A refrigerator is being pulled up a ramp with a horizontal force P, which acts at the top corner. The refrigerator has a mass of

75 kg, acting through point G. The ramp is inclined at 20º, and the coefficient of static friction is 0.3 between the refrigerator and the ramp.
(a) Find the force P required to move the refrigerator.
(b) Does the refrigerator tip or slide?

Answer:

(a) P = 459.055 N.

(b) the refrigerator tips.

Explanation:

Given, the angle of ramp is 20°.

When the weight of refrigerator is resolved in directions parallel and perpendicular to ramp, 75×g×sin(20°) and 75×g×cos(20°).

⇒ normal contact force is 75×g×cos(20°).

⇒ frictional force is 0.3×75×g×cos(20°) = 207.414 N

so, total opposite force is 207.414 + 75×g×sin(20°) = 459.055 N.

so, the force needed is P = 459.055 N

And as the moment due to both opposite force and P force are in same direction the refrigerator tips rather than just sliding.

Estimate the monthly cost of using a 700 W refrigerator that runs for 10 hours a day if the cost per kilowatt hours is cents $.2
Mrac [35]

Answer:

$4.2

Explanation:

Given data

Power= 700W

time= 10 hours

Cost per kilowatt hours is cents $0.20

Let us find the number of hours in a month

=24*30

=720 hours

Energ= power*time

Energy= 700/1000*30

Energy= 7*3

Enery= 21 kwh

1 kwh= 0.2

21kwh= x

cross multiply

x=21*0.2

x= $4.2

If a car increases its velocity from zero to 60 m/s in 10 seconds, its acceleration is
andrezito [222]
We know that a=vf_vi/t equals equation "a" . Where a is the acceleration of the body , vf is the final velocity , vi is the initial velocity and t is equal to time . Since vi equals o m/s , vf equals to 60 m/s and t equals 10 s. Put in equation "a". a=60-0/10 =6m/s2

omeli [17]

Answer:

The mechanical energy is converted to potential energy while the kinetic energy is zero

Explanation:

mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object. The total mechanical energy is the sum of these two forms of energy.

The Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but is merely changed from one form into another. This means that potential energy can become kinetic energy, or vice versa, but energy cannot “disappear”.

The mechanical energy is converted to potential energy while the kinetic energy is zero
