Answer: µ=0.205
Explanation:
The horizontal forces acting on the ladder are the friction(f) at the floor and the normal force (Fw) at the wall. For horizontal equilibrium,
f=Fw
The sum of the moments about the base of the ladder Is 0
ΣM = 0 = Fw*L*sin74.3º - (25.8kg*(L/2) + 67.08kg*0.82L)*cos74.3º*9.8m/s²
Note that it doesn't matter WHAT the length of the ladder is -- it cancels.
Solve this for Fw.
0= 0.9637FwL - (67.91L)2.652
Fw=180.1/0.9637
Fw=186.87N
f=186.81N
Since Fw=f
We know Fw, so we know f.
But f = µ*Fn
where Fn is the normal force at the floor --
Fn = (25.8 + 67.08)kg * 9.8m/s² =
910.22N
so
µ = f / Fn
186.81/910.22
µ= 0.205
Answer:
141.78 ft
Explanation:
When speed, u = 44mi/h, minimum stopping distance, s = 44 ft = 0.00833 mi.
Calculating the acceleration using one of Newton's equations of motion:
Note: The negative sign denotes deceleration.
When speed, v = 79mi/h, the acceleration is equal to when it is 44mi/h i.e. -116206.48 mi/h^2
Hence, we can find the minimum stopping distance using:
The minimum stopping distance is 141.78 ft.
Answer:
One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.
Explanation:
This hypothesis is based on the fact that the speed of sound in air is v = 343 m / s with a small variation with temperature.
The speed of sound in solid soil is an average of the speed of its constituent media, giving values between
wood 3900 m / s
concrete 4000 m / s
fabrics 1540 m / s
earth 5000 m / s wave S
ground 7000 m / s P wave
we can see that the speed on solid earth is an order of magnitude greater than in air.
One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.
From the initial information, the wave going through the ground should arrive first.
