Answer:

a_{c} =  13.46\ m/s^2

Explanation:

The motion of the tethered ball around the pole can be modeled as uniform circular motion. The acceleration of the objects executing uniform circular motion is due to the change in direction of their velocity. This is called centripetal acceleration. It is given by the following formula:

a_{c} = \frac{v^2}{r}

where,

ac = centripetal acceleration = ?

v = speed of ball = 3.5 m/s

r = distance of ball from center of rotation = 0.91 m

Using these values in equation, we get:

a_{c} = \frac{(3.5\ m/s)^2}{0.91\ m}\\\\a_{c} =  13.46\ m/s^2

A fence 8 ft high​ (w) runs parallel to a tall building and is 24 ft​ (d) from it. Find the length​ (L) of the shortest ladder t
AveGali [126]

Answer:

25.3 ft

Explanation:

The illustration of the problem is shown the attached image.

The length of the ladder can be calculated using the Pythagoras theorem:

Hypotenuse^2 = opposite^2 + adjacent^2

The hypotenuse is the length of the ladder.

Hypotenuse = \sqrt{opposite^2 + adjacent^2}

L^2 = BC^2 + (24 + AE)^2........1

Triangle ABC is similar to triangle AEF, hence:

\frac{BC}{8} = \frac{AE + 24}{AE}

BC = \frac{8(AE + 24)}{AE}.................2

Substitute 2 into 1

L^2 = (\frac{8(AE + 24)}{AE})^2 + (24 + AE)^2

Let AE = x

L^2 = (\frac{8x + 192}{x})^2 + (24 + x)^2

    = (8 + \frac{192}{x})^2 + (24 + x)^2

Minimize L with respect to x.

2\frac{dL}{dx} = 2(8 + \frac{192}{x})(-\frac{192}{x^2}) + 2(24 + x)

       =

What is reflection of light
AnnZ [28]

Answer: When a ray of light approaches a smooth polished surface and the light ray bounces back, it is called the reflection of light. The incident light ray which lands upon the surface is said to be reflected off the surface. The ray that bounces back is called the reflected ray.<u> </u>

1. The property of a conductor by virtue of which it posses the flow of electric current through it is called resistance.

2. The resistance of a conductor depends on the cross sectional area of the conductor and it's resistivity.

3.This id due to the fact that the resistance of a wire is inversely proportional to the square of its diameter.

4.Due to at high temperatures , the alloy donot oxidize. Alloy doesn't melt readily and get deformed.
