A 14.0 m uniform ladder weighing 490 N rests against a frictionless wall. The ladder makes a 63.0°-angle with the horizontal.

Physics

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

length of ladder r_L = 14m

weight of ladder F_L = 490N

position of firefighter r_F = 3.8m

weight of firefighter F_F = 820N

angle of ladder \alpha = 63

Unknown:

force of the wall on the ladder F_W

force of friction on base of ladder F_R

normal force on base of ladder F_N

From the free body diagram of the sketch you get 3 equations:

F_x = ma_x = F_W - F_R = 0\\ F_y = ma_y = F_N - F_F - F_L = 0\\ \tau _P = \overrightarrow{r} \times \overrightarrow{F} = r_FF_Fcos\alpha + \frac{1}{2}r_LF_Lcos\alpha - r_LF_Wsin\alpha = 0

Solving the equations gives:

F_W = F_R\\ F_N = F_F + F_L\\ F_W = \frac{r_FF_F + 0.5r_LF_L}{r_L tan\alpha}

a)

F_R = 238N\\ F_N = 1310N

b)

F_R = \mu F_N\\ \mu = \frac{F_R}{F_N} \\ \mu = 0.3

c) Using the result from b and solving for r_F

\\ \mu = 0.15\\ F_R = \mu F_N\\ r_F = 2.4m

it is about 384,750 kilometers from earth to the moon. it took the apollo astronauts about 2 days and 19.5 hours to fly to the m
Jet001 [13]
We know, speed = Distance / Time
d = 384,750 Km
t = 2 days, 19.5 hours = 48+19.5 = 67.5 hour

Substitute their values, 
s = 384,750 / 67.5
s = 5700 Km/h

In short, Your Answer would be 5700 Km/h

Hope this helps!

The speed that a tsunami can travel is modeled by the equation , where s is the speed in kilometers per hour and d is the averag
CaHeK987 [17]

The speed of tsunami is a.0.32 km. 

Steps involved  :

The equation s = 356d models the maximum speed that a tsunami can move at. It reads as follows: s = 200 km/h d =?

Let's now change s to s in the equation to determine d: s = 356√d 200 = 356√d √d = 200 ÷ 356 √d = 0.562 Let's square the equation now by squaring both sides: (√d)² = (0.562) ² d = (0.562)² = 0.316 ≈ 0.32

As a result, 0.32 km is roughly the depth (d) of water for a tsunami moving at 200 km/h.

You serve a volleyball with a mass of 2.1 kg. The ball leaves your hand with a speed of 30 m/s. The ball has—— energy. Calculate
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

945 j

Explanation:

You have just given the ball kinetic energy, which is given by the following equation:

KE= 1⁄2 m v2 = 1⁄2 (2.1 kg)(30 m/s)2 = 945 Joules

A 0.90-kg falcon is diving at 28.0 m/s at a downward angle of 35° . It catches a 0.325-kg pigeon from behind in midair. What is
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

22.11 m / s

Explanation:

The falcon catches the prey from behind means both are flying in the same direction ( suppose towards the left )

initial velocity of falcon = 28 cos 35 i - 28 sin 35 j  

( falcon was flying in south east direction making 35 degree from the east )

momentum = .9 ( 28 cos 35 i - 28 sin 35 j  )

= 20.64 i - 14.45 j

initial velocity of pigeon

= 7 i

initial momentum = .325 x 7i

= 2.275 i

If final velocity of composite mass of falcon and pigeon be V

Applying law of conservation of momentum

( .9 + .325) V = 20.64 i - 14.45 j +2.275 i

V = ( 22.915 i - 14.45 j ) / 1.225

= 18.70 i - 11.8 j

magnitude of V

= √ [  (18.7 )² + ( 11.8 )²]

= 22.11 m / s
