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.

One mole of magnesium (6 × 1023 atoms) has a mass of 24 grams, as shown in the periodic table on the inside front cover of the t
natka813 [3]

This question involves the concepts of density, volume, and mass.

The approximate diameter of a magnesium atom is "3.55 x 10⁻¹⁰ m".

<h3>STEP 1 (FINDING MASS OF INDIVIDUAL ATOM)</h3>

It is given that:

Mass of one mole = 24 grams

Mass of 6 x 10²³ atoms = 24 grams

Mass of 1 atom = \frac{24\ grams}{6\ x\ 10^{23}\ atoms} = 4 x 10⁻²³ grams

<h3>STEP 2 (FINDING VOLUME OF A SINGLE ATOM)</h3>

\rho = \frac{m}{V}\\\\V=\frac{m}{\rho}

where,

  • \rho = density = 1.7 grams/cm³
  • m = mass of single atom = 4 x 10⁻²³ grams
  • V = volume of single atom = ?

Therefore,

V=\frac{4\ x\ 10^{-23}\ grams}{1.7\ grams/cm^3}

V = 2.35 x 10⁻²³ cm³

<h3>STEP 3 (FINDING DIAMETER OF ATOM)</h3>

The atom is in a spherical shape. Hence, its Volume can be given as follows:

V =\frac{\pi d^3}{6}\\\\d=\sqrt[3]{ \frac{6V}{\pi}}\\\\d=\sqrt[3]{ \frac{6(2.35\ x\ 10^{-23}\ cm^3)}{\pi}}

d = 0.355 x 10⁻⁷ cm = 3.55 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

A. The applied force should be the same size as the friction force

Explanation:

Whenever we apply a force to an object it moves if the force applied to that object is unbalanced and there is no force or a lesser force to counter it. According to Newton's Second Law of motion, when an unbalanced force is applied to an object it produces an acceleration in the object in its own direction. So, the two forces acting on this box are the frictional force and the applied force in horizontal direction. In order to move the box at constant speed, the applied force must first, overcome the frictional force, so the object can start its motion. Since, the motion has constant velocity, it means no acceleration. So, the force must be balanced in order to avoid acceleration as a consequence of Newton's Second Law of motion. Therefore, the correction in this case will be:

slega [8]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is:

(a) \frac{1}{4}(I_o)

(b) \frac{1}{4} (u_o)

(c) \frac{1}{2}B_o

Explanation:

According to the question, the value is:

Power of bulb,

= 60 W

Distance,

= 1.0 mm

Now,

(a)

⇒  \frac{I}{I_o} =\frac{r_o_2}{r_2}

On applying cross-multiplication, we get

⇒  I=I_o\times \frac{1_2}{2^2}

⇒     =I_o\times \frac{1}{4}

⇒     =\frac{1}{4} (I_o)

(b)

As we know,

⇒ \frac{u}{u_o} =\frac{I}{I_o}

By putting the values, we get

⇒ u=\frac{1}{4}(u_o)

(c)

⇒ \frac{B^2}{B_o^2} =\frac{u}{u_o}

         =\frac{I}{I_o}

⇒ B=B_o\times \sqrt{\frac{1}{4} }

⇒     =\frac{1}{2}(B_o)
