Answer:

105.1N

Explanation:

According to the newton second law

$\sum F_x = ma_x\\F_m - F_f = ma_x\\$

Since the acceleration is zero, then;

$F_m - F_f = 0\\Fm = F_f\\$

Since;

$F_m = mg sin \theta, \ hence \ F_f = mg sin \theta$

Given the following

mass of ladder m = 14kg

acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8m/s²

θ = 50°

Substitute

$F_f = 14(9.8)sin50\\F_f = 14(7.5072)\\F_f = 105.1N\\$

Hence the magnitude of the friction force (in N) exerted on the ladder in the point of contact with the horizontal surface is 105.1N

Colt1911 [192]

1) Distance: 9 m, displacement: +5 m

2) The average speed is 3 m/s

3) The average velocity is +2 m/s

Explanation:

1)

We start by reminding the definitions of distance and displacement:

- Distance: it is the total length of the path covered by an object, regardless of the direction of motion

- Displacement: is the distance in a straight line between the initial position and final position of motion

Let's now analyze the motion represented in the figure:

Initial position: $x_0 = -1 m$

Intermediate position: $x_1 = +6 m$

Final position: $x_2 = +4 m$

Therefore, the distance covered is

$distance = |x_1-x_0|+|x_2-x_1|=|+6-(-1)|+|+4-(+6)|=7+2=9 m$

While the displacement is:

$displacement = x_2 - x_1 = +4 - (-1) = +5 m$

2)

The average speed is a scalar quantity defined as

$speed=\frac{d}{t}$

where

d is the distance travelled

t is the time taken

For the object in this problem,

d = 6 m

t = 2 s

Substituting, we find the average speed:

$speed = \frac{6 m}{2 s}=3 m/s$

3)

The average velocity is a vector quantity defined as

$velocity = \frac{d}{t}$

where

d is the displacement

t is the time interval

For the object in this problem,

d = +12 m

t = 6 s

Substituting, we find the average velocity:

$velocity=\frac{+12 m}{6s}=+2 m/s$

Where the positive sign + indicates the direction of the velocity vector.

In a race, Usain Bolt accelerates at

jeka94

Answer:

65.87 s

Explanation:

For the first time,

Applying

v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance

From the question,

Given: u = 0 m/s (from rest), a = 1.99 m/s², s = 60 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

v² = 0²+2(1.99)(60)

v² = 238.8

v = √238.8

v = 15.45 m/s

Therefore, time taken for the first 60 m is

t = (v-u)/a............ Equation 2

t = (15.45-0)/1.99

t = 7.77 s

For the final 40 meter,

t = (v-u)/a

Given: v = 0 m/s(decelerates), u = 15.45 m/s, a = -0.266 m/s²

Substitute into the equation above

t = (0-15.45)/-0.266

t = 58.1 seconds

Hence total time taken to cover the distance

T = 7.77+58.1

T = 65.87 s

8. A tortoise moves a distance of 100 metres in 15 minutes. What is the average speed of

myrzilka [38]

Answer: 0.4 km/h

100 m = 0.1 km
15min./60min. = 0.25 hr

so, divide the total distance (100 m) by the total time (15 min)
0.1 km/0.25 hr = 0.4

Two large parallel conducting plates are 8.0 cm apart and carry equal but opposite charges on their facing surfaces. The magnitu

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

18.1 V

Explanation:

The electric field between two parallel plates is given by the equation:

$E=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}$

where

$\sigma$ is the charge surface density

$\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m$ is the vacuum permittivity

For the plates in this problem,

$\sigma = 2.0 nC/m^2 = 2.0\cdot 10^{-9} C/m^2$

So, the magnitude of the electric field is

$E=\frac{2.0\cdot 10^{-9}}{8.85\cdot 10^{-12}}=226.0 V/m$

Now we can find the potential difference between the plates, which is given by

$\Delta V = E d$

where

d = 8.0 cm = 0.08 m is the separation between the plates

Substituting,

$\Delta V=(226.0)(0.08)=18.1 V$
