Answer:

length of the ladder is 13.47 feet

base of wall to latter distance 6.10 feet

angle between ladder and the wall is 26.95°

Explanation:

given data

height h  = 12 feet

angle 63°

to find out

length of the ladder ( L) and length of wall to ladder ( A) and angle between  ladder and the wall

solution

we consider here angle between base of wall and floor is right angle

we apply here trigonometry rule that is

sin63 = h/L

put here value

L = 12 / sin63

L = 13.47

so length of the ladder is 13.47 feet

and

we can say

tan 63 = h / A

put here value

A = 12 / tan63

A = 6.10

so base of wall to latter distance 6.10 feet

and

we say here

tanθ = 6.10 / 12

θ = 26.95°

so angle between ladder and the wall is 26.95°

Answer:

Object 3 has greatest acceleration.

Explanation:

Objects               Mass                                Force

1                            10 kg                               4 N              

2                           100 grams                       20 N

3                            10 grams                         4 N

4                             1 kg                                 20 N

Acceleration of object 1,

a_1=\dfrac{F_1}{m_1}\\\\a_1=\dfrac{4}{10}\\\\a_1=0.4\ m/s^2

Acceleration of object 2,

a_2=\dfrac{F_2}{m_2}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{20}{0.1}\\\\a_2=200\ m/s^2

Acceleration of object 3,

a_3=\dfrac{F_3}{m_3}\\\\a_3=\dfrac{4}{0.01}\\\\a_3=400\ m/s^2

Acceleration of object 4,

a_4=\dfrac{F_4}{m_4}\\\\a_4=\dfrac{20}{1}\\\\a_3=20\ m/s^2

It is clear that the acceleration of object 3 is 400\ m/s^2 and it is greatest of all. So, the correct option is (3).

A steel ball rolls with a constant velocity on a tabletop 0.950 m high it rolls off and hit the ground 0.352 m from the edge of
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

0.799 m/s if air resistance is negligible.

Explanation:

For how long is the ball in the air?

Acceleration is constant. The change in the ball's height \Delta h depends on the square of the time:

\displaystyle \Delta h = \frac{1}{2} \;g\cdot t^{2} + v_0\cdot t,

where

  • \Delta h is the change in the ball's height.
  • g is the acceleration due to gravity.
  • t is the time for which the ball is in the air.
  • v_0 is the initial vertical velocity of the ball.
  • The height of the ball decreases, so this value should be the opposite of the height of the table relative to the ground. \Delta h = -0.950\;\text{m}.
  • Gravity pulls objects toward the earth, so g is also negative. g \approx -9.81\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2} near the surface of the earth.
  • Assume that the table is flat. The vertical velocity of the ball will be zero until it falls off the edge. As a result, v_0 = 0.

Solve for t.

\displaystyle \Delta h = \frac{1}{2} \;g\cdot t^{2} + v_0\cdot t;

\displaystyle -0.950 = \frac{1}{2} \times (-9.81) \cdot t^{2};

\displaystyle t^{2} =\frac{-0.950}{1/2 \times (-9.81)};

t \approx 0.440315\;\text{s}.

What's the initial horizontal velocity of the ball?

  • Horizontal displacement of the ball: \Delta x = 0.352\;\text{m};
  • Time taken: \Delta t = 0.440315\;\text{s}

Assume that air resistance is negligible. Only gravity is acting on the ball when it falls from the tabletop. The horizontal velocity of the ball will not change while the ball is in the air. In other words, the ball will move away from the table at the same speed at which it rolls towards the edge.

\begin{aligned}\text{Rolling Velocity}&=\text{Horizontal Velocity} \\&= \text{Average Horizontal Velocity}\\ &=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\frac{0.352\;\text{m}}{0.440315\;\text{s}}=0.0799\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-1}\end{aligned}.

Both values from the question come with 3 significant figures. Keep more significant figures than that during the calculation and round the final result to the same number of significant figures.

Give reason Pascal is a derived unit​
Stells [14]

Answer:

Pascal is a derived unit because <u>it</u><u> </u><u>cannot</u><u> </u><u>be</u><u> </u><u>expressed</u><u> </u><u>in</u><u> </u><u>any</u><u> </u><u>physics</u><u> </u><u>terms</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>but</u><u> </u><u>it</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>an</u><u> </u><u>expression</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>fundamental</u><u> </u><u>quantities</u><u>.</u>

Explanation:

{ \sf{Pasacal \: ( Pa) =  \frac{newtons}{metres {}^{2} } }} \\  \\ { \sf{Pasacal  \: (Pa) =  \frac{kg \times  {ms}^{ - 2} }{ {m}^{2} } }}
