A truck is carrying a refrigerator as shown in the figure. The height of the refrigerator is 158.0 cm, the width is 60.0 cm. The

center of gravity of the refrigerator is 67.0 cm above the midpoint of the base.
What is the maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator doesn't tip over? (The static friction between the truck and the refrigerator is very large.)

The maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator does not tip over is 4.15 m/s².

<h3>What will be the maximum acceleration of the truck to avoid tipping over?</h3>

The maximum acceleration is obtained by taking clockwise moments about the tipping point of rotation.

Clockwise moment = Anticlockwise moment

Ft * 1.58 m = F * 0.67 m

where

Ft is tipping force = mass * acceleration, a
F is weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity, g

m * a * 1.58 = m * 9.81 * 0.67

a = 4.15 m/s²

The maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator does not tip over is 4.15 m/s².

In conclusion, the acceleration of the truck is found by taking moments about the tipping point.

The block in the figure below has a mass of 5.1 kg and it rests on an incline of angle . You pull on the rope with a force F = 3

viktelen [127]

42.9°

Explanation:

Let's assume that the x-axis is aligned with the incline and the positive direction is up the incline. We can then apply Newton's 2nd law as follows:

$x:\;\;\;\;F - mg\sin{\theta} = 0\;\;\;\;$

$\Rightarrow mg\sin{\theta} = F$

Note that the net force is zero because the block is moving with a constant speed when the angle of the incline is set at $\theta.$ Solving for the angle, we get

$\sin{\theta} = \dfrac{F}{mg}$

or

$\theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{F}{mg}\right)$

$\;\;\;= \sin^{-1}\left[\dfrac{34\:\text{N}}{(5.1\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)}\right]$

$\;\;\;=42.9°$

Which of the following is true about green light? a) It has a greater frequency than red light and blue light. b) It has a small

lesantik [10]

Answer:

c) It has a greater frequency than red light but a smaller frequency than blue light.

Explanation:

According to the relation:

c = frequency × Wavelength

The higher the frequency, the lower the value of wavelength

The order of wavelength is:

Violet < Indigo < Blue < Green < Yellow < Orange < Red

Stated above, frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength. Thus, the order of wavelength is:

Violet > Indigo > Blue > Green > Yellow > Orange > Red

Thus,

<u>Green light has lower frequency than blue light and higher than red light.</u>

A physicist is constructing a solenoid. She has a roll of insulated copper wire and a power supply. She winds a single layer of

Leni [432]

Answer:

P =105.44 W

Explanation:

Given that

D= 10 cm ,L= 60 cm

d= 0.1 cm ,B= 6.4 mT

ρ= 1.7 x 10⁻⁸ Ω · m

The number of turns N

N= L/d

N= 60/0.1 = 600 turns

Length of wire

Lc= πDN

Lc= 3.14 x 0.1 x 600

Lc=188.4 m

The magnetic filed given as

$B=\dfrac{\mu_oNI}{L}$

$I=\dfrac{BL}{\mu_oN}$

Now by putting the values

$I=\dfrac{0.0064\times 0.6}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 600}$

I=5.09 A

The resistance R given as

$R=\dfrac{\rho L_c}{A}$

$A=\dfrac{\pi}{4}\times d^2$

$A=\dfrac{\pi}{4}\times (0.1\times 10^{-2})^2$

$R=\dfrac{1.7\times 10^{-8} \times 188.4}{\dfrac{\pi}{4}\times (0.1\times 10^{-2})^2}$

R=4.07 Ω

Power P

p =I²R

P= 5.09² x 4.07 W

P =105.44 W
