A ladder is leaning against a vertical wall, and both ends of the ladder are at the point of slipping. The coefficient of fricti

on between the ladder and the horizontal surface is μ1 = 0.195 and the coefficient of friction between the ladder and the wall is μ2 = 0.253. Determine the maximum angle with the vertical the ladder can make without falling on the ground.

Here:
Sum Fx| Fgx=Fw
SumFy| Fgy=mg-mu2xFw
SumTorques | Fw(Lcos(theta))=mg(L/2)sin(theta) - Now,this leads to-->Fw=Fg=(mg)/(2tan(theta))For no slipping Fgx<=mu1(Fgy)

Just make the substitutions and it gets ugly but the final thing you get should be 

theta= arctan[(1-mu1x mu2)/(2mu1)) , which equals 67.946 then subtract from 90 and viola!
you get the answer of 22.305

After the slab is charged, and the electrophorus is placed on the slab, the student briefly touches the electrophorus, effective
inna [77]

Answer:

By induction method

Explanation:

Induction method involves charging an electrically neutral body by bringing it in contact with an electrically charged body.

For the electrophus, a charge opposite that on the slab is induced on the side in contact with the slab; driving the opposite charge (this will be the same as that on the slab) to the other end of the elctrophus. Touching the electrophus removes the charge opposite the charge induced on the electrophus by the charged slab either by drawing up charge from the earth or taking the charge to earth (depends on the charge. A negative charge is drawn to earth while a positive charge draws up electrons from the earth)

V = d/t please help with my physics question!
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

313, 0.60 s

Explanation:

wavelength

= speed/frequency

= 340/520

= 0.6538 m

Number of wavelengths

= 205/0.6538

= <u>313</u> (whole number)

Time delay

= distance/speed

= 204/340

= <u>0.60 s</u>

What is an example of Brownian motion in everday life
pishuonlain [190]
Flower pollen on water or smoke in a glass box. 
<span>Both show random motions of the flower pollen and smoke due to the random motion of the water and air molecules.</span><span>Jan Ingenhousz had described the irregular motion of coal dust particles on the surface of alcohol in 1785. Nevertheless Brownian motion is traditionally regarded as discovered by the botanist Robert Brown in 1827. It is believed that Brown was studying pollen particles floating in water under the microscope. He then observed minute particles within the vacuoles of the pollen grains executing a jittery motion. By repeating the experiment with particles of dust, he was able to rule out that the motion was due to pollen particles being 'alive', although the origin of the motion was yet to be explained. Consider a large balloon of 10 meters in diameter. Imagine this large balloon in a football stadium or any widely crowded area. The balloon is so large that it lies on top of many members of the crowd. Because they are excited, these fans hit the balloon at different times and in different directions with the motions being completely random. In the end, the balloon is pushed in random directions, so it should not move on average. Consider now the force exerted at a certain time. We might have 20 supporters pushing right, and 21 other supporters pushing left, where each supporter is exerting equivalent amounts of force. In this case, the forces exerted from the left side and the right side are imbalanced in favor of the left side; the balloon will move slightly to the left. This imbalance exists at all times, and it causes random motion. If we look at this situation from above, so that we cannot see the supporters, we see the large balloon as a small object animated by erratic movement. Now return to Brown’s pollen particle swimming randomly in water. One molecule of water is about .1 to .2 nm, (a hydrogen-bonded cluster of 300 atoms has a diameter of approximately 3 nm) where the pollen particle is roughly 1 micrometer in diameter, roughly 10,000 times larger than a water molecule. So, the pollen particle can be considered as a very large balloon constantly being pushed by water molecules. The Brownian motion of particles in a liquid is due to the instantaneous imbalance in the force exerted by the small liquid molecules on the particle. Okay, I hope that'll answer your question!

An unusual fog that is denser than air begins to fill a room should the people in the room walk out or crawl out
11111nata11111 [884]
Walk out, because dense air sinks, cool air rises, so you should have enough air to breathe while walking out, better off, is to hold onto your breath and run out, or put something over your nose and mouth, whichever you use to breathe with, like a mask of some type of cloth. don't forget to stop, duck, and roll if the fires on you.
