A ladder 25 feet long is leaning against a house. The base of the ladder is pulled away at a rate of 2 ft/sec.
a.) How fast is the top of the ladder moving down the wall when the base of the ladder is 12 feet from the wall?
Answer:
dy/dt = -1.094ft/sec
Explanation:
Given that:
dz/dt = 0,
dx/dt = 2,
dy/dt = ?
Hence, we have the following
Using Pythagoras theorem
We have 25ft as the hypotenuse, y as the opposite or height of wall, and x as the base of the triangle
X² + y² = z²,
12² + y² = 25²,
y² = 25² - 12²
y = √481
Therefore, we have the following:
2x dx/dt + 2y dy/dt,
= 2z dz/dt,
= 12 (2) √481 dy/dt,
= √481 dy/dt = -24,
= dy/dt = -1.094ft/sec
Therefore, final answer is -1.094ft/sec
The basic unit that represents the quantum nature of electricity is the charge of the electron, represented with the symbols

, which corresponds to

The quantum nature of electricity was demonstrated for the first time by Millikan, in its oil drop experiment. In this experiment, Millikan put charged oil drops between two metallic plates, applying a potential difference across them, such that the electrical force acting on the drops was in balance with their weight. Knowing the intensity of the electric field and the mass of the drops, he was able to determine the charge of the oil drops, and he found that this charge was always an integer multiple of a certain value, exactly

Answer:
Explanation:
Basically the star slowly burns its hydrogen into Helium. Depending on the mass, the star will have a turbulent core where the Helium will be fully mixed or a radiative core where the helium will settle at the centre (remember it's heavier than Hydrogen). The second case is what happens in the Sun.
We are given information:

If we apply Newton's second law we can calculate acceleration:
F = m * a
a = F / m
a = 25000 / 10000
a = 2.5 m/s^2
Now we can use this information to calculate change of speed.
a = v / t
v = a * t
v = 2.5 * 120
v = 300 m/s
Force is being applied in direction that is opposite to a direction in which space craft is moving. This means that final speed will be reduced.
v = 1200 - 300
v = 900 m/s
Formula for momentum is:
p = m * v
Initial momentum:
p = 10000 * 1200
p = 12 000 000
p = 12 *10^6 kg*m/s
Final momentum:
p = 10000 * 900
p = 9 000 000
p = 9 *10^6 kg*m/s
