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.

Which of the following is a consequence of the special theory of relativity?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Specifically, Special Relativity showed us that space and time are not independent of one another but can be mixed into each other and therefore must be considered as the same object, which we shall denote as space-time. The consequences of space/time mixing are: time dilation. and length contraction.

A round pipe of varying diameter carries petroleum from a wellhead to a refinery. At the wellhead, the pipe's diameter is 57.3 c
Mashcka [7]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter of pipe,d_1=0.573 m

v_1=13.5 m/s

v_2=5.83 m/s

Volume flow rate of the petroleum along the pipe=Q_{refinery}=A_1v_1=v_(\frac{\pi d^2_1}{4})

Q_{refinery}=13.5\times (\pi\times \frac{0.573)^2}{4})=3.48 m^3/s

By equation of continuity

A_1v_1=A_2v_2

\frac{\pi d^2_1}{4}v_1=\frac{\pi d^2_2}{4}v_2

d^2_2=\frac{v_1}{v_2}d^2_1

d_2=\sqrt{\frac{v_1}{v_2}}d_1

d_2=0.573\sqrt{\frac{13.5}{5.83}}

d_2=0.87 m

d_2=0.87\time 100=87 cm

1 m=100 cm
