To solve this problem, we apply the concepts related to the sum of forces and balance in a diagram that will be attached, in order to identify the behavior, direction and sense of the forces. The objective is to find an expression that is in terms of the mass, the angle, the coefficient of friction and the length that allows us to identify when the ladder begins to slip. For equilibrium of the ladder we have,

\sum F_x = 0

\sum F_y = 0

\sum M_o = 0

Now we have that

f_1 = N_2

N_1 = mg

And for equilibrium of the two forces we have finally

mgdcos\theta = N_2lsin\theta

Rearranging to find the distance,

d = \frac{N_2}{mg}ltan\theta

d = \frac{f_1}{mg}ltan\theta

So if we have that the frictional force is equivalent to

f_1 = \mu N_1

f_1 = \mu mg

f_1 = (0.4)(57*9.8)

f_1 = 223.44N

With this value we have that

d = \frac{(0.4)(57)(9.8)}{57*9.8}(7.5) tan(60\°)

d = 5.19m

Therefore can go around to 5.19m before the ladder begins to slip.

If a distant galaxy has a substantial redshift (as viewed from our galaxy), then anyone living in that galaxy would see a substa
mario62 [17]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The statement makes sense since it's already explained that the galaxy is moving away from us and unlike option C which depicts that the galaxy is moving to us.

This statement makes sense. The redshift means that we see the galaxy moving away from us, so observers in that galaxy must also see us moving away from them—which means they see us redshifted as well

Complete Question

The compete question is shown on the first uploaded question

Answer:

The speed is  v  =  350 \  m/s  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  distance of separation is  d =  4.00 m  

  The distance of the listener to the center between the speakers is  I =  5.00 m

  The change in the distance of the speaker is by k  =  60 cm  =  0.6 \  m

    The frequency of both speakers is f =  700 \  Hz

Generally the distance of the listener to the first speaker is mathematically represented as

       L_1  =  \sqrt{l^2 + [\frac{d}{2} ]^2}

       L_1  =  \sqrt{5^2 + [\frac{4}{2} ]^2}

        L_1  =   5.39 \  m

Generally the distance of the listener to second speaker at its new position is  

          L_2  =  \sqrt{l^2 + [\frac{d}{2} ]^2 + k}

       L_2  =  \sqrt{5^2 + [\frac{4}{2} ]^2 + 0.6}

        L_2  =   5.64  \  m  

Generally the path difference between the speakers is mathematically represented as

        pD  = L_2 - L_1  =  \frac{n  *  \lambda}{2}

Here \lambda is the wavelength which is mathematically represented as

         \lambda =  \frac{v}{f}

=>    L_2 - L_1  =  \frac{n  *  \frac{v}{f}}{2}

=>    L_2 - L_1  =  \frac{n  *  v}{2f}  

=>    L_2 - L_1  =  \frac{n  *  v}{2f}  

Here n is the order of the maxima with  value of  n =  1  this because we are considering two adjacent waves

=>    5.64 - 5.39   =  \frac{1  *  v}{2*700}      

=>    v  =  350 \  m/s

A force of 720 Newton stretches a spring 4 meters. A mass of 45 Kilograms is attached to the spring and is initially released fr
poizon [28]

Answer:

x(t) = -3sin2t

Explanation:

Given that

Spring force of, W = 720 N

Extension of the spring, s = 4 m

Attached mass to the spring, m = 45 kg

Velocity of, v = 6 m/s

The proper calculation is attached via the image below.

Final solution is x(t) = -3.sin2t

An 89 kg man drops from rest on a diving board −3.1 m above the surface of the water and comes to rest 0.5 s after reaching the
OLga [1]

To solve this problem we will use the linear motion kinematic equations, for which the change of speed squared with the acceleration and the change of position. The acceleration in this case will be the same given by gravity, so our values would be given as,

m= 89 kg\\x = 3.1 m\\t = 0.5s\\a = g = 9.8m/s^2

Through the aforementioned formula we will have to

v_f^2-v_i^2 = 2ax

The particulate part of the rest, so the final speed would be

v_f^2 = 2gx

v_f=\sqrt{2(9.8)(3.1)}

v_f = 7.79m/s

Now from Newton's second law we know that

F = ma

Here,

m = mass

a = acceleration, which can also be written as a function of velocity and time, then

F = m\frac{dv}{dt}

Replacing we have that,

F = (89)\frac{7.79}{0.5}

F = 1386.62N

Therefore the force that the water exert on the man is 1386.62
