A 120-kg refrigerator, 2.00 m tall and 85.0 cm wide, has its center of mass at its geometrical center. You are attempting to sli

de it along the floor by pushing horizontally on the side of the refrigerator. The coefficient of static friction between the floor and the refrigerator is 0.300. Depending on where you push, the refrigerator may start to tip over before it starts to slide along the floor. What is the highest distance above the floor that you can push the refrigerator so that it won't tip before it begins to slide

Answer:

Following are the response to the given question:

Explanation:

To address this problem, the notions of friction and torque in the kinematic equations of motion have to be applied.

The friction resistance is defined by

F=\mu mg

Here seem to be our values.

\mu=0.3\\\\m= 120\ kg \\\\g=9.8\ \frac{m}{s^2} \\\\

F=0.3 \times 120 \times 9.8= 36 \times 9.8= 352.8 \ N

Take the brain's mid-size weight halfway to the floor, i.e. d = \frac{0.85}{2} = 0.425 \ m. The torque around the bottom of the cooler should be zero to reach the maximum range.

F \times x= mg \times d\\\\ \text{Re-set for x}\\\\ x=\frac{mg \times d}{F}= \frac{mg \times d}{ \mu m g} =\frac{d}{\mu}=\frac{0.425}{0.3}=1.42 \m

Then we may say that distance before turning is 1.42m.

A rabbit is hopping along at an approximately constant speed of 3.9 m/s. The rabbit passes a crouched cat ready to chase the rab
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

t  = 7,8 s

Explanation:

From the instant, the rabbit passes the cat. The cat star running acceleration of 0,5 m/s² .

When the cat arrives at the speed of 3,9 m/s the cat catches the rabbit

Then for the cat arrives at 3,9 m/s nedds

v = vo + a*t     vo  = 0  then   v = a*t

3,9 ( m/s) = 0,5 ( m/s² ) * t

t  = 7,8 s

v  =  3,9 m/s =

Which of the following statements is accurate?
cupoosta [38]

Answer: A and B

Explanation:

A

The wavelength of both transverse and longitudinal waves is measured parallel to the direction of the travel of the wave.

Because wavelength is the distance between the two successful crest or trough.

B) 

Amplitude of longitudinal waves is measured at right angles to the direction of the travel of the wave and represents the maximum distance the molecule has moved from its normal position.

Because amplitude is the measure of maximum displacement from the original position
