A uniform ladder stands on a rough floor and rests against a frictionless wall. Since the floor is rough, it exerts both a norma

l force N1 and a frictional force f1 on the ladder. However, since the wall is frictionless, it exerts only a normal force N2 on the ladder. The ladder has a length of L = 4.6m, a weight of WL= 69.0N , and rests against the wall a distance d = 3.75 m above the floor. If a person with a mass of m = 90 kg is standing on the ladder, determine the forces exerted on the ladder when the person is halfway up the ladder.

Answer:

The  normal force N1 exerted by the floor is  N_1 = 951 \ N

The  normal force N2 exerted by the wall is  N_2= 616.43 \ N

The frictional force exerted by the wall is  f  = N_2 = 616.43 \ N  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The length of the ladder is  L =  4.6 \ m

    The weight of the ladder  is

    The distance of the ladder position on the wall from the floor is  D = 3.75 \ m

     The mass of the person is  m =  90 kg

Applying Pythagoras theorem

The length of the position the ladder on the ground from the base of the wall is

    A  =  \sqrt{L^ 2 -  D^2}

substituting values

    A =  \sqrt{(4.6^2)-(3.75^2)}

    A = 2.66 \  m

  In order the for the ladder not to shift from the ground the sum of the moment about the position of the ladder on the ground must be equal to zero this is mathematically represented as

        \sum M = 0  = N_2 * D - [\frac{1}{2} * W_L ] * [(mg) *A  ]

         \sum M = 0  = N_2 * 3.75 - [\frac{1}{2} * 69.0 ] * [(90*9.8) * \frac{4.6}{2.66} ]

        N_2 * 3.75 =2311.62

        N_2 * 3.75 =2311.62

        N_2= 616.43 \ N

Now the force exerted by the floor on the ladder is mathematically represented as

           N_1 =  W_L  + (m * g )

substituting values

          N_1 = 951 \ N

Now the horizontal forces acting on the ladder are N_2 \ and  \ f and they are in opposite direction so

     f  = N_2 = 616.43 \ N

A mass m = 75 kg slides on a frictionless track that has a drop, followed by a loop-the-loop with radius R = 19.2 m and finally
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The velocity is 19.39 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass, m = 75 kg

Radius, R = 19.2 m

Now,

When the mass is at the top position in the loop, then the necessary centrifugal force is to keep the mass on the path is provided by the gravitational force acting downwards.

F_{C} = F_{G}

\frac{mv^{2}}{R} = mg

where

v = velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

v = \sqrt{2gR} = \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 19.2} = 19.39\ m/s

A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 h 30 min. She then makes a course correction, heading 10 degrees to the right of her orig
atroni [7]

Answer:

The plane is 2353.7 mi from the starting position.

Explanation:

Please, see the attached figure for a graphic representation of the problem.

We have 2 displacement vectors "a" and "b" and a vector "c" that is the sum of vectors "a" plus "b" (c = a + b). The module of "c" will be the distance of the plane from the starting point.

vector a = (xa, ya)

vector b = (xb, yb)

where “xa” and “xb” are the horizontal components of the vectors “a” and “b” respectively and “ya” and “yb” are the vertical components of each vector.

Then, the vector c = a + b will be:

c = (xa + xb, ya + yb)

The module of a vector is calculated using the following expression for a vector “v”:

module of v = \sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2} }

Then, the module of c will be:

module of c = \sqrt{(xa + xb)^{2} + (ya + yb)^{2}} = distance from starting point

Then, we have to find the components of vectors “a” and “b”

The distance traveled during the first 1.5 hours of the trip is the module of the vector “a”. Then:

module of a = \sqrt{xa^{2} + ya^{2} } = distance traveled during the first 1.5 hours.

The distance can be calculated using the equation of the position of an object moving in a straight line at constant speed:

x = x0 + v * t

where

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v = speed

t = time

Considering x0 as the starting point (x0 = 0)

x = 675 mi/h * 1.5 h = 1012.5 mi

Then:

module of a = \sqrt{xa^{2} + ya^{2} } = 1012. 5 mi

Since the plane moves only on the horizontal (see figure), the "y" component of the vector, "ya", will be 0.

