A) The answer is 11.53 m/s
The final kinetic energy (KEf) is the sum of initial kinetic energy (KEi) and initial potential energy (PEi).
KEf = KEi + PEi
Kinetic energy depends on mass (m) and velocity (v)
KEf = 1/2 m * vf²
KEi = 1/2 m * vi²
Potential energy depends on mass (m), acceleration (a), and height (h):
PEi = m * a * h
So:
KEf = KEi + <span>PEi
</span>1/2 m * vf² = 1/2 m * vi² + m * a * h
..
Divide all sides by m:
1/2 vf² = 1/2 vi² + a * h
We know:
vi = 9.87 m/s
a = 9.8 m/s²
h = 1.81 m
1/2 vf² = 1/2 * 9.87² + 9.8 * 1.81
1/2 vf² = 48.71 + 17.74
1/2 vf² = 66.45
vf² = 66.45 * 2
vf² = 132.9
vf = √132.9
vf = 11.53 m/s
b) The answer is 6.78 m
The kinetic energy at the bottom (KE) is equal to the potential energy at the highest point (PE)
KE = PE
Kinetic energy depends on mass (m) and velocity (v)
KE = 1/2 m * v²
Potential energy depends on mass (m), acceleration (a), and height (h):
PE = m * a * h
KE = PE
1/2 m * v² = m * a * h
Divide both sides by m:
1/2 * v² = a * h
v = 11.53 m/s
a = 9.8 m/s²
h = ?
1/2 * 11.53² = 9.8 * h
1/2 * 132.94 = 9.8 * h
66.47 = 9.8 * h
h = 66.47 / 9.8
h = 6.78 m
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
