What is the minimum coeffecient of static friction μmin required between the ladder and the ground so that the ladder does not s

lip?

Physics

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}

Question 1 of 10
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Option D. ²²²₉₀Th

Explanation:

Let the unknown be ⁿₘZ. Thus, the equation becomes:

²²⁶₉₂U —> ⁴₂He + ⁿₘZ

Next, we shall determine n, m and Z. This can be obtained as follow:

For n:

226 = 4 + n

Collect like terms

226 – 4 = n

222 = n

n = 222

For m:

92 = 2 + m

Collect like terms

92 – 2 = m

90 = m

m = 90

For Z:

ⁿₘZ => ²²²₉₀Z => ²²²₉₀Th

Therefore, the complete equation becomes:

²²⁶₉₂U —> ⁴₂He + ⁿₘZ

²²⁶₉₂U —> ⁴₂He + ²²²₉₀Th

Thus, the unknown is ²²²₉₀Th

a container of water is knocked off a 10.0 meter high ledge with a horizontal velocity of 1.00 meters/second. calculate the time
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

1.43 s

Explanation:

The time it takes for the container to reach the ground is determined only by the vertical motion of the container, which is a free-fall motion, so a uniformly accelerated motion with a constant acceleration of g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground.

The vertical distance covered by an object in free fall is given by

S=ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

where

u = 0 is the initial vertical speed

t is the time

a= g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

since u=0, it can be rewritten as

S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

And substituting S=10.0 m, we can solve for t, to find the duration of the fall:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(10.0 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=1.43 s

In a car moving at constant acceleration, you travel 230 m between the instants at which the speedometer reads 40 km/h and 70 km
Goryan [66]
The relationship between the distance covered, initial and final speeds, and time can be expressed through the equation,

First equation,

                    2ad = Vf² - Vi²

Substituting the known values,
                   2(a)(0.230 km) = (70 km/h)² - (40 km/h)²
The value of a from the equation is 7173.92 km/h².

Second equation,
                   d = (Vi)(t) + 0.5at²

Substituting the known values,
                    0.230 km = (40 km/h)(t) + (0.5)(7173.92 km/h²)(t²)

The value of t from the equation is 4.1818 x 10^-3 hours which is also equal to 0.2509 minutes or 15 seconds.
