Suppose that while moving into an apartment you move a refrigerator into place by sliding it across the floor. The refrigerator w

eighs 895 N and the coefficient of static friction between the floor and the refrigerator is 0.400. What is the least force you could apply to the refrigerator to cause it to move?

Answer:

358 N

Explanation:

F=\mu N where F is the force, \mu is the coefficient of static friction between the floor and the refrigerator and N is the weight

Normally, N=mg hence F=\mu mg where m is the mass of object and g is the acceleration due to gravity

In this case, N is given as 895 N and the coefficient of static friction between the floor and the refrigerator is 0.400 hence substituting them in the formula we obtain

F=\mu N= 0.4\times 895 N= 358 N

Answer:

has a radius of 2439 km (1524 mi), and the metallic iron-nickel core is believed to make up about 75% of this distance. Measurements of the planet's magnetic field made by Mariner 10 as it flew by the planet indicates that this core is likely to be hot and fluid.

What is static electricity
navik [9.2K]

Static electricity is electricity produced locally that does not flow. It is produced by electrons being rubbed off one object and collecting on another. It cannot flow through a wire like the electricity in your home.  

Example:  

1) Rub a balloon on your hair and it will stick to the wall. The balloon rubs electrons off your hair and picks up a negative charge. Your hair, in turn, is left with a positive charge. You may even notice your hair has "static" and is standing out from your head.  

2) Comb your hair with a plastic comb then use it to pick up small pieces of paper. The comb picks up electrons from your hair and becomes negatively charged. It uses this charge to attract the pieces of paper.  

3) Rub your slippered feet on the carpet and then touch something metal like a door knob. The "shock" you feel is static electricity. You pick up electrons from the carpet and discharge them on to the door knob.

You are a detective investigating why someone was hit on the head by a falling flowerpot. One piece of evidence is a smartphone
umka21 [38]

Answer:

0.37 m

Explanation:

Given :

Window height, h_1 = 1.27 m

The flowerpot falls 0.84 m off the window height, i.e.

h_2 = (1.27 x 0.84 ) m in a time span of $t=\frac{8}{30}$   seconds.

Assuming that the speed of the pot just above the window is v then,

h_2=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

$(1.27 \times 0.84) = v \times \left( \frac{8}{30} \right) + \frac{1}{2} \times 9.81 \times \left( \frac{8}{30} \right)^2$

$v=\left(\frac{30}{8}\right) \left[ (1.27 \times 0.84) - \left( \frac{1}{2} \times 9.81 \times \left( \frac{8}{30 \right)^2 \right) \right]}$

$v= 2.69$ m/s

Initially the pot was dropped from rest. So,  u = 0.

If it has fallen from a height of h above the window then,

$h = \frac{v^2}{2g}$

$h = \frac{(2.69)^2}{2 \times 9.81}$

h = 0.37 m
