It is weigh-in time for the local under-85-kg rugby team. The bathroom scale used to assess eligibility can be described by Hook

e’s law and is depressed 0.75 cm by its maximum load of 120 kg. (a) What is the spring’s effective spring constant? (b) A player stands on the scales and depresses it by 0.48 cm. Is he

Answer:

Explanation:

Depression = .75 x 10⁻² m

Load = 120 g

Spring constant = 120g / .75 x 10⁻²

= 160 x 10² g / m

b )

Depression by player

= .48 x 10⁻² m

His weight

= .48 x 10⁻² x 160 x 10² g

= 76.8 kg

So he is eligible.

A large refrigerator (mass 80kg) sits at rest inside a house. The homeowner wants to move the refrigerator across the room, so s
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

400 N

Explanation:

By the law of friction,

F=\mu R

F is the maximum frictional force, \mu is the coefficient of friction and R is the reaction on the refrigerator. On a horizontal surface, the reaction is equal to the weight of the refrigerator.

R=mg

F=\mu mg

While not moving, the fricition on the refrigerator is static friction. So, \mu=0.65

F=0.65 \times80\times9.8=509.6 \text{ N}

This is the maximum frictional force and is more than the applied horizontal force of 400 N. Frictional force cannot be more than the applied force, else it would actually pull the refrigerator backwards (a strange thing, if it were to happen). It is equal to the extent of the applied force because the applied force is not enough to overcome the maximum.

Hence the frictional force is 400 N.

PS: Note that we do not use the coefficient of kinetic friction because applied force could not overcome the static friction.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

a) according to Faraday's law , b) creating a faster movement, placing more turns on coil

Explanation:

a) The voltage is induced in the coil by the relative movement between it and the magnet, therefore according to Faraday's law

           E = - d (B A) / dt

In this case, the magnet is involved, so the value of the magnetic field varies with time, since the number of lines that pass through the loop changes with movement.

This voltage creates a current that charges the battery

b) There are several ways to increase the voltage

* creating a faster movement, can be done by the user

* placing more turns on the coil, must be done by the manufacturer
