I have no explanation sorry.

A 26 foot ladder is lowered down a vertical wall at a rate of 3 feet per minute. The base of the ladder is sliding away from the

lakkis [162]

Answer:

(i) 7.2 feet per minute.

(ii) No, the rate would be different.

(iii) The rate would be always positive.

(iv) the resultant change would be constant.

(v) 0 feet per min

Explanation:

Let the length of ladder is l, x be the height of the top of the ladder from the ground and y be the length of the bottom of the ladder from the wall,

By making the diagram of this situation,

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

$l^2 = x^2 + y^2-----(1)$

Differentiating with respect to t ( time ),

$0=2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt}$ ( l = 26 feet = constant )

$\implies 2y\frac{dy}{dt} = -2x\frac{dx}{dt}$

$\implies \frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{x}{y}\frac{dx}{dt}$

We have,

$y = 10, \frac{dx}{dt}= -3\text{ feet per min}$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{3x}{10}-----(X)$

(i) From equation (1),

$26^2 = x^2 + 10^2$

$676=x^2 + 100$

$576 = x^2$

$\implies x = 24\text{ feet}$

From equation (X),

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{3\times 24}{10}=7.2\text{ feet per min}$

(ii) From equation (X),

$\frac{dy}{dt}\propto x$

Thus, for different value of x the value of $\frac{dy}{dt}$ would be different.

(iii) Since, distance = Positive number,

So, the value of y will always a positive number.

Thus, from equation (X),

The rate would always be a positive.

(iv) The length of the ladder is constant, so, the resultant change would be constant.

i.e. x = increases ⇒ y = decreases

y = decreases ⇒ y = increases

(v) if ladder hit the ground x = 0,

So, from equation (X),

$\frac{dy}{dt}=0\text{ feet per min}$

What TWO things affect the gravitational force acting on an object?

The strength of the gravitational forces between two masses depends on

-- the product of the masses,

-- the distance between their centers of mass.

A compact disc (CD) stores music in a coded pattern of tiny pits 10−7m deep. The pits are arranged in a track that spirals outwa

andreev551 [17]

(a) 50 rad/s

The angular speed of the CD is related to the linear speed by:

$\omega=\frac{v}{r}$

where

$\omega$ is the angular speed

v is the linear speed

r is the distance from the centre of the CD

When scanning the innermost part of the track, we have

v = 1.25 m/s

r = 25.0 mm = 0.025 m

Therefore, the angular speed is

$\omega=\frac{1.25 m/s}{0.025 m}=50 rad/s$

(b) 21.6 rad/s

As in part a, the angular speed of the CD is given by

$\omega=\frac{v}{r}$

When scanning the outermost part of the track, we have

v = 1.25 m/s

r = 58.0 mm = 0.058 m

Therefore, the angular speed is

$\omega=\frac{1.25 m/s}{0.058 m}=21.6 rad/s$

(c) 5550 m

The maximum playing time of the CD is

$t =74.0 min \cdot 60 s/min = 4,440 s$

And we know that the linear speed of the track is

v = 1.25 m/s

If the track were stretched out in a straight line, then we would have a uniform motion, therefore the total length of the track would be:

$d=vt=(1.25 m/s)(4,440 s)=5,550 m$

(d) $-6.4\cdot 10^{-3} rad/s^2$

The angular acceleration of the CD is given by

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}$

where

$\omega_f = 21.6 rad/s$ is the final angular speed (when the CD is scanned at the outermost part)

$\omega_i = 50.0 rad/s$ is the initial angular speed (when the CD is scanned at the innermost part)

$t=4440 s$ is the time elapsed

Substituting into the equation, we find

$\alpha=\frac{21.6 rad/s-50.0 rad/s}{4440 s}=-6.4\cdot 10^{-3} rad/s^2$
