Answer:

Vf = 29.4 m/s

h = 44.1 m

Explanation:

Data:

Initial Velocity (Vo) = 0 m/s
Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Time (t) = 3 s
Final Velocity (Vf) = ?
Height (h) = ?

==================================================================

Final Velocity

Use formula:

Vf = g * t

Replace:

Vf = 9.8 m/s² * 3s

Multiply:

Vf = 29.4 m/s

==================================================================

Height

Use formula:

$\boxed{h=\frac{g*(t)^{2}}{2}}$

Replace:

$\boxed{h=\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*(3s)^{2}}{2}}$

Multiply time squared:

$\boxed{h=\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*9s^{2}}{2}}$

Simplify the s², and multiply in the numerator:

$\boxed{h=\frac{88.2m}{2}}$

It divides:

$\boxed{h=44.1\ m}$

What is the velocity when falling to the ground?

The final velocity is <u>29.4 meters per seconds.</u>

How high is the building?

The height of the building is <u>44.1 meters.</u>

Write down Newton's second law in terms of momentum and acceleration. Write down this law in the form of differential equation (

svetoff [14.1K]

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied unbalanced force. The mathematical expression is given by:

$F=\dfrac{d(mv)}{dt}$

Where

F is the applied force

m is the mass of the object

v is the velocity with which it is moving

$F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

Momentum of a particle is given by the product of mass and velocity as :

$p=mv$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Henry will lift 200 N load 20 m up a ladder in 40 s. While the Ricardo will take 400 N load in 80 seconds. So, For Henry to take 400 N load it will take him 80 seconds in two attempts. And,also, he will have to cover 40 m of distance.

A 16.2 kg person climbs up a uniform ladder with negligible mass. The upper end of the ladder rests on a frictionless wall. The

S_A_V [24]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the balance of forces. We will decompose the forces in the vertical and horizontal sense, and at the same time, we will perform summation of torques to eliminate some variables and obtain a system of equations that allow us to obtain the angle.

The forces in the vertical direction would be,

$\sum F_x = 0$

$f-N_w = 0$

$N_w = f$

The forces in the horizontal direction would be,

$\sum F_y = 0$

$N_f -W =0$

$N_f = W$

The sum of Torques at equilibrium,

$\sum \tau = 0$

$Wdcos\theta - N_wLsin\theta = 0$

$WdCos\theta = fLSin\theta$

$f = \frac{Wd}{Ltan\theta}$

The maximum friction force would be equivalent to the coefficient of friction by the person, but at the same time to the expression previously found, therefore

$f_{max} = \mu W=\frac{Wd}{Ltan\theta}$
