A person pushes a refrigerator across a horizontal floor. The mass of the refrigerator is 110 kg, the coefficient of static fric

tion between the refrigerator and the floor is 0.85, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the refrigerator and the floor is 0.59.
(a) If the refrigerator is initially at rest, determine the minimum magnitude of the force that the person must exert horizontally on the refrigerator to cause it to move.
N

(b) Once the refrigerator is moving, determine the magnitude of the force that the person must exert horizontally on the refrigerator to keep it moving at a constant speed.
N

(c) Determine the acceleration of the refrigerator if the person applies a horizontal force of magnitude 950 N on the refrigerator.

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of refrigerator, m = 110 kg

coefficient of static friction, μs = 0.85

coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.59

(a) the minimum force required to just start the motion in refrigerator

F = μs x mg

F = 0.85 x 110 x 9.8

F = 916.3 N

(b) The force required to move the refrigerator with constant speed

F' = μk x mg

F' = 0.59 x 110 x 9.8

F' = 636.02 N

(c) Let a be the acceleration.

Net force = Applied force - friction force

F net = 950 - 636.02

F net = 313.98 N

a = F net / mass

a = 313.98 / 110

a = 2.85 m/s²

It is determined that a certain light wave has a wavelength of 3.012 ×10−12 m. The light travels at 2.99 ×108 m/s. What is the f
horsena [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity=frequency*wavelength

velocity = 2.99*10^8 m/s

frequency = ?

wavelength = 3.012*10^-12

2.99*10^8m/s = (f)(3.012*10^-12)

f=9.58*10^19 Hertz

Is (2, 2) a solution of y &lt; 4x-6<br> Help
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

B) No.

Explanation:

Okay,so,

this is equation is y=mx +b

mx represents the slope

and b represents the y-intercept

in order to figure this out you need to plot the y-intercept first

that makes its (0,-6) because the 6 is negative in the equation

4x is also equal to 4/1 since we dont know what x is

we have to do rise over run for this

you go up 4 spots on the y intercept from -6 because 4 is positive

then you go to the right 1 time because 1 is positive.

this leaves you at (1,-2)

so, (2,2) is NOT a solution

You have seen magnets sticking to the refrigerator door, or maybe in your science class room. They attract metal items, for exam
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

B) shrinks

Explanation:

The magnetic force is a force exerted between two magnets, or two magnetic materials, or also on an electric charge moving in a magnetic field.

If we talk about magnetic material, the magnetic field they generates can be represented using a dipole: essentially, they have a north pole (where the lines of the field go out) and a south pole (where the lines of the field go in).

Also, the lines spread apart as we move away from the magnet itself. This means that the strength of the field (and so, the intensity of the force) decreases as we move away from the magnet.

Using this description, we can now understand that when we move the paper clip further from the magnet, the force exerted on the clip decreases, as the magnetic field becomes weaker. So, the correct answer is B.
