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

A pendulum takes 6.0 seconds to swing through 5 complete cycles. What is the period of the pendulum?
photoshop1234 [79]
When you look at this, you might not be sure which way to divide ...
Should you divide  6 by 5  or  5 by 6 ?

Here's a case where you can use your units to decide.

The question wants to know the 'period'.  That's a length of time,
so the answer needs to have units of time.

If you divide 'cycles' be 'time', you'll get  'cycles/second'.
That's Hz.  It's frequency, not time.

If you divide 'time' by 'cycles', you'll get 'seconds/cycle'.
That's time, and it's exactly the definition of 'period'.

            Period  =  (6 seconds) / (5 cycles)

                         =    (6 / 5)  seconds/cycle

                         =     1.2  seconds

For this problem, we assume that we are on planet-i. the radius of this planet is r =4200 km, the gravitational acceleration at
Minchanka [31]
The expression commonly used for potential gravitational energy is just simplification. It is actually just the first term in Taylor expansion of the real expression. 
In general, the potential energy of gravitational field is defined as:
U=-G \frac{mM}{r}
Where G is universal gravitational constant, and r is the distance between the objects centers of mass. Negative sign represents the bound state.
Since we are not given the mass of the planet we have to calculate it.
F_g=G\frac{mM}{r_p^2}\\ mg=G\frac{mM}{r_p^2}\\ g=G\frac{M}{r_p^2}
This formula can be used for any planet. It gives you the gravitational acceleration on the planet's surface. We can use it to calculate the planet's mass:
g=G\frac{M}{r_p^2}\\ M=\frac{gr_p^2}{G}=2.41\cdot 10^{24}kg
Now we can calculate the potential energy of that cannonball when it reaches its maximum height.
U=-G \frac{mM}{r}\\ U=-G \frac{mM}{r_p+h}
When we plug in the numbers we get:
U=-4.99\cdot 10^{10} J
The potential energy has to be equal to the kinetic energy.
E_k=4.99\cdot 10^{10} J
