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

The force of attraction between a -165.0 uC and +115.0 C charge is 6.00 N. What is the separation between these two charges in m
Simora [160]

Answer:

  • The distance between the charges is 5,335.026 m

Explanation:

To obtain the forces between the particles, we can use Coulomb's Law in scalar form, this is, the force between the particles will be:

F = k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}

where k is Coulomb's constant, q_1 and q_2 are the charges and d is the distance between the charges.

Working a little the equation, we can take:

d^2 = k \frac{q_1 q_2}{F}

d = \sqrt{ k \frac{q_1 q_2}{F}}

And this equation will give us the distance between the charges. Taking the values of the problem

k= 9.00 \ 10^9 \frac{N \ m^2}{C^2} \\q_1 = 165.0 \mu C \\q_2 = 115.0 C\\F=- 6.00

(the force has a minus sign, as its attractive)

d = \sqrt{ 9.00 \ 10^9 \frac{N \ m^2}{C^2} \frac{(165.0 \mu C) (115.0 C)}{- 6.00 \ N}}

d = \sqrt{ 9.00 \ 10^9 \frac{N \ m^2}{C^2} \frac{(165.0 \mu C) (115.0 C)}{- 6.00 \ N}}

d = \sqrt{ 28,462,500 \ m^2}}

d = 5,335.026 m

And this is the distance between the charges.

If you travel 1.7 km north from your house at noon, and at 6:00 PM you travel 5.4 km south, what is your displacement? 3.7 km no
Yakvenalex [24]

<u>Answer</u>

3.7 Km south


<u>Explanation</u>

The definition of displacement is the distance traveled in a specific direction. It is the vector quantity. We add displacements like the way we add vectors.

Taking the direction towards North to be positive (+1.7 Km), the distance towards south would be negative (-5.4 Km).

Now lets add the two values.

(+1.7) + (-5.4) = 1.7 - 5.4

                    = - 3.7 Km      But negative was towards south.

∴ Answer = 3.7 Km south.

Answer 1-8 please <br> Thanks
Y_Kistochka [10]
The answers are as follows:
1. B.
A typical atom is made up of three different particles, which are electron, proton and neutron. The proton and the neutron are located inside the nucleus of the atom while the electron orbit round the nucleus.
2. C
The number of proton in an atom determines the atomic number of that atom. Atom are positively charged particles and they do no participate in chemical reactions. The number of proton of an element remain constant at all time while the number of neutrons and the electrons in the atom may change.
3. B.
The first periodic table was created by Dmitri. He arranged the periodic table in such a way that, elements with similar properties fall into the same column in his periodic table. This was because, he arranged the periodic table on the basis of their physical and chemical properties.
4. A
The elements in the periodic table are arranged in horizontal row and vertical column. The column on the periodic table divides the elements into groups.
A row of element on the periodic table is called PERIOD. For elements on the same period, they have the same number of atomic orbitals.
5. A
Chemical symbol refers to the one or two letters which are used to represent a particular element. Chemical symbols are derived in a variety of ways. The chemical symbols make it possible for one to recognize an element quickly and to write it in an abbreviated form when writing chemical equations.
6. A.
An object is said to be ductile if it can be pulled into a long wire. It refers to an element's capacity to be pulled into a thin wire without the element been deformed. This is one of the properties of metals. Ductability makes it easier for one to work with a metal.
7. C
When metals atoms react with other atoms, the metal atoms lose electrons, this is because, metals usually have a low number of electrons in their outermost shells, which they always preferred to donate in order to achieve octet form.
8. B
Particle accelerator is a machine that accelerate elementary particles to very high energies, thus producing beam of charged particles which can be used for a lot of different purposes.
