Answer: The bottom of the ladder is moving at 3.464ft/sec
Explanation:
The question defines a right angle triangle. Therefore using pythagorean
h^2 + l^2 = 10^2 = 100 ...eq1
dh/dt = -2ft/sec
dl/ dt = ?
Taking derivatives of time in eq 1 on both sides
2hdh/dt + 2ldl/dt = 0 ....eq2
Putting l = 5ft in eq2
h^ + 5^2 = 100
h^2 = 25 = 100
h Sqrt(75)
h = 8.66 ft
Put h = 8.66ft in eq2
2 × 8.66 × (-2) + 2 ×5 dl/dt
dl/dt = 17.32 / 5
dl/dt = 3.464ft/sec
Complete question:
if two point charges are separated by 1.5 cm and have charge values of +2.0 and -4.0 μC, respectively, what is the value of the mutual force between them.
Answer:
The mutual force between the two point charges is 319.64 N
Explanation:
Given;
distance between the two point charges, r = 1.5 cm = 1.5 x 10⁻² m
value of the charges, q₁ and q₂ = 2 μC and - μ4 C
Apply Coulomb's law;

where;
F is the force of attraction between the two charges
|q₁| and |q₂| are the magnitude of the two charges
r is the distance between the two charges
k is Coulomb's constant = 8.99 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

Therefore, the mutual force between the two point charges is 319.64 N
Answer:
Given
acceleration (a) =1.5ms2
Force(F) =2100N
R. t. c mass (m) =?
Form
F=ma(divided by m both sides)
m=F/a
m=2100/105
m=1400kg
mass of car =1400kg
