You are helping your friend move a new refrigerator into his kitchen. You apply a horizontal force of 275 N in the positive x di

rection to try and move the 61 kg refrigerator. The coefficient of static friction is 0.58. (a) How much static frictional force does the floor exert on the refrigerator

Answer:

f = 347.08 N

Explanation:

The frictional force exerted by the floor on the refrigerator is given as follows:

f = \mu R = \mu W

where,

f = frictional force = ?

μ = coefficient of static friction = 0.58

W = Weight of refrigerator = mg

m = mass of refrigerator = 61 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

f = \mu mg\\f = (0.58)(61\ kg)(9.81\ m/s^2)\\

<u>f = 347.08 N</u>

A Carnot air conditioner operates between an indoor temperature of 20°C and an outdoor temperature of 39°C. How much energy does
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

D. 130 J

Explanation:

The coefficient of performance for a machine that is being used to cool, is given by:

COP=\frac{Q_C}{W}=\frac{T_C}{T_H-T_C}

Here Q_C  is the heat removed from the cold reservoir, W is the work required, that is, the energy required to remove the heat from the interior of the house, T_C is the cold temperature and T_H is the hot temperature. Recall use absolutes temperatures(273.15+^\circ C). Replacing and solving for W:

W=Q_c\frac{T_H-T_C}{T_C}\\W=2000J\frac{312.15K-293.15K}{293.15K}\\W=129.63J

Answer:

5. dispersion

6. 49.8°

Explanation:

5. Dispersion is the name given to the phenomenon of light of different wavelengths being bent differently. A rainbow is the result of light from a point source (the sun) being spread out by wavelength (color), a nice example of dispersion.

___

6. n = 1.31 is the ratio of the sine of the angle of refraction to the sine of the angle of incidence (for light passing to a medium of n = 1). When the angle of refraction is 90°, the angle of incidence is the "critical angle." So, ...

sin(90°)/sin(critical) = 1.31

critical angle = arcsin(1/1.31) ≈ 49.8°

How does pressure affect surface tension
tatyana61 [14]

the effect of pressure on surface tension can be attributed in part to absorption of gas at the surface of the liquid and in part to an intrinsic decrease in density of the liquid in the neighborhood of the surface.

In the case of liquids , Owing to contact forces between the edge of the surface and the vessel, the surface acquires a curvature, and if the liquid rises up at the edges where it meets the vessel, the pressure will be less in the liquid than in the air, for points just below and just above the surface. The vessel exerts an upward force on the liquid. This is simply a matter of looking at the directions of forces acting, knowing that the surface is under tension.
