The foot of a ladder is 6m away from a wall. if the top of the ladder rest 8 feet up on the wall,how long is the ladder?

1 answer:

5 0

To solve this we can use Pythagorean's theorem for right triangles. The formula describes the longest side of a right triangle ( a triangle with a 90degree ). The side opposite to this angle equals the square root of the sum of the squares of the other two shorter sides. Given this equation, we have the length of the ladder as the longest side (hypotenuse) which is opposite the angle between the plane and the wall, given the height it makes with the wall 8 feet and distance of the other end of the ladder at 6m away we have below

Length of ladder = sqrt ((6 m)^2+(2.4384m)^2)

Note that 8 feet was converted to meter = 2.4384

Length of ladder is = sqrt (36 + 5.94579456) = 6.5 meters approximately

Suppose you have thrown a rock nearly straight up at a coconut in a palm tree,and the rock misses on the way up but hits the coc

Margarita [4]

Most likely it would dislodge the coconut on the way down due to gravity because on the way up the gravity would slow down the rock but on they down the gravity pulls the rock

A(n ___ is used to determine where an implanted electrode is to be placed in a brain in 3-dimensions.

Fynjy0 [20]

A stereotaxic atlas is used to determine where an implanted electrode is to be placed in a brain in 3-dimensions. A stereotaxic atlas is used for doing a stereotactic surgery in order to cure the disorder occurred in the brain. This tool increase the accuracy, reliability, and the measurement of the brain because it gives the accurate brain map.

How can a 1kg ball have more kinetic energy than a 100kg ball? Explain both using words and by providing a numerical example

MariettaO [177]

1 kg ball can have more kinetic energy than a 100 kg ball as increase in velocity is having greater impact on K.E than increase in mass.

Explanation:

We know kinetic energy can be judged or calculated by two parameters only which is mass and velocity. As kinetic energy is directly proportional to the $(velocity)^2$ and increase in velocity leads to greater effect on translational Kinetic Energy. Here formula of Kinetic Energy suggests that doubling the mass will double its K.E but doubling velocity will quadruple its velocity:

$\text { Kinetic Energy }=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}$

Better understood from numerical example as given:

If a man A having weight 50 kg run with speed 5 m/s and another man B having 100 kg weight run with 2.5 m / s. Which man will have more K.E?

This can be solved as follows:

$\text { Kinetic Energy of } \mathrm{A}=\frac{1}{2} 50 \times 5^{2}=625 \mathrm{J}$

$\text { Kinetic Energy bf } \mathrm{B}=\frac{1}{2} 100 \times 2.5^{2}=312.5 \mathrm{J}$

It shows that man A will have more K.E.

Hence 1 kg ball can have more K.E than 100 kg ball by doubling velocity.
