3 0

Answer:

\mu = \frac{1}{2tan\theta}

Explanation:

let the ladder is of mass "m" and standing at an angle with the ground

So here by horizontal force balance we will have

\mu N_1 = N_2

by vertical force balance we have

N_1 = mg

now by torque balance about contact point on ground we will have

mg(\frac{L}{2}cos\theta) = N_2(L sin\theta)

so we will have

N_2 = \frac{mg}{2tan\theta}

now from first equation we have

\mu (mg) = \frac{mg}{2tan\theta}

\mu = \frac{1}{2tan\theta}

5. Find the mass of a car that is traveling at a velocity of 35 m/s West.
sattari [20]

Answer:

m = 9795.9 kg

Explanation:

v = 35 m/s

KE = 6,000,000 J

Plug those values into the following equation:

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

6,000,000 J = (1/2)(35^2)m

---> m = 9795.9 kg

The force of replusion between two like charged particles will increase if​
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

The distance of separation is decreased

Explanation:

From Cuolomb's law, we know that the strength of charge is inversely proportional to the distance of separation between the charges. To mean that increasing the distance let's say from 2m to 3 m would mean initial strength getting form 1/4 to 1/9 which is a decrease. The vice versa is true hence the force of repulsion can increase only when we decrease the distance of separation.
