Answer:

250 J

Explanation:

Apply the formula:

K = 1/2.m.v²

K = 1/2.5.10²

K = 1/2.5.100

K = 5.50

K = 250 Joules

But, remember that if the speed is accelerating or not, if it is, then we need to know the point in time that the question is asking for the Kinetic Energy.

In this case, I think it is just a constant speed.

A 15 m ladder with a mass of 51 kg is leaning against a frictionless wall, which makes an angle of 60 degrees with the horizonta

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

Mass of ladder is 51kg

Then, it weight is

WL = mg = 51 × 9.81 = 500.31N

This weight will act at the midpoint of the ladder

Length of ladder is 15m

The ladder makes an angle 55°C with the horizontal

An object whose mass is 81kg is at 4m from the bottom of the ladder

Then, weight of object

Wo = mg = 81 × 9.81 = 794.61 N

Using newton second law

Check attachment

Ng is normal force on the ground

Ff is the horizontal frictional force

Nw Is the normal force on the wall

ΣFy = 0

Ng = Wo + WL

Ng = 794.61 + 500.31

Ng = 1294.92 N

Also

ΣFx = 0

Ff — Nw = 0

Then,

Ff = Nw

Now taking moment about point A.

Check attachment

using the principle of equilibrium

Sum of clockwise moment equals to sum of anti-clockwise moment

Also note that the Normal force on the wall is not perpendicular to the ladder, so we will resolve that and also the weights of ladder and weight of object

Clockwise = Anticlockwise

Wo•Cos60 × 4 + WL•Cos60 × 7.5 = Nw•Sin60 × 15

794.61Cos60 × 4 + 500.31Cos60 × 7.5 = Nw × Sin60 × 15

1589.22 + 1876.163 = 12.99•Nw

3465.383 = 12.99•Nw

Nw = 3465.383 / 12.99

Nw = 266.77 N

Since, Nw = Ff

Then, Ff = 266.77N

the horizontal force exerted by the ground on the ladder is 266.77 N

The top pair of pliers failed to loosen a stubborn bolt, but the bottom pair successfully removed it.

Lesechka [4]

The top pair of pliers failed to loosen a stubborn bolt, but the bottom pair successfully removed it. Because the contact between the bolt and the pliers working surface is less.

<h3>What is mechanical advantage ?</h3>

Mechanical advantage is a measure of the ratio of output force to input force in a system, it is used to obtained efficiency of the given mechanical machine.

The efficiency to open the stubborn bolt depends upon the contact between the working surface of the pliers and the bolt.

The contact between the bolt and the top pair of pliers working surface is less. Its mechanical advantage is less.

Hence, the top pair of pliers failed to loosen a stubborn bolt, but the bottom pair successfully removed it.

To learn more about the mechanical advantage, refer to the link;

Starting from rest, a basketball rolls from top of a hill to the bottom, reaching a translational speed of 6.8 m/s. Ignore frict

kkurt [141]

Answer:

Explanation:

for baseball

(a) Let the mass of the baseball is m.

radius of baseball is r.

Total kinetic energy of the baseball, T = rotational kinetic energy + translational kinetic energy

T = 0.5 Iω² + 0.5 mv²

Where, I be the moment of inertia and ω be the angular speed.

ω = v/r

T = 0.5 x 2/3 mr² x v²/r² + 0.5 mv²

T = 0.83 mv²

According to the conservation of energy, the total kinetic energy at the bottom is equal to the total potential energy at the top.

m g h = 0.83 mv²

where, h be the height of the top of the hill.

9.8 x h = 0.83 x 6.8 x 6.8

h = 3.93 m

(b) Let the velocity of juice can is v'.

moment of inertia of the juice can = 1/2mr²

So, total kinetic energy

T = 0.5 x I x ω² + 0.5 mv²

T = 0.5 x 0.5 x m x r² x v²/r² + 0.5 mv²

m g h = 0.75 mv²

9.8 x 3.93 = 0.75 v²

v = 7.2 m/s
