- A fridge has a maximum static friction force
1 answer:
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
(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:
This force is larger than the frictional force, so the fridge will start moving.
However, the net force on the fridge will be:
And according to Newton's second law,
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.

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the law of Malus which describes the change in the Intensity of Light when it crosses a polarized surface.
Mathematically the expression is given as
Where,
= Initial Intensity
I = Final Intensity after pass through the polarizer
= Angle between the polarizer and the light
Since it is sought to reduce the intensity by half the relationship between the two intensities will be given as
Using the Malus Law we have,
Angle with respect to maximum is
Answer:
velocity = 62.89 m/s in 58 degree measured from the x-axis
Explanation:
Relevant information:
Before the collision, asteroid A of mass 1,000 kg moved at 100 m/s, and asteroid B of mass 2,000 kg moved at 80 m/s.
Two asteroids moving with velocities collide at right angles and stick together. Asteroid A initially moving to right direction and asteroid B initially move in the upward direction.
Before collision Momentum of A = 1000 x 100 = kg - m/s in the right direction.
Before collision Momentum of B = 2000 x 80 = 1.6 x kg - m/s in upward direction.
Mass of System of after collision = 1000 + 2000 = 3000 kg
Now applying the Momentum Conservation, we get
Initial momentum in right direction = final momentum in right direction =
And, Initial momentum in upward direction = Final momentum in upward direction = 1.6 x
So, =
m/s
and m/s
Therefore, velocity is =
=
= 62.89 m/s
And direction is
tan θ = = 1.6
therefore,
= from x-axis
