A 5 meter long ladder leans against a wall. The bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall at the constant rate of 1 3 m/s.

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:9.75 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Length of ladder $(L)=5 m$

Foot the ladder is moving away with speed of $\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=13 m/s$

From diagram

$x^2+y^2=L^2$ ------1

at $x=3$

$y^2=25-9=16$

$y=4 m$

Now differentiating equation 1 w.r.t time

$2x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}+2y\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=0$

$x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=-y\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$3\times 13=-4\times \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=-\frac{3\times 13}{4}=-9.75 m/s$

negative indicates distance is decreasing with time

An example of a household appliance with a low and high power rating

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are countless household appliances in every single house. One appliance with a low power rating would be a ceiling fan. On average ceiling fans consume roughly 60w and are found in the majority of houses. On the other side of the spectrum, we have a high power-rating appliance such as a microwave. Microwaves use anywhere between 1000w to 1800w of power in order to function correctly. This is very large power consumption and one of the highest power ratings found for appliances in a household.

A 7950-kg railroad car travels alone on a level frictionless track with a constant speed of 15.0 m/s . A 2950-kg load, initially

Alchen [17]

The new speed of car is 10.9 m/s

<h3 />

According to the principle of momentum conservation, momentum is only modified by the action of forces as they are outlined by Newton's equations of motion; momentum is never created nor destroyed inside a problem domain.

Mass of the railroad car, m₁ = 7950 kg

Mass of the load, m₂ = 2950 kg

It can be assumed as the speed of the car, u₁ = 15 m/s

Initially, it is at rest, u₂ = 0

Let v is the speed of the car. It can be calculated using the conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 = (m_1 + m_2) v$
