Answer: 17.658kJ

Explanation:

The work done in lifting the refridgerator is given my

W = F.d

Where W = Work done, F = Force and d = distance/height to be covered by that force = 6m

But F = mg (this work is done against gravity)

Where m = mass of fridge and g = acceleration due to gravity.

F = 300kg × 9.81m/s^2

= 2943N

W = Fh (where h is the height to be scaled by the force)

W = 2943 × 6

W = 17658J

17.658kJ of work is needed to lift the refridgerator to a height of 6m

A dockworker loading crates on a ship finds that a 21-kg crate, initially at rest on a horizontal surface, requires a 73-N horiz
Nataliya [291]

1) Static friction coefficient: 0.355

The crate is initially at rest. The crate remains at rest until the horizontal pushing force is less than the maximum static frictional force.

The maximum static frictional force is given by

F_s = \mu_s mg

where

\mu_s is the static coefficient of friction

m = 21 kg is the mass of the crate

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

The horizontal force required to set the crate in motion is 73 N: this means that this is the value of the maximum static frictional force. So we have

F_s=73 N

Using this information into the previous equation, we can find the coefficient of static friction:

\mu_s = \frac{F}{mg}=\frac{73 N}{(21 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}=0.355

2) Kinetic friction coefficient: 0.267

Now the crate is in motion: this means that the kinetic friction is acting on the crate, and its magnitude is

F_k = \mu_k mg (1)

where

\mu_k is the coefficient of kinetic friction

There is a horizontal force of

F = 55 N

pushing the crate. Moreover, the speed of the crate is constant: this means that the acceleration is zero, a = 0.

So we can write Newton's second law as

F-F_k = ma = 0

And by substituting (1), we can find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction:

F-\mu_k mg = 0\\\mu_k = \frac{F}{mg}=\frac{55 N}{(21 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}=0.267

physics Test 2 In a double slit experiment, if the separation between the two slits is 0.050 mm and the distance from the slits
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:0.015 m

Explanation:

Given

distance between two slits(d)=0.050 mm

Distance between slit and screen=2.5 m

Wavelength(\lambda )=600 nm

and distance between First order and second order=\frac{D\lambda }{2d}

=\frac{2.5\times 600\times 10^{-9}}{2\times 5\times 10^{-5}}

=15\times 10^{-3}

=0.015 m

During a hard stop, a car and its passengers slow down with an acceleration of 8,0m/s^2. What magnitude force does a 50-kg passe
arlik [135]

Answer:

F = 400 N

Explanation:

Given,

The acceleration of the car, a = 8 m/s²

The mass of the passenger, m = 50 Kg

The force acting on a body is equal to the product of the mass and its acceleration

                                    F = m x a   newtons

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                                     F = 50 Kg x 8 m/s²

                                        = 400 N

Hence, the force exerted by the person on the seat belt is, F = 400 N
