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.
In order to calculate the angle, we can use the formula below for a constructive interference (the interference is constructive because the fringe is bright):
Where d is the distance between the slits, m is the order of the interference and lambda is the wavelength.
So, using d = 8.25 * 10^-5, m = 2 and lambda = 4.5 * 10^-7, we have:
Therefore the correct option is the second one.
