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.

Nady [450]
:<span>  </span><span>Under the assumption that a cell is made up of two concentric spheres you find the surface are of the inside sphere which will be your A. 

You already have your separation and dielectric constant so just use the formula you stated towards the end of your question and you get 8.93x10^-11 Farads which is about 89pF</span>

A truck travels 1430 m uphill along a road that makes a constant angle of 5.76◦ with the horizontal.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The horizontal component of displacement is d' = 1422.7 m

Explanation:

Given data,

The distance covered by the truck, d = 1430 m

The angle formed with the horizontal, Ф = 5.76°

The displacement is a vector quantity.

The horizontal component of displacement is given by,

                                 d' = d cos Ф

                                     = 1430 cos 5.76°

                                     = 1422.7 m

Hence, the horizontal component of displacement is d' = 1422.7 m

How is velocity and instantaneous speed alike
allsm [11]
<span>velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement irrespective of the length of the path travelled while speed is the average rate of covering distance. but in the liming case where the instantaneous velocity is given as v=dx/dt where dx is the small displacement in a small interval dt, both the speed and velocity have the same magnitude and the direction of velocity is the direction of the tangent to the corresponding displacement-time curve.</span>

An ant travels 2.78 cm (West) and then turns and travels 6.25 cm (South 40 degrees East). What is the ant's total displacement?
andrey2020 [161]
From\ cosine\ theorem:\\\\&#10;c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcos(\angle between\ a\ and\ b)\\\\&#10;a=2,78\\b=6,25\\&#10;\angle between\ a\ and\ b=90+50=140^{\circ}\\\\&#10;c^2=2,78^2+6,25^2-2*2,78*6,25cos(140^{\circ})\\\\&#10;c^2=7,7284+39,0625-34,75*(-0,77)\\\\c^2=46,7909+26,7575\\\\c^2=735484\\\\c=8,58cm\\\\Total\ displacement\ is\ equal\ to\ 8,58cm.
