One uniform ladder of mass 30 kg and 10 m long rests against a frictionless vertical wall and makes an angle of 60o with the flo
yuradex [85]

Answer:

   μ = 0.37

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the translational and rotational equilibrium equations.

We set our reference system at the highest point of the ladder where it touches the vertical wall. We assume that counterclockwise rotation is positive

let's write the rotational equilibrium

           W₁  x/2 + W₂ x₂ - fr y = 0

where W₁ is the weight of the mass ladder m₁ = 30kg, W₂ is the weight of the man 700 N, let's use trigonometry to find the distances

             cos 60 = x / L

where L is the length of the ladder

              x = L cos 60

            sin 60 = y / L

           y = L sin60

the horizontal distance of man is

            cos 60 = x2 / 7.0

            x2 = 7 cos 60

we substitute

         m₁ g L cos 60/2 + W₂ 7 cos 60 - fr L sin60 = 0

         fr = (m1 g L cos 60/2 + W2 7 cos 60) / L sin 60

let's calculate

         fr = (30 9.8 10 cos 60 2 + 700 7 cos 60) / (10 sin 60)

         fr = (735 + 2450) / 8.66

         fr = 367.78 N

the friction force has the expression

         fr = μ N

write the translational equilibrium equation

         N - W₁ -W₂ = 0

         N = m₁ g + W₂

         N = 30 9.8 + 700

         N = 994 N

we clear the friction force from the eucacion

        μ = fr / N

        μ = 367.78 / 994

        μ = 0.37

A jetliner flies at a constant speed covering 467 miles in 3.3 hours. What is the speed of the plane in miles per hour?
stellarik [79]

Answer:

141.152 miles per hour  is the speed of the plane in miles per hour

Explanation:

Speed of plane = Total distance travelled/total time taken -

v = D/t

Substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

v = 467/3.3 miles /hour

v = 141.152 miles per hour

141.152 miles per hour  is the speed of the plane in miles per hour

A car advertisement states that a certain car can accelerate from rest to
kaheart [24]

Answer:

a = 2.22 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

First we have to convert from kilometers per hour to meters per second

40 [\frac{km}{h}]*[\frac{1h}{3600s}]*[\frac{1000m}{1km}] = 11.11 [m/s]

We have to use the following kinematics equation:

v_{f}= v_{i}+(a*t)

where:

Vf = final velocity = 11.11 [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 0

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

t = time = 5 [s]

The initial speed is taken as zero, as the car starts from zero.

11.11 = 0 + (a*5)

a = 2.22 [m/s^2]
