energy to be conserved in the system, the heat lost by the metal will equal the heat gain by the water in the calorimeter.

        mc(t_{2} - t_{1}) = m_{w}c_{w}(t_{2w} - t_{1w})

Where,

m is the mass of the metal

c is specific heat capacity of the metal

t₂ is the final temperature of the metal

t₁ is the initial temperature of the metal

m_{w} is the mass of the water

c_{w} is specific heat capacity of water

t_{2w} is the final temperature of water

t_{1w} is the initial temperature of water

From the question given, specific heat capacity of the water is known, the quantities to be measured are;

Initial and final temperatures of both the water and metal,

Mass of the metal, and mass of the water
