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.)

In order for the refrigerator not to tip over, the maximum acceleration of 1.86 m/s² must not be exceeded.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

The term acceleration has to do with the rate at which velocity changes with time.

We have to take the moments at the tipping point of rotation as follows;

Clockwise moment = Anticlockwise moment

Hence;

F₂ * 1.58 m = F₁ * 0.67 m

The weight at half the width= 30 cm or 0.3 m

Height of refrigerator = 158 cm 0r 1.58 cm

Then;

m * a * 1.58 = m * 9.81 * 0.30

a = 1.86 m/s²

In order for the refrigerator not to tip over, the maximum acceleration of 1.86 m/s² must not be exceeded.

You calculated the density correctly.

When you drop anything into a fluid . . .

-- If the object is MORE dense than the fluid, it sinks.

-- If the object is LESS dense than the fluid, it floats.

In a series circuit, each circuit element has the same:a.currentc.capacitanceb.voltaged.resistance

VARVARA [1.3K]

In a series circuit, each circuit element has the same current. The answer is letter A. This is because the electrons flowing in a current has only a single path to follow. There are no other path that the current moves along.

Is the box moving at a constant speed? Explain how you know. What does this tell you about the kinetic energy of the system

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The box is moved at constant speed, then the change in kinetic energy is zero.

Explanation:

Let suppose that box moves at constant speed, meaning that its kinetic energy ( $K$ ), measured in joules, is expressed by the following equation:

$K = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$m$ - Mass, measured in kilograms.

$v$ - Speed, measured in meters per second.

If the box moves at constant speed, then we notice that $v_{f}^{2}-v_{o}^{2} = 0$ , therefore, $\Delta K = 0$ . In a nutshell, if the box is moved at constant speed, then the change in kinetic energy is zero.
