The work done to push the refrigerator is 500 Nm.

Explanation:

Work done is the measure of force required to move any object from one point to another. So it is calculated as the product of force and displacement.

If the force increases the work done will increase and similarly, the increase in displacement increases the work done. So to push the refrigerator work should be done on the object and not by the object.

As the force is 100 N and the displacement is 5 m then, work done can be measured as

Work = Force × Displacement

Work = 100 × 5 = 500 Nm

So the work done to push the refrigerator is 500 Nm.

if the forces acting upon an object are balanced, then an object must a) be moving. b) be accelerating. c) be beginning to slow

Dennis_Churaev [7]

The correct answer to the question is : D) Be moving at a constant velocity.

EXPLANATION:

As per Newton's first laws of motion, every body continues to be at state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless and until it is compelled by some external unbalanced forces acting on it.

Hence, it is the unbalanced force which changes the state of rest or motion of a body. Balanced force is responsible for keeping the body to be either in static equilibrium or in dynamic equilibrium.

As per the options given in the question, the last one is true for an object under balanced forces.

Two loudspeakers are 1.60 m apart. A person stands 3.00 m from one speaker and 3.50 m from the other. (a) What is the lowest fre

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance between two loud speakers $d=1.6\ m$

Distance of person from one speaker $x_1=3\ m$

Distance of person from second speaker $x_2=3.5\ m$

Path difference between the waves is given by

$x_2-x_1=(2m+1)\cdot \frac{\lambda }{2}$

for destructive interference m=0 I.e.

$x_2-x_1=\frac{\lambda }{2}$

$3.5-3=\frac{\lambda }{2}$

$\lambda =0.5\times 2$

$\lambda =1\ m$

frequency is given by

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda }$

where $v=velocity\ of\ sound\ (v=343\ m/s)$

$f=\frac{343}{1}=343\ Hz$

For next frequency which will cause destructive interference is

i.e. $m=1$ and $m=2$

$3.5-3=\frac{2\cdot 1+1}{2}\cdot \lambda$

$\lambda =\frac{1}{3}\ m$

frequency corresponding to this is

$f_2=\frac{343}{\frac{1}{3}}=1029\ Hz$

for $m=2$

$3.5-3=\frac{5}{2}\cdot \lambda$

$\lambda =\frac{1}{5}\ m$

Frequency corresponding to this wavelength

$f_3=\frac{343}{\frac{1}{5}}$

$f_3=1715\ Hz$
