PE = mgh

so (75kg)(9.8m/s2)(100m) = 73,500 Joules

KE = 1/2 m * v^2

so (1/2)(75kg)(60m/s)^2 = 135,000 Joules

ME = 208,500 Joules

A 16 foot ladder is leaning against a wall. If the top of the ladder slides down the wall at a rate of 3 feet per second, how fa
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

11.625

Explanation:

L = length of the ladder = 16 ft

v_{y} = rate at which top of ladder slides down = - 3 ft/s

v_{x} = rate at which bottom of ladder slides

y = distance of the top of ladder from the ground

x = distance of bottom of ladder from wall = 4 ft

Using Pythagorean theorem

L² = x² + y²

16² = 4² + y²

y = 15.5 ft

Also using Pythagorean theorem

L² = x² + y²

Taking derivative both side relative to "t"

0 = 2x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t} + 2y\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}

0 = x v_{x} + y v_{y}

0 = 4 v_{x} + (15.5) (- 3)

v_{x} = 11.625 ft/s
