A 9.08 m ladder with a mass of 23.8 kg lies flat on the ground. A painter grabs the top end of the ladder and pulls straight upw

ard with a force of 260 N. At the instant the top of the ladder leaves the ground, the ladder experiences an angular acceleration of 1.78 rad/s2 about an axis passing through the bottom end of the ladder. The ladder's center of gravity lies halfway between the top and bottom ends. (a) What is the net torque acting on the ladder? (b) What is the ladder's moment of inertia?

Answer:

1300.80988 Nm

730.79206 kgm²

Explanation:

m = Mass of ladder = 23.8 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

L = Length of ladder = 9.08 m

F = Applied force = 260 N

\alpha = Angular acceleration = 1.78 rad/s²

I = Moment of inertia

Weight is given by

W=mg\\\Rightarrow W=23.8\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow W=233.478\ N

The center of gravity of the ladder lies at the center of the ladder

Torque will be

\tau=-W\times \frac{L}{2}+F\times L\\\Rightarrow \tau=-233.478\times \frac{9.08}{2}+260\times 9.08\\\Rightarrow \tau=1300.80988\ Nm

The net torque acting on the ladder is 1300.80988 Nm

Torque is also given by

\tau=I\alpha\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{\tau}{\alpha}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{1300.80988}{1.78}\\\Rightarrow I=730.79206\ kgm^2

The moment of inertia of the ladder is 730.79206 kgm²

A 3kg book falls from a 2m tall bookshelf what is the speed <br><br> PICTURE included
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

39.2m/s

Explanation:

The potential energy the book has right before it falls is equal to the kinetic energy in falling.

PE = KE

mgh = (1/2)mv

2gh=v

v=(2)(9.81)(2)

v=39.24m/s

Describe the electrical and chemical changes that lead to an action potential. Define myelin and discuss its effects.
solniwko [45]

Answer:

The outside of a neuron has more sodium ions while at resting state. When a electrical signal is going to pass through, the sodium channels open up first and the positive sodium ions rush inward making the inner side more positive. This is called action potential.

There is layer of fatty substances called as Myelin Sheath over the course of axons. It helps the electrical signal to be transmitted with a fast pace and efficiently over the course.

The pirate ship tie at the amusement park is a giant pendulum that riders sit in. It swings back and forth, with a maximum veloc
kkurt [141]

Here as we know that there is no loss of energy

so we can say that maximum kinetic energy will become gravitational potential energy at its maximum height

So here we have

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh

here we have

v = 20 m/s

m = 8000 kg

now from above equation we have

\frac{1}{2}(8000)(20^2) = (8000)(9.8)h

h = \frac{200}{9.8)

h = 20.4 m

so maximum height is 20.4 m
