Answer:
400 N
Explanation:
By the law of friction,
is the maximum frictional force, 
is the coefficient of friction and 
is the reaction on the refrigerator. On a horizontal surface, the reaction is equal to the weight of the refrigerator.
While not moving, the fricition on the refrigerator is static friction. So, 
This is the maximum frictional force and is more than the applied horizontal force of 400 N. Frictional force cannot be more than the applied force, else it would actually pull the refrigerator backwards (a strange thing, if it were to happen). It is equal to the extent of the applied force because the applied force is not enough to overcome the maximum.
Hence the frictional force is 400 N.
PS: Note that we do not use the coefficient of kinetic friction because applied force could not overcome the static friction.

Answer:
a) 2.87 m/s
b) 3.23 m/s
Explanation:
The avergare velocity can be found dividing the length traveled d by the total time t.
a)
For the first part we easily know the total traveled length which is:
d = 50.2 m + 50.2 m = 100.4 m
The time can be found dividing the distance by the velocity:
t1 = 50.2 m / 2.21 m/s = 22.7149 s
t2 = 50.2 m / 4.11 m/s = 12.2141 s
t = t1 +t2 = 34.9290 s
Therefore, the average velocity is:
v = d/t =2.87 m/s
b)
Here we can easily know the total time:
t = 1 min + 1.16 min = 129.6 s
Now the distance wil be found multiplying each velocity by the time it has travelled:
d1 = 2.21 m/s * 60 s = 132.6 m
d2 = 4.11 m/s *(1.16 * 60 s) = 286.056 m
d = 418.656 m
Therefore, the average velocity is:
v = d/t =3.23 m/s
Answer:
No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings.
Explanation:
Energy is required to melt a solid because the cohesive bonds between the molecules in the solid must be broken apart such that, in the liquid, the molecules can move around at comparable kinetic energies; thus, there is no rise in temperature. Similarly, energy is needed to vaporize a liquid, because molecules in a liquid interact with each other via attractive forces. There is no temperature change until a phase change is complete. The temperature of a cup of soda initially at 0ºC stays at 0ºC until all the ice has melted. Conversely, energy is released during freezing and condensation, usually in the form of thermal energy. Work is done by cohesive forces when molecules are brought together. The corresponding energy must be given off (dissipated) to allow them to stay together Figure 2.
The energy involved in a phase change depends on two major factors: the number and strength of bonds or force pairs. The number of bonds is proportional to the number of molecules and thus to the mass of the sample. The strength of forces depends on the type of molecules. The heat Q required to change the phase of a sample of mass m is given by
Q = mLf (melting/freezing,
Q = mLv (vaporization/condensation),
where the latent heat of fusion, Lf, and latent heat of vaporization, Lv, are material constants that are determined experimentally.
Answer:
1700 Joules
Explanation:
Work=force x distance
Force = 170 kg
Distance= 10 Meters
170 x 10 = 1700 Joules of work
