A uniform ladder of length l rests against a smooth, vertical wall. If the mass of the ladder is m and the coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground is 0.40, find the minimum angle at which the ladder does not slip.
What If? What if a person begins to climb the ladder when the angle is 51°? Will the presence of a person on the ladder make it more or less likely to slip?

Which units can be used to measure length or distance? check all that apply. gram meter kilometer liter inch

Air is contained in a variable-load piston-cylinder device equipped with a paddle wheel. initially, air is at 400 kpa and 17°c. the paddle wheel is now turned by an external electric motor until 75 kj/kg of work has been transferred to air. during this process, heat is transferred to maintain a constant air temperature while allowing the gas volume to triple. calculate the required amount of heat transfer in kj/kg.

You are driving to the grocery store at 20 m/s. you are 110m from an intersection when the traffic light turns red. assume that your reaction time is 0.50s and that your car brakes with constant acceleration. how far are you from the intersection when you begin to apply the brakes? what acceleration will bring you to rest right at the intersection? how long does it take you to stop after the light changes? the known values: vi=20m/s xi=110m t=.50s vf=0m/s xf=0m a=?