Then:

(1012.5 mi)² = xa²

xa = 1012. 5mi

a = (1012.5 mi, 0)

In the same way, we have fo find the components of the vector “b”. The module of “b” will be the distance traveled during this part of the flight:

module of b = \sqrt{xb^{2} + yb^{2} } = x = x0 + v * t

Considering x0 as the point at which the plane turns (x0 = 0)

x = 675 mi / h * 2 h = 1350 mi

Using trigonometry, we can calculate xb and yb (see figure):

sin angle = opposite / hypotenuse

cos angle = adjacent / hypotenuse

In this case:

opposite = yb

adjacent = xb

hypotenuse = module of “b”

Then:

sin 10° = yb / module of “b”

sin 10° * module of “b” = yb

In the same way:

cos 10° * module of “b” = xb

Since module of “b” = 1350 mi

xb = 1329.5 mi

yb = 234.4 mi

b = (1329.5 mi, 234.4 mi)

The vector c = a+b can now be calculated:

c = (xa + xb, ya + yb)

c =(1012.5 mi + 1329.5 mi, 0 mi + 234.4 mi) = (2342 mi, 234.4 mi)

The module of c will be:

module of c = \sqrt{(2342 mi)^{2} + (234.4 mi)^{2} } = 2353.7 mi

The plane is 2353.7 mi from the starting position.

A quarterback passes a football from height h = 2.1 m above the field, with initial velocity v0 = 13.5 m/s at an angle θ = 32° a
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

a)    x = v₀² sin 2θ / g

b)    t_total = 2 v₀ sin θ / g

c)    x = 16.7 m

Explanation:

This is a projectile launching exercise, let's use trigonometry to find the components of the initial velocity

        sin θ = v_{oy} / vo

        cos θ = v₀ₓ / vo

         v_{oy} = v_{o} sin θ

         v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ

         v_{oy} = 13.5 sin 32 = 7.15 m / s

         v₀ₓ = 13.5 cos 32 = 11.45 m / s

a) In the x axis there is no acceleration so the velocity is constant

         v₀ₓ = x / t

          x = v₀ₓ t

the time the ball is in the air is twice the time to reach the maximum height, where the vertical speed is zero

          v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

          0 = v₀ sin θ - gt

          t = v_{o} sin θ / g

         

we substitute

       x = v₀ cos θ (2 v_{o} sin θ / g)

       x = v₀² /g      2 cos θ sin θ

       x = v₀² sin 2θ / g

at the point where the receiver receives the ball is at the same height, so this coincides with the range of the projectile launch,

b) The acceleration to which the ball is subjected is equal in the rise and fall, therefore it takes the same time for both parties, let's find the rise time

at the highest point the vertical speed is zero

          v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

          v_{y} = 0

           t = v_{oy} / g

           t = v₀ sin θ / g

as the time to get on and off is the same the total time or flight time is

           t_total = 2 t

           t_total = 2 v₀ sin θ / g

c) we calculate

          x = 13.5 2 sin (2 32) / 9.8

          x = 16.7 m

Prove the three laws of motion​
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The first law, also called the law of inertia, was pioneered by Galileo. This was quite a conceptual leap because it was not possible in Galileo's time to observe a moving object without at least some frictional forces dragging against the motion. In fact, for over a thousand years before Galileo, educated individuals believed Aristotle's formulation that, wherever there is motion, there is an external force producing that motion.

The second law, $ f(t)=m\,a(t)$ , actually implies the first law, since when $ f(t)=0$ (no applied force), the acceleration $ a(t)$ is zero, implying a constant velocity $ v(t)$ . (The velocity is simply the integral with respect to time of $ a(t)={\dot v}(t)$ .)

Newton's third law implies conservation of momentum [138]. It can also be seen as following from the second law: When one object ``pushes'' a second object at some (massless) point of contact using an applied force, there must be an equal and opposite force from the second object that cancels the applied force. Otherwise, there would be a nonzero net force on a massless point which, by the second law, would accelerate the point of contact by an infinite amount.
