Suppose a 20-foot ladder is leaning against a building, reaching to the bottom of a second-floor window 15 feet above the ground

. What angle, in radians, does the ladder make with the ground Round your answer to two decimal places

Papessa [141]3 years ago

Answer:

The answer is β=0,85 rads

Explanation:

As the ladder is leaning against the building, we can imagine there´s a triangle where 20ft is the hypotenuse and 15ft is the maximum vertical distance between the ladder and the ground, it means, the leg opposite to β which is the angle we need

Let β(betha) be the angle between the ladder and the ground

We also know that sin(betha)=(leg opposite)/(hypotenuse)

In this case we will need to find β, this way:

betha=sin^-1((15ft/20ft))

Then β=48,6°  

We also have that 2πrads is equal to 360°, in this way we find how much β is in radians:

betha=(48,6°)*(2pirads/360°)

then we find β=0,85rads

An early method of measuring the speed of light makes use of a rotating slotted wheel. A beam of light passes through one of the
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

4.7 x 10³ rad / s

Explanation:

During the time light goes and comes back , one slot is replaced by next slot while rotating  before the light source

Time taken by light to travel a distance of 2 x 500 m is

= (2 x 500) / 3 x 10⁸

= 3.333 x 10⁻⁶ s .

In this time period, two consecutive slots come before the source of light one after another by rotation. There are 400 slots so time taken to make one rotation

= 3.333 x 10⁻⁶ x 400

= 13.33 x 10⁻⁴ s

This is the time period so

T = 13.33 X 10⁻⁴

Angular speed

= 2π / T

= \frac{2\times3.14}{13.33\times10^{-4}}

4.7 x 10³ rad / s

Three long parallel wires each carry 2.0-A currents in the same direction. The wires are oriented vertically, and they pass thro
blagie [28]

Answer:

21.2\times 10^{-6} T

Explanation:

i  = magnitude of current in each wire = 2.0 A

a  = length of the side of the square = 4 cm = 0.04 m

r  = length of the diagonal of the square = \sqrt{2} a = \sqrt{2} (0.04) = 0.057 m

B = magnitude of magnetic field by wires at A and C

B = \left ( \frac{\mu _{o}}{4\pi } \right )\left ( \frac{2i}{a} \right )

B = (10^{-7}) \left ( \frac{2(2)}{0.04} \right )

B = 10\times 10^{-6} T

B' = magnitude of magnetic field by wire at B

B' = \left ( \frac{\mu _{o}}{4\pi } \right )\left ( \frac{2i}{r} \right )

B' = (10^{-7}) \left ( \frac{2(2)}{0.057} \right )

B' = 7.02\times 10^{-6} T

Net magnitude of the magnetic field at D is given as

B_{net} = \sqrt{B^{2}+B^{2}} + B'

B_{net} = \sqrt{2} B + B'

B_{net} = \sqrt{2} (10\times 10^{-6}) + (7.02\times 10^{-6})

B_{net} = 21.2\times 10^{-6} T
