A refrigerator is 1.8m tall, lm wide,and 0.8m deep.The center of mass is lm from the bottom, 0.5m from the side, and 0.6m from t

he front. it weighs 1300N. When pushing it back into its position in the kitchen, you must push on the front side. If you push horizontally from a height of 1.5m above the bottom, what is the maximum pushing force you can exert to avoid tipping the refrigerator

Answer:

  F = 520 N

Explanation:

For this exercise the rotational equilibrium equation should be used

          Σ τ = 0

Let's set a reference system with the origin at the back of the refrigerator and the counterclockwise rotation as positive. On the x-axis it is horizontal directed outward, eg the horizontal y-axis directed to the side and the z-axis vertical

Torque is

             τ = F x r

the bold indicate vectors, we analyze each force

the applied force is horizontal along the -x axis, the arm (perpendicular distance) is directed in the z axis,

The weight of the body is the vertical direction of the z-axis, so the arm is on the x-axis

                 -F z + W x = 0

                 F z = W x

                 F =  \frac{x}{z}  W

             

The exercise indicates the point of application of the force z = 1.5 m and the weight is placed in the center of mass of the body x = 0.6 m, we are assuming that the force is applied in the wide center of the refrigerator

let's calculate

                 F = 1300 0.6 / 1.5

                 F = 520 N

What is true for ALL of the examples of electromagnetic waves? A) They all move at the same speed in a vacuum. B) They all have
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

<em>A statement that is true for ALL of the examples of electromagnetic waves is that;</em>

A) They all move at the same speed in a vacuum

<u>The reason for qualifying 'in vacuum' is because EM waves of different frequencies often propagate at different speeds through material. Generally speaking, we say that light travels in waves, and all electromagnetic radiation travels at the same speed which is about 3.0 * 108 meters per second through a vacuum.</u>

__________ is when a person becomes less sensitive to a drug. A. Tolerance B. Craving C. Addiction D. Dependence
Luden [163]
A) Tolerance

Tolerance is developed after using a drug repeatedly, so the body adapts to it. Because of that, people who develop a tolerance would then need to use more of that drug to get the same effect.

The FM radio band in most places goes from frequencies of about 89 MHz to 106 MHz. How long is the wavelength of the radiation a
ohaa [14]

Answer:

2.83 m

Explanation:

The relationship between frequency and wavelength for an electromagnetic wave is given by

\lambda=\frac{c}{f}

where

\lambda is the wavelength

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light

f is the frequency

For the FM radio waves in this problem, we have:

f_1=89 MHz=89\cdot 10^6 Hz is the minimum frequency, so the maximum wavelength is

\lambda_2=\frac{c}{f_1}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8}{89\cdot 10^6}=3.37 m

The maximum frequency is instead

f_2=106 MHz=106\cdot 10^6 Hz

Therefore, the minimum wavelength is

\lambda_1=\frac{c}{f_2}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8}{106\cdot 10^6}=2.83 m

So, the wavelength at the beginning of the range is 2.83 m.
