Answer:

   μ = 0.37

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the translational and rotational equilibrium equations.

We set our reference system at the highest point of the ladder where it touches the vertical wall. We assume that counterclockwise rotation is positive

let's write the rotational equilibrium

           W₁  x/2 + W₂ x₂ - fr y = 0

where W₁ is the weight of the mass ladder m₁ = 30kg, W₂ is the weight of the man 700 N, let's use trigonometry to find the distances

             cos 60 = x / L

where L is the length of the ladder

              x = L cos 60

            sin 60 = y / L

           y = L sin60

the horizontal distance of man is

            cos 60 = x2 / 7.0

            x2 = 7 cos 60

we substitute

         m₁ g L cos 60/2 + W₂ 7 cos 60 - fr L sin60 = 0

         fr = (m1 g L cos 60/2 + W2 7 cos 60) / L sin 60

let's calculate

         fr = (30 9.8 10 cos 60 2 + 700 7 cos 60) / (10 sin 60)

         fr = (735 + 2450) / 8.66

         fr = 367.78 N

the friction force has the expression

         fr = μ N

write the translational equilibrium equation

         N - W₁ -W₂ = 0

         N = m₁ g + W₂

         N = 30 9.8 + 700

         N = 994 N

we clear the friction force from the eucacion

        μ = fr / N

        μ = 367.78 / 994

        μ = 0.37

What occurs when waves overlap
IrinaK [193]
If you are talking about ocean waves crashing into each other, they would probably mostly cancel out with just a bit of motion left over. If you are talking about things like frequency and amplitude, overlapping waves would combine and amplify or suppress each other, depending on their direction, position, frequency and amplitude. If the two waves complement each other, they amplify; if they conflict with each other, they are suppressed.

Kevin jumps straight up in the air to a height of 1 meter.At the top of his jump, he has potential energy of 1,000 joules.Answer
Llana [10]
Gravitational potential energy can be given by the equation
PE = mgh
where m is the mass,
g is the gravitational constant 9.81 or 10 depending on rounding
and h is the height

well weight is a force equiavlent to
W= m*g

so comparing that to the potential energy equation, divide the potential energy by the height and you will get weight in Newtons

dlinn [17]

A point charge is located at the origin of a coordinate system. A positive charge is brought in from infinity to a point. The charges are at distance for given electrical potential energy is 3.34 x  10⁷ m.

<h3>What is electric potential energy?</h3>

The electric potential energy is the work done by a test charge to bring it from infinity to a particular location.

The electric potential energy is given by the relation,

V = kQ/r

where k = 9 x 10⁹ J.m/C ,Q = 3 x 10⁻⁹ C, V =8.09 × 10⁻⁷ J.

Substitute the values into the expression to get the distance between the charges.

8.09 × 10⁻⁷ =  9 x 10⁹ x  3 x 10⁻⁹ / r

r =3.34 x  10⁷ m

Thus, the distance between the charges will be 3.34 x  10⁷ m.
