To move a heavy object, like a refrigerator what could be used to help decrease the frictional force?

Physics
1 answer:
Olenka [21]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

A. Remove everything in the refrigerator to lighten the load.

B. Put a lubricant between the surface of the object and the floor

C. Use round objects, like pencils , to decrease the friction and push the refrigerator over the pencils more easily

Explanation:

Force of friction is a resistance force which acts between two surfaces which are in relative motion. Friction is both boon and bane. Due to friction, we are able to sit, walk etc but also, due to friction there is dissipation of energy. Friction can be reduced by applying lubricants, reducing contact area, reducing the load.

F = μN where N is the normal force which depends on the mass.

Thus, by reducing the load, force of friction can be reduced. Round objects like wheels can also be used. By this the contact area reduces.

Give a real life example in which two objects are moving at a constant speed but have different velocities.
Bad White [126]

Answer:

The planets and moons that orbit in the solar system.

Explanation:

For example the earth moves at 67,000 mph (107,000 km/h), and is constant from the gravitational pull of the sun. The moon orbits at about  2,288 mph (3,683 km/h).  these are both traveling at different velocities but at a constant speed.

If a particle with a charge of +4.3 × 10−18 C is attracted to another particle by a force of 6.5 × 10−8 N, what is the magnitude
AveGali [126]

Answer: 1.5×10^10 N/C

Explanation:

E= F/q

Where E= magnitude of the electric field

F= force of attraction

q= charge of the given body

Given F= 6.5×10^-8 N

q= 4.3× 10^-18 C

Therefore, E = 6.5×10 ^-8/ 4.3×10^-18

E = 1.5×10^10 N/C

3. Take sugar, oil, corn syrup, a glass and water. Pour the water in the glass and then add each of the above the substances one
hoa [83]

Here are the observations

  • Sugar is soluble in water
  • so It will dissolve in water .

<u>C</u><u>o</u><u>r</u><u>n</u><u> </u><u>s</u><u>y</u><u>r</u><u>u</u><u>p</u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • Corn syrup is also basically a sugar.
  • It will dissolve in water too .
  • If we shake the mixture in glass then corn syrup will be dissolved.

<u>O</u><u>i</u><u>l</u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • Oil is not soluble in water
  • Hence it won't dissolve in water.
  • It will float over water and make two layers
