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.

Answer:

56.86153 N

Explanation:

t =Time taken

F = Force

Power

$P=\frac{W}{t}\\\Rightarrow W=P\times t\\\Rightarrow W=77\times 0.96\\\Rightarrow W=73.92\ Joules$

Work done

$W=F\times s\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{W}{s}\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{73.92}{1.3}\\\Rightarrow F=56.86153\ N$

The magnitude of the force that is exerted on the handle is 56.86153 N

Consider the following three objects, each of the same mass and radius: (1) a solid sphere (2) a solid disk (3) a hoop All three

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is

a) 1, 2, 3

Explanation:

In rolling down an inclined plane, the potential energy is Transferred to both linear and rotational kinetic energy thus

PE = KE or mgh = 1/2×m×v² + 1/2×I×ω²

The transformation equation fom potential to kinetic energy is =

m×g×h = $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{2}{5} mr^{2} )(\frac{v}{r}) ^{2}$

$v_{Sphere}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{10}{7} gh}$

$v_{Hoop}$ = $\sqrt{gh}$

$v_{Disc}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{4}{3} gh}$

Therefore the order is with increasing rotational kinetic energy hence

the first is the sphere 1 followed by the disc 2 then the hoop 3

the correct order is a, 1, 2, 3

The ____ of a position-time graph represents an object’s velocity.

Marianna [84]

Answer:

The slope of a position-time graph represents an object’s velocity.

Explanation:

In a position-time graph, the values on the x-axis represent the time, while the values on the y-axis represent the position of the object.

Velocity is defined as the ratio between the displacement of an object and the time taken:

$v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}$

However, we can see that this definition corresponds to the slope of the curve in a position-time graph. In fact:

$\Delta s$ , the displacement, corresponds to the difference in position, so the difference between the values on the y-axis: $\Delta s=y_2 -y_1$

$\Delta t$ , the time interval, corresponds to the difference in times, so the difference between the values on the x-axis: $\Delta t= t_2 -t_1=x_2 -x_1$

So, the velocity is

$v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}=\frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}$

which corresponds to the slope of the curve.

When light is directed on a metal surface, the kinetic energies of the photoelectrons a) are random b) vary with the frequency o

jekas [21]

Answer:

b) vary with the frequency of the light

Explanation:

The phone electric effect can be expressed as

K.E=(hv -W•)

Where K.E is the Kinectic energy

W• = work function of the metal

ν =frequency of the radiation

h = Planck's constat

Then, we can see that K.E is proportional linearly to "v" in the equation above.

Therefore, When light is directed on a metal surface, the kinetic energies of the photoelectrons vary with the frequency of the light

A car is traveling north at 17.7 m/s . After 6 it’s velocity is 141 in the same direction. Find the magnitude and direction of t

Furkat [3]

By equation of motion we have v = u + at

Where u = Initial velocity, v = final velocity, t = time taken and a = acceleration

Here v = 141 m/s, u = 17.7 m/s and t = 6 s

On substitution we will get

141 = 17.7+ 6a

So, a = (141-17.7)/6 = 20. 55 m/ $s^{2}$

Aceeleration = 20. 55 m/ $s^{2}$ along north direction.
