Answer:

59°

58.3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the full question :

A ladder is placed 30 inches from a wall. It touches the wall at a height of 50 inches from the ground. The angle made by the ladder with the ground is degrees, and the length of the ladder is inches.

Please check the attached image for a diagram explaining this question

The angle the ladder makes with the ground is labelled x in the diagram

To find the value of x given the opposite and adjacent lengths, use tan

tan⁻¹ (opposite / adjacent)

tan⁻¹  (50 / 30)

tan⁻¹ 1.667

= 59°

the length of the ladder can be determined using Pythagoras theorem

The Pythagoras theorem : a² + b² = c²

where a = length

b = base

c =  hypotenuse

√(50² + 30²)

√(2500 + 900)

√3400

= 58.3 inches

Answer:

59.04°

58.31 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution triangle is attached below :

Since we have a right angled triangle, we can apply trigonometry to obtain the angle ladder makes with the ground;

Let the angle = θ

Tanθ = opposite / Adjacent

Tanθ = 50/30

θ = tan^-1(50/30)

θ = 59.036°

θ = 59.04°

The length of ladder can be obtained using Pythagoras :

Length of ladder is the hypotenus :

Hence,

Hypotenus = √(adjacent² + opposite²)

Hypotenus = √(50² + 30²)

Hypotenus = √(2500 + 900)

Hypotenus = 58.309

Length of ladder = 58.31 inches

A particle travels along a straight line, in a given direction, with constant acceleration. At instant t0 = 0, the magnitude of
8_murik_8 [283]

a) The motion described by the particle is undoubtedly a uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion, since the trajectory is rectilinear and the acceleration is constant.

b) In order to calculate the acceleration, we must apply the formula mentioned above, in such a way that the acceleration gives us:

\boldsymbol{a=\dfrac{v-v_{o}}{t-t_{o} }=\dfrac{25-5}{10-0 }=\dfrac{20}{10}=2 \ m/s^2    }

Our acceleration is 2 meters per second squared.

c) We are asked to calculate the function of velocity in relation to time, we simply substitute in the formula.

\boldsymbol{v=v0+at }\\\boldsymbol{v=2+5t }

Very easy!!.

d) To know what speed the particle will have at the instant of t = 8s, it is enough to substitute the value of “t” in the previous formula.

\boldsymbol{v=5+2(8)=5+16=21 \ m/s }

So the speed at time t = 8s is 21 m/s²

e) In this case we are asked to determine at what instant of time the particle will have a speed of 15 m/s, we replace this value in the formula, simply clearing the variable "t", that is:

\boldsymbol{v=v_{0}+at }

Clearing "t"

\boldsymbol{t=\dfrac{v-v_{o}}{a}  }

Substituting the speed value

\boldsymbol{t=\dfrac{v-v_{o}}{a}=\dfrac{15-5}{2}=\dfrac{10}{2}=5 \ seg    }

That is to say that when the particle has a speed of 15 m/s, it will happen exactly at 5 seconds.
