If the coefficient of static friction is 0.40, and the same ladder makes a 51° angle with respect to the horizontal, how far alo

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.

an object at rest starts accelerating if it travels 30 meters to end up going 10 m/s what was it’s acceleration
vfiekz [6]

First we have to calculate the time taken to travel the distance 30 m, is

t = \frac{distance}{velocity} = \frac{30 \ m}{10 \ m/s } =  3 \ s.

Now from equation of motion,

v = u + at

Given, v = 10 \ m/s .

As object starts from rest, so  u = 0.

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

 10 \ m/s = 0 + a \times 3 \ s \\\\ a = \frac{10}{3}  = 3.33 \ m/s^2.

Thus, the acceleration is 3.33 \ m/s^2

Physics question i appreciate your help please
den301095 [7]

Solution: From the given question, we shall find the vector quantity among the

(A) Time , (B) Velocity, (C) Distance , (D) Speed

Concept: <u>Vector Quantity: </u>All those physical quantities which have magnitude as well as specific directions, are called Vector Quantities.

Here, Time, Distance and Speed have only magnitude but have no directions so they will be scalar quantities.

Now, <u>Velocity:</u> It is defined as the change in displacement per unit time. Since the change in the displacement will be in particular direction only. Hence, velocity will be the vector quantity.

Hence, the option (B) Velocity will be the correct option.
