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.

Atom X contains seven protons and seven neutrons. atom Z contains seven protons and eight neutrons. which of the following state
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A: they are isotopes.

Explanation:

From atom X we know that the number of protons is 7 and the number of neutrons is 7 and from atom Z we know that the number of protons is 7 and the number of neutrons is 8.

Since the number of protons of atom X and atom Z is the same, we have that atom X and atom Z is the same element. The difference in the number of neutrons tells us that atom X and atom Z are isotopes. Remember that an isotope is one element that has atoms with different numbers of neutrons.            

The mass number is given by:              

A = p + n

Where <em>n</em> is the number of neutrons and <em>p </em>is the number of protons.

For atom X and atom Z we have:

A_{x} = 7 + 7 = 14

A_{z} = 7 + 8 = 15

Hence, they have a different mass number.  

We know that the element with 7 protons is nitrogen. The first isotope is ^{14}_{7}N and the second isotope is ^{15}_{7}N. Both isotopes are stables (they are not radioactive).  

Therefore, the correct answer is option A: they are isotopes.

I hope it helps you!

An electron traverses a vacuum tube with a length of 2 m in 2 X 10- 4
Maslowich

Answer:

Average speed = 10,000 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 2m

Time = 0.0002secs

To find the average speed;

Average speed = distance/time

Average speed = 2/0.0002

Average speed = 10,000 m/s

Therefore, the average speed of the

electron is 10,000 meters per seconds.

A train that has wheels with a diameter of 91.44 cm (36 inches used for 100 ton capacity cars) slows down from 82.5 km/h to 32.5
podryga [215]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The initial velocity = u = 82.5 km/h = 22.92 m/s, the final velocity = 32.5 km/h = 9.03 m/s, diameter = 91.55 cm = 0.9144 cm

radius (r) = diameter / 2 = 0.9144 / 2= 0.4572 m

a) Initial angular velocity (\omega_o) = u /r = 22.92 / 0.4572 = 50.13 rad/s, final velocity  (ω) = v / r = 9.03 / 0.4592 = 19.67 rad / s

θ = 95 rev * 2πr = 95 * 2π * 0.4572= 272.9 rad

angular acceleration (α) is:

\omega^2=\omega_o^2+2\alpha \theta\\\\19.67^2-50.13^2=2\alpha(272.9)\\\\19.67^2=50.13^2+2\alpha(272.9)\\\\2\alpha(272.9)=-2126.108\\\\\alpha=-3.89\ rad/s^2\\\\

b)

\omega=\omega_o+\alpha t\\\\19.67=50.13+(-3.89t)\\\\3.89t=50.13-19..67\\\\3.89t=30.46\\\\t=7.83\ s

c) θ = 95 rev * 2πr = 95 * 2π * 0.4572= 272.9 rad

a) When it stops, the final angular velocity is 0. Hence:

\omega^2=\omega_o^2+2\alpha \theta\\\\0=50.13^2+2(-3.89)\theta\\\\2(3.89)\theta=50.13^2\\\\2(3.89)\theta=2513\\\\\theta=323\ rad\\\\revolutions=\frac{\theta}{2\pi r}=\frac{323}{2\pi(0.4572)}  =112.4\ rev

θ = 323 rad

The engineer of a passenger train traveling at 25.0m/s sights a freight train whose caboose is 200m ahead on the same track. The
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

No, there won't be a collision.

Explanation:

We will use the constant acceleration formulas to calculate,

v = u + a*t

0 = 25 + (-0.1)*t

t = 250 seconds (the time taken for the passenger train to stop)

v^2 = u^2 + 2*a*s

0 = (25)^2  + 2*(-0.1)*s

s = 3125 m (distance traveled by passenger train to stop)

If the distance traveled by freight train in 250 seconds is less than (3125-200=2925 m) than the collision will occur

Speed*time = distance

Distance = (15)*(250)

Distance = 3750 m

As the distance is way more, there won’t be a collision
