Given :

A mover slides a refrigerator weighing 650 N at a constant velocity across the floor a distance of 8.1 m.

The force of friction between the refrigerator and the floor is 230 N.

To Find :

How much work has been performed by the mover on the refrigerator.

Solution :

Since, refrigerator is moving with constant velocity.

So, force applied by the mover is also 230 N ( equal to force of friction ).

Now, work done in order to move the refrigerator is :

$W = Force\times distance\\\\W = 230 \times 8.1\ N\ m\\\\W = 1863\ N\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

We will have the following:

$\begin{gathered} F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\Rightarrow F=\frac{(6.67\ast10^{-11}m^3\ast kg^{-1}\ast s^{-2})(50kg)(50kg)}{(0.3m)^2} \\ \\ \Rightarrow F=1.852777778...\ast10^{-6}N\Rightarrow F\approx1.85\ast10^{-6}N \end{gathered}$

So, the force is approximately 1.85*10^-6 N.

Determine the index of refraction of glass that is struck by unpolarized light at 53.8 degrees and resulting in a fully polarize

nignag [31]

Answer:

The refractive index of glass, $\mu_{g} = 1.367$

Solution:

Brewster angle is the special case of incident angle that causes the reflected and refracted rays to be perpendicular to each other or that angle of incident which causes the complete polarization of the reflected ray.

To determine the refractive index of glass:

$tan\theta_{P} = \frac{\mu_{g}}{\mu_{a}}$ (1)

where

$\mu_{a}$ = refractive index of glass

$\mu_{g}$ = refractive index of glass

Now, using eqn (1)

$tan{53.8^{\circ}} = \frac{\mu_{g}}{1}$

$\mu_{g} = tan53.8^{\circ}$

$\mu_{g} = 1.367$

Two competing models attempt to explain the motions and changing brightness of the planets: Ptolemy's geocentric model and Coper

AlekseyPX

Answer:

A. Geocentric: This model is Earth Centered . Retrograde motion is explained by epicycles .

B. Heliocentric: This model is Sun centered. Retrograde motion is explained by the orbital speeds of planets

C. Both geocentric and heliocentric: Epicycles and deferents help explain planetary motion . Planets move in circular orbits and with uniform motion . The brightness of a planet increases when the planet is closest to Earth.

Explanation:

The principle of the Ptolemy's geocentric model was developed on the assumption that the center of the universe is the Earth. On the other hand, the principle of the Copernicus' heliocentric model was based on the assumption that the center of the universe is the sun. However, both models have a common ideology on uniform circular motion and epicycles.

Students perform a set of experiments by placing a block of mass m against a spring, compressing the spring a distance x along a

Verizon [17]

Increasing the angle of inclination of the plane decreases the velocity of the block as it leaves the spring.

The statement that indicates how the relationship between v and x changes is; As x increases, v increases, but the relationship is no longer linear and the values of v will be less for the same value of x.

Reasons:

The energy given to the block by the spring = $\mathbf{0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2}$

According to the principle of conservation of energy, we have;

On a flat plane, energy given to the block = $0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2$ = kinetic energy of

block = $0.5 \cdot m \cdot v^2$

Therefore;

0.5·k·x² = 0.5·m·v²

Which gives;

x² ∝ v²

x ∝ v

On a plane inclined at an angle θ, we have;

The energy of the spring = $\mathbf{0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2}$

The force of the weight of the block on the string, $F = m \cdot g \cdot sin(\theta)$

The energy given to the block = $0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2 - m \cdot g \cdot sin(\theta)$ = The kinetic energy of block as it leaves the spring = $\mathbf{0.5 \cdot m \cdot v^2}$

Which gives;

$0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2 - m \cdot g \cdot sin(\theta) = 0.5 \cdot m \cdot v^2$

Which is of the form;

a·x² - b = c·v²

a·x² + c·v² = b

Where;

a, b, and c are constants

The graph of the equation a·x² + c·v² = b is an ellipse

Therefore;

As x increases, v increases, however, the value of v obtained will be lesser than the same value of x as when the block is on a flat plane.

Please find attached a drawing related to the question obtained from a similar question online

The possible question options are;

As x increases, v increases, but the relationship is no longer linear and the values of v will be less for the same value of x

The relationship is no longer linear and v will be more for the same value of x

The relationship is still linear, with lesser value of v

The relationship is still linear, with higher value of v

The relationship is still linear, but vary inversely, such that as x increases, v decreases

A dragster starts from rest and travels 1/4 mi in 6.80 s with constant acceleration. What is its velocity when it crosses the fi

Ahat [919]

<h2>Its velocity when it crosses the finish line is 117.65 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = ?

Time, t = 6.8 s

Displacement, s = 1/4 mi = 400 meters

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

400 = 0 x 6.8 + 0.5 x a x 6.8²

a = 17.30 m/s²

Now we have equation of motion v = u + at

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Final velocity, v = ?

Time, t = 6.8 s

Acceleration, a = 17.30 m/s²

Substituting

v = u + at

v = 0 + 17.30 x 6.8

v = 117.65 m/s

Its velocity when it crosses the finish line is 117.65 m/s
