A large refrigerator (mass 80kg) sits at rest inside a house. The homeowner wants to move the refrigerator across the room, so s

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

400 N

Explanation:

By the law of friction,

$F=\mu R$

$F$ is the maximum frictional force, $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction and $R$ is the reaction on the refrigerator. On a horizontal surface, the reaction is equal to the weight of the refrigerator.

$R=mg$

$F=\mu mg$

While not moving, the fricition on the refrigerator is static friction. So, $\mu=0.65$

$F=0.65 \times80\times9.8=509.6 \text{ N}$

This is the maximum frictional force and is more than the applied horizontal force of 400 N. Frictional force cannot be more than the applied force, else it would actually pull the refrigerator backwards (a strange thing, if it were to happen). It is equal to the extent of the applied force because the applied force is not enough to overcome the maximum.

Hence the frictional force is 400 N.

PS: Note that we do not use the coefficient of kinetic friction because applied force could not overcome the static friction.

An object is projected from the ground with an upward speed of ų m/s has a speed of 23m/s when it is at a height of 5m above the

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

25.08m/s

Explanation:

mgh1 + 0.5mv1² = mgh2 + 0.5mv2²

h1 = 0m

v1 = u

h2 = 5m

v2 = 23m/s

putting the values into the formula above;

m(10)(0) + 0.5m(u²) = m(10)(5) + 0.5m(23²)

0 + 0.5mu² = 50m + 264.5m

0.5mu² = 314.5m

dividing through by m

0.5u² = 314.5

u² = 629

u = 25.08m/s

Therefore, the initial speed "u" = 25m/s

A scientist measures the growth of a bamboo plant over time. The table above shows the results. What is the best interference fo

lisabon 2012 [21]

(B) 2.25cm

Explanation:

Given:

At 40 hours, the height of the bamboo plant is 2.1cm

At 50 hours, the height of the bamboo plant is 2.4cm

Height of the bamboo plant after 45 hours = ?

The difference in length from 40 to 50 hours = 2.4 - 2.1cm

= 0.3 cm

Mean of 40 and 50 is 45.

Thus,

At 45 hours, the height will increase by 0.3/2

= 0.15 cm

Height at 45 hour = 2.1 + 0.15cm

= 2.25cm

Therefore, the height of the plant after 45 hours is 2.25cm
