A uniform ladder of length l rests against a smooth, vertical wall. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.50, and the ladde

r makes a 53⁰ angle with respect to the horizontal, how far along the length of the ladder can a 56.0-kg person climb before the ladder begins to slip? The ladder is 7.5 m in length and has a mass of 21 kg.

Answer:

X = 5.44 m

Explanation:

First we can calculate the normal force acting from the floor to the ladder.

W₁+W₂ = N  

W1 is the weigh of the ladder

W2 is the weigh of the  person

So we have:

m1g+m2g=N  

N=755.37 N

The friction force is:

F_{force}=\mu N=0.5\cdot 755.37=377.68 N

Now let's define the conservation of torque about the foot of the ladder:

\tau_{ledder}+\tau_{person=\tau_{reaction}}

m_{1}\cdot g\cdot X \cdot cos(53)+m_{2}\cdot g\cdot 3.75 \cdot cos(53)=F_{force}7.5sin(53)

Solving this equation for X, we have:

X = \frac{377.68\cdot 7.5\cdot sin(53)-21\cdot 9.81\cdot 3.75 \cdot cos(53)}{56\cdot 9.81\cdot cos(53)}

Finally, X = 5.44 m

Hope it helps!

A helium balloon has an internal pressure of 2.5 atm when it occupies 4.5 L. If it was compressed until it had a pressure of 3.3
steposvetlana [31]

Answer: V = 3.4 L

Explanation: Use Boyle's Law to find the new volume. P1V1 = P2V2, derive for V2, then the formula will be V2= P1V1 / P2

V2 = 2.5 atm ( 4.5 L ) / 3.3 atm

= 3.4 L

<h3>What is The Law of Gravity?</h3>

According to Newton's law of gravity, every particle of matter in the universe is attracted to every other particle with a force that varies directly as the product of their masses and inversely as their distance from one another.

Properties of Gravity -

  • It is a universal attractive force. It is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two bodies.
  • It obey inverse square law.
  • It is the weakest force known in nature.

Examples of Gravity -

  • The force that holds the gases in the sun.
  • The force that causes a ball you throw in the air to come down again.
  • The force that causes a car to coast downhill even when you aren't stepping on the gas.

v₀=0 m/s

H₀=0 m

g=10 m/s²

t=7,2 s

H - ?

H= H_{0} + v_{0}t+\frac{gt^{2} }{2}   \\

H = 0 +0 × 7.2 + 10(7.2)²/2

H = 36m

A motorist traveling with a constant speed of 15 m/s (about 34 mi/h) passes a school-crossing corner, where the speed limit is 0
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

(a) 10 s

(b) 30 m/s

(c) 150 m

Explanation:

The motorist's position at time t is:

x = 15t

The officer's position at time t is:

x = ½ (3) t² = 1.5 t²

(a) When they have the same position, the time is:

15t = 1.5 t²

t = 0 or 10 s

(b) The officer's speed is:

v = 3t

v = 30 m/s

(c) The position is:

x = 15t = 150 m
