A uniform ladder of length L and weight w is leaning against a vertical wall. The coefficient of static friction between the lad

der and the floor is the same as that between the ladder and the wall. If this coefficient of static friction is μs = 0.495, determine the smallest angle the ladder can make with the floor without slipping.

Answer: 45.3°

Explanation:

Given,

Length of ladder = l

Weight of ladder = w

Coefficient of friction = μs = 0.495

Smallest angle the ladder makes = θ

If we assume the forces in the vertical direction to be N1, and the forces in the horizontal direction to be N2, then,

N1 = mg and

N2 = μmg

Moment at a point A in the clockwise direction is

N2 Lsinθ - mg.(L/2).cosθ = 0

μmgLsinθ - mg.(L/2).cosθ = 0

μmgLsinθ = mg.(L/2).cosθ

μsinθ = cosθ/2

sin θ / cos θ = 1 / 2μ

Tan θ = 1 / 2μ

Substituting the value of μ = 0.495, we have

Tan θ = 1 / 2 * 0.495

Tan θ = 1 / 0.99

Tan θ = 1.01

θ = tan^-1(1.01)

θ = 45.3°

svetoff [14.1K]

1)

Answer:

Part 1)

H = 30.6 m

Part 2)

t = 2.5 s

Part 3)

t = 2.5 s

Part 4)

v_f = 24.5 m/s

Explanation:

Part 1)

initial speed of the ball upwards

v_i = 24.5 m/s

so maximum height of the ball is given by

H = \frac{v_i^2}{2g}

H = \frac{24.5^2}{2(9.80)}

H = 30.6 m

Part 2)

As we know that final speed will be zero at maximum height

so we will have

v_f - v_i = at

0 - 24.5 = (-9.8)t

t = 2.5 s

Part 3)

Since the time of ascent of ball is same as time of decent of the ball

so here ball will same time to hit the ground back

so here it is given as

t = 2.5 s

Part 4)

since the acceleration due to earth will be same during its return path as well as the time of the motion is also same

so here its final speed will be same as that of initial speed

so we have

v_f = 24.5 m/s

2)

Answer:

a = 9.76 m/s/s

Explanation:

As we know that the object is released from rest

so the displacement of the object in vertical direction is given as

y = \frac{1}{2}at^2

4.88 = \frac{1}{2}a(1^2)

a = 9.76 m/s^2

3)

Answer:

v = 29.7 m/s

Explanation:

acceleration of the rocket is given as

a = 90 m/s^2

time taken by the rocket

t = 0.33 min

final speed of the rocket is given as

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = 0 + (90)(0.33)

v_f = 29.7 m/s

4)

Answer:

Part 1)

y = 25.95 m

Part 2)

d = 6.72 m

Explanation:

Part 1)

As it took t = 2.3 s to hit the water surface

so here we will have

y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

y = \frac{1}{2}(9.81)(2.3^2)

y = 25.95 m

Part 2)

Distance traveled by it in horizontal direction is given as

d = v_x t

d = 2.92 \times 2.3

d = 6.72 m

I just need a full answer here not only so I can answer the question, but also so that I can learn.
Xelga [282]

Answer: Number of valence electrons determine how fast or easy for an atom to gain stability. Either by gaining electrons or by losing electrons.

Group one and seven elements react fast because they only have one electron to gain or lose.

Explanation:

Number of valence electrons tell us the number of electrons an atom will gain or lose in order to attain stability in electron configuration.

All the elements in a particular group will have the same number of valence electrons as follows:

Group one - 1 valence electron

Group two - 2 valence electrons

Group three - 3 valence electrons

Group four - 4 valence electrons

Group five - 3 valence electrons

Group six - 2 valence electrons

Group seven - 1 valence electron

Group eight - 0 valence electron

Some elements are more reactive than the others because of the electron affinity, oxidation state and electronegativity of the atoms

For instance, elements in group 7 are more reactive than others because of their oxidation state and they have very high electronegativity.

Also, group one elements are more reactive because they only have one electron to loose.
