Answer:

d=1.18m

Explanation:

A 5.0-m long, 12-kg uniform ladder rests against a smooth vertical wall with the bottom of the ladder 3.0 m from the wall. the coefficient of static friction between the floor and the ladder is 0.28. what distance, measured along the ladder from the bottom, can a 60-kg person climb before the ladder starts to slip?

frictional force =uFn

u=coefficient of static friction

Fn=normal force

assuming forces in the y direction, we ave

EFy=0

Efy=Fn-Fg-Fp

Fn=Fg+Fp

Fn=120N+600N

Fn=720N

we recall tat Frctional force=uFn

0.28*720N

201.6N

summing te forces in te x direction

EFx=Fr-fWall

Fr=frictional force

Fwall=force in the wall

Fr=Fwall

Fwall=201.6N

the angle te ladder makes wit round will be

cos\alpha=3/5

\alpha=53.13

Next, we can turn to calculating the net torque

Choose the pivot point at the bottom of the ladder

(this choice eliminates FN and Fr).

rgrav =1/2*5=2.5

rwall=5m

rman=d

twall== r( wall)(Fwall)sinalpa

5*201.6sin53.13

twall=+806.39Nm

τ grav = r( grav )(Fgrav )sin53.13

τ grav=2.5*120*)sin53.13

-239.99nm

τ person = r( person )(Fperson )sin53.13

d*600Nsn53.13

-479.99d

∑τ = τ wall + τ grav + τ person

= 0

summation of te torque

te negative sin is for troques in te clockwise direction

+806.39Nm-239.99nm-479.99d=0

566.4=479.99

d=1.18m

First establish the summation of the forces acting int the ladder

Forces in the x direction Fx = 0 = force of friction (Ff) – normal force in the wall(n2)

Forces in the y direction Fy =0 = normal force in floor (n1) – (12*9.81) –( 60*9.81)

So n1 = 706.32 N

Since Ff = un1 = 0.28*706.32 = 197,77 N = n2

Torque balance along the bottom of the ladder = 0 = n2(4 m) – (12*9.81*2.5 m) – (60*9.81 *x m)

X = 0.844 m

5/ 3 = h/ 0.844

H = 1.4 m can the 60 kg person climb berfore the ladder will slip

frutty [35]

Answer:

I1 = 2/5 M1 R^2   for a sphere about its center

I2 = 2/5 M2 (2 R)^2 = 2/5 M2 R^ * 4 = 8/5 M2 R^2

Remember that M2 is greater than M1 by a factor 0f 2^3 = 8

Then I2 exceeds I1 by a factor of 32

At what displacement of a sho is the energy half kinetic and half potential? what fraction of the total energy of a sho is kinet
expeople1 [14]

As we know that KE and PE is same at a given position

so we will have as a function of position given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)

also the PE is given as function of position as

PE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2

now it is given that

KE = PE

now we will have

\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2) = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x^2

A^2 - x^2 = x^2

2x^2 = A^2

x = \frac{A}{\sqrt2}

so the position is 0.707 times of amplitude when KE and PE will be same

Part b)

KE of SHO at x = A/3

we can use the formula

KE = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2(A^2 - x^2)

now to find the fraction of kinetic energy

f = \frac{KE}{TE} = \frac{A^2 - x^2}{A^2}

f = \frac{A^2 - (\frac{A}{3})^2}{A^2}

f_k = \frac{8}{9}

now since total energy is sum of KE and PE

so fraction of PE at the same position will be

f_{PE} = 1 - f_k

f_{PE} = 1 - (8/9) = 1/9

Choose the correct explanation of whether the discovery should be considered reasonable or surprising.
earnstyle [38]

Answer: a. This would be exciting, but not surprising. Heat from Martian volcanoes may well be enough to melt water under the Mars' surface.

Explanation: It was recently observed by a team of geological researchers that there exist some activity at the crust of the planet mars. This activity are volcanic in nature and estimated to be about 10kilometers large. Also this volcanic eruptions in the planet mars core are described as among the largest in our solar system. Therefore it won't be a surprise that Heat from Martian volcanoes may well be enough to melt water under the Mars' surface.
