Average acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Average acceleration =

(speed at the end of the 14 seconds) / (14 seconds)

- A fridge has a maximum static friction force
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

They will move the fridge if they all push in the same direction, but it will not move with constant velocity

Explanation:

The maximum static friction force is

F_f = -250 N (negative sign since its direction is opposite to the push applied by the people)

Sam can apply a force of 130 N, while Amir and Andre can apply a push of 65 N each, so the total force that they can apply, if they push in the same direction, will be:

F=130 + 65 +65=260 N

This force is larger than the frictional force, so the fridge will start moving.

However, the net force on the fridge will be:

\sum F = 260 N - 250 N = 10 N

And according to Newton's second law,

\sum F = ma

where m is the mass of the fridge and a its acceleration, since the net force is not zero, then the fridge will have a non-zero acceleration, so it will not move with constant  velocity.

The length of a certain wire is kept same while its radius is doubled. what is the new resistivity of this wire?
anastassius [24]
The text does not specify whether the resistance R of the wire must be kept the same or not: here I assume R must be kept the same.

The relationship between the resistance and the resistivity of a wire is
\rho =  \frac{AR}{L}
where
\rho is the resistivity
A is the cross-sectional area
R is the resistance
L is the wire length

the cross-sectional area is given by
A=\pi r^2
where r is the radius of the wire. Substituting in the previous equation ,we find
\rho =  \frac{\pi r^2 R}{L}

For the new wire, the length L is kept the same (L'=L) while the radius is doubled (r'=2r), so the new resistivity is
\rho' =  \frac{\pi r'^2 R}{L'}= \frac{\pi (2r)^2 R}{L}=4  \frac{\pi r^2 R}{L}   = 4 \rho
Therefore, the new resistivity must be 4 times the original one.

Jake calculates that the frequency of a wave is 500 hertz and that the wave is moving at 1,250 m/s. What is the wavelength of th
Neko [114]
Frequency (f) = 500 hz (SI)
Velocity (V) = 1250 m/s (SI)
Wavelength (Lambda) = ? meters

v =  \lambda \times f
1250 =  \lambda \times 500 \\ \lambda = 1250 \div 500 \\ \lambda = 2.5 \: meters

Consider a double slit experiment in the air. The wavelength of light is 500nm light, the screen is 1m away and two adjacent bri
Bess [88]

Answer: 0.75\ cm

Explanation:

Given

Wavelength of light \lambda=500\ nm

Screen is D=1\ m away

Distance between two adjacent bright fringe is \Delta y=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}

When same experiment done in water, wavelength reduce to \dfrac{\lambda }{\mu}

So, the distance between the two adjacent bright fringe is \Delta y'=\dfrac{\lambda D}{\mu d}

Keeping other factor same, distance becomes

\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{\frac{4}{3}}=\dfrac{3}{4}\quad \text{Refractive index of water is }\dfrac{4}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow 0.75\ cm
