The distance between the two cars is increasing at the rate of 85 mph.

A passenger in Car-1 says that he is at rest in his own frame of reference,
and Car-2 is moving away from him at 85 mph, toward the west.

Answer:

A. 85 mph west

Explanation:

Velocity of car 1 is given as

v_1 = 35 mph towards East

\vec v_1 = 35(-\hat i) mph

Velocity of car 2 is given as

v_2 = 50 mph towards West

\vec v_2 = 50 (\hat i) mph

Now we need to find the speed of car 2 with respect to the frame of car 1

so it is given as

\vec v_{21} = \vec v_2 - \vec v_1

now we will have

\vec v_{21} = 50 (\hat i) - 35 (-\hat i) = 85 \hat i

so the relative speed will be 85 mph towards West

A child pushes a 100 kg refrigerator with a force of 50 N, but the refrigerator does not move. Suppose the coefficient of static
faust18 [17]

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Since the refrigerator doesn’t move, that means the force of friction equals the amount of force the child exerts on the fridge. If the friction force were greater than the force by the child, the fridge would start accelerating towards the child. If it were less than the force the child exerted, the fridge would start accelerating away from the child. Therefore, the net force must be 0, in this case, the friction force is equal to the force the child exerted, for it to stay at rest (as Newton’s First Law stated).

I hope this helps! :)

What is the difference between a theory and a law?
algol [13]

A theory is a system of ideas that isn't exactly proven to be true fully. A law is a description of whatever scientific phenomena you're studying. All you need to know is a law describes, and a theory explains.
