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

Define frequency in terms of a wave
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Explanation:

For a wave, the speed is the distance traveled by a given point on the wave (such as a crest) in a given period of time. So while wave frequency refers to the number of cycles occurring per second, wave speed refers to the meters traveled per second

Which statement is true? CTP hydrolysis can be a source of chemical energy. dATP is the most common source of chemical energy in
Gemiola [76]

1. Statement A is true.

When GTP is hydrolysed, the free energy of hydrolyses is used to power or drive reactions that are favourable energetically.

2. Statement B it true.

ATP is a complex chemical that gives energy for the activities in many living cells. During hydrolyses, chemical energy stored in the energy-rich phosphoanhydride is released. Hence its a common source of chemical energy in cells.

3. Statement C is false.

The hydrolyses of ATP to ADP in the presence of phosphate, releases one mole of ATP which is estimated to be -57Kj/mol not 14Kj/mol. Below is the equation;

ATP + H20 -----> ADP + Pi + Free energy.

4. Statement D is false.

GTP stands for guanosine triphosphate.

ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate

ADP stands for adenosine diphosphate.

At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 93 m long. It was a rainy day and the coeffi
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

u = 25 m/s

Explanation:

given,                                

length of skid = 93 m          

coefficient of friction = 0.35

final velocity = 0 m/s              

initial velocity = ?                        

force here is friction  f = μ mg

F = ma                                                

now com paring                      

-μ mg = m a                      

a = - μ g                    

a = - 0.35 x 9.8              

a = -3.43 m/s²

we know,              

v² = u² + 2 a s                        

0 = u² - 2 x 3.43 x 93                

u² = 637.98                    

u = 25.26 m/s                      

u = 25 m/s (two significant figure)
