Answer:

17.64 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram (see attached). At the center of the ladder is weight pulling down. At point C, we have a normal force pushing perpendicular to the ladder. At point A, we have reaction forces in the x and y directions.

For simplicity, we can divide the normal force into x and y components. The slope of the ladder is -80/60, so the slope of the normal force is 60/80. Therefore:

Ny / Nx = 60 / 80

Ny / Nx = 3/4

Next, we'll take the sum of moments at point A:

∑τ = Iα

-Wd + Ny (60) + Nx (80) = 0

d is the horizontal distance between A and the center of the ladder. We can find it using similar triangles. From Pythagorean theorem, we know the distance between A and C is 100 cm. So:

60 / 100 = d / 60

d = 36

-(5)(9.8)(36) + Ny (60) + Nx (80) = 0

60 Ny + 80 Nx = 1764

We now have two equations and two variables. Solving:

60 (3/4 Nx) + 80 Nx = 1764

45 Nx + 80 Nx = 1764

125 Nx = 1764

Nx = 14.112

Ny = 3/4 Nx

Ny = 10.584

Using Pythagorean theorem to find N:

N = √(Nx² + Ny²)

N = 17.64

The magnitude of the normal force is 17.64 N.

I believe the answer would be mass. Low mass stars and medium mass stars often become white dwarfs when they die while high mass stars explode in violent explosions called supernovas and usually leave behind a black hole or a neutron star.

What important factor does the ozone layer serve in earth's atmosphere?

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The Ozone layer is responsible for the absorption of harmful radiation from the sun before it hits the surface or exterior structure of our planet. It is known to be a belt of a known occurring gas, known as “ozone” which is sealed around the Earth’s atmosphere. It serves as a shield, which absorbs most of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation.

Someone help please by providing work and answers please :)

Nastasia [14]

First we gotta use an equation of motion:

$d = ut + \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}$

Our vertical distance d= 100 m, initial vertical speed u = 0 m/s (because velocity is fully horizontal), and vertical acceleration a = 9.8 m/s2 because of gravity. Let's plug it all in!

$100 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (9.8) {t}^{2}$

Now we just need to solve for t:

${t}^{2} = \frac{2(100)}{9.8} \\ \\ t = \sqrt{\frac{2(100)}{9.8}}$

Hit the calculators, and you'll get 4.5 seconds!

A particle with a mass of 0.500 kg is attached to a horizontal spring with a force constant of 50.0 N/m. At the moment t = 0, th

svp [43]

a) $x(t)=2.0 sin (10 t) [m]$

The equation which gives the position of a simple harmonic oscillator is:

$x(t)= A sin (\omega t)$

where

A is the amplitude

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ is the angular frequency, with k being the spring constant and m the mass

t is the time

Let's start by calculating the angular frequency:

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{50.0 N/m}{0.500 kg}}=10 rad/s$

The amplitude, A, can be found from the maximum velocity of the spring:

$v_{max}=\omega A\\A=\frac{v_{max}}{\omega}=\frac{20.0 m/s}{10 rad/s}=2 m$

So, the equation of motion is

$x(t)= 2.0 sin (10 t) [m]$

b) t=0.10 s, t=0.52 s

The potential energy is given by:

$U(x)=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

While the kinetic energy is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

The velocity as a function of time t is:

$v(t)=v_{max} cos(\omega t)$

The problem asks as the time t at which U=3K, so we have:

$\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{3}{2}mv^2\\kx^2 = 3mv^2\\k (A sin (\omega t))^2 = 3m (\omega A cos(\omega t))^2\\(tan(\omega t))^2=\frac{3m\omega^2}{k}$

However, $\frac{m}{k}=\frac{1}{\omega^2}$ , so we have

$(tan(\omega t))^2=\frac{3\omega^2}{\omega^2}=3\\tan(\omega t)=\pm \sqrt{3}\\$

with two solutions:

$\omega t= \frac{\pi}{3}\\t=\frac{\pi}{3\omega}=\frac{\pi}{3(10 rad/s)}=0.10 s$

$\omega t= \frac{5\pi}{3}\\t=\frac{5\pi}{3\omega}=\frac{5\pi}{3(10 rad/s)}=0.52 s$

c) 3 seconds.

When x=0, the equation of motion is:

$0=A sin (\omega t)$

so, t=0.

When x=1.00 m, the equation of motion is:

$1=A sin(\omega t)\\sin(\omega t)=\frac{1}{A}=\frac{1}{2}\\\omega t= 30\\t=\frac{30}{\omega}=\frac{30}{10 rad/s}=3 s$

So, the time needed is 3 seconds.

d) 0.097 m

The period of the oscillator in this problem is:

$T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}=\frac{2\pi}{10 rad/s}=0.628 s$

The period of a pendulum is:

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

where L is the length of the pendulum. By using T=0.628 s, we find

$L=\frac{T^2g}{(2\pi)^2}=\frac{(0.628 s)^2(9.8 m/s^2)}{(2\pi)^2}=0.097 m$
