A 39-foot ladder is leaning against a vertical wall. If the bottom of the ladder is being pulled away from the wall at the rate

of 8 feet per second, at what rate is the area of the triangle formed by the wall, the ground, and the ladder changing, in square feet per second, at the instant the bottom of the ladder is 36 feet from the wall?

Answer:

The rate of change of the area when the bottom of the ladder (denoted by b) is at 36 ft. from the wall is the following:

\frac{dA}{dt}|_{b=36}=-571.2\, ft^2/s

Explanation:

The Area of the triangle is given by A=h\times b where h=\sqrt{l^2-b^2} (by using the Pythagoras' Theorem) and b is the length of the base of the triangle or the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the wall.

The area is then

A=\sqrt{l^2-b^2}b

The rate of change of the area is given by its time derivative

\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\left(\sqrt{l^2-b^2}\cdot b\right)

\implies \frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\left(\sqrt{l^2-b^2}\right)\cdot b+\frac{db}{dt}\cdot\sqrt{l^2-b^2}

\implies\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\frac{d}{dt}(l^2-b^2)\cdot b+\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot \frac{db}{dt} Product rule

\implies\frac{dA}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot 2\cdot b^2\cdot \frac{db}{dt}+\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot \frac{db}{dt} Chain rule

\implies\frac{dA}{dt}=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot b^2\cdot \frac{db}{dt}+\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot \frac{db}{dt}

\implies\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{db}{dt}\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot b^2+\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\right)

In here we can identify b=36\, ft, l=39 and \frac{db}{dt}=8\,ft/s.

The result is then

\frac{dA}{dt}=8\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{39^2-36^2}}\cdot 36^2+\sqrt{39^2-36^2}}\right)=-571.2\, ft^2/s

The centripetal force : F = 293.3125 N

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass = 65 kg

v = 9.5 m/s

r = 20 m

Required

the centripetal force

Solution

Centripetal force is a force acting on objects that move in a circle in the direction toward the center of the circle  

\large {\boxed {\bold {F = \frac {mv ^ 2} {R}}}

F = centripetal force, N  

m = mass, Kg  

v = linear velocity, m / s  

r = radius, m  

Input the value :

F = 65 x 9.5² / 20

F = 293.3125 N

<h2><em><u>⇒</u></em>Answer:</h2>

In the standing broad jump, one squats and then pushes off with the legs to see how far one can jump. Suppose the extension of the legs from the crouch position is 0.600 m and the acceleration achieved from this position is 1.25 times the acceleration due to gravity, g . How far can they jump? State your assumptions. (Increased range can be achieved by swinging the arms in the direction of the jump.)

Step-by-Step Solution:

Solution 35PE

This question discusses about the increased range. So, we shall assume that the angle of jumping will be  as the horizontal range is maximum at this angle.

Step 1 of 3<

/p>

The legs have an extension of 0.600 m in the crouch position.

So,  m

The person is at rest initially, so the initial velocity will be zero.

The acceleration is  m/s2

Acceleration  m/s2

Let the final velocity be .

Step 2 of 3<

/p>

Substitute the above given values in the kinematic equation  ,

m/s

Therefore, the final velocity or jumping speed is  m/s

chubhunter [2.5K]

The question is incomplete! Complete question along with answer and step by step explanation is provided below.

Question:

If you wish to observe features that around the size of atoms, say 1.5×10⁻¹⁰ m, with electromagnetic radiation, the radiation must have a wavelength about the size of the atom itself.

a) If you had a microscope which was capable of doing this, what would the frequency of electromagnetic radiation be, in hertz that you would have to use?

b) What type of electromagnetic radiation would this be?

Given Information:

Wavelength = λ = 1.5×10⁻¹⁰  m

Required Information:

a) Frequency = f = ?

b) Type of electromagnetic radiation = ?

Answer:

a) Frequency = f = 2×10¹⁸ Hz

b) Type of electromagnetic radiation = X-rays

Explanation:

a) The frequency of the electromagnetic radiation is given by

f = c/ λ

Where λ  is the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation and c is the speed of light and its value is 3×10⁸ m/s

f = 3×10⁸/1.5×10⁻¹⁰

f = 2×10¹⁸ Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the electromagnetic radiation would be 2×10¹⁸ Hz.

b)

The frequency range of X-rays is 3×10¹⁶ Hz to 3×10¹⁹ Hz

The frequency 2×10¹⁸ lies in that range, therefore, the type of electromagnetic radiation is X-rays
