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 circular flat coil that has N turns, encloses an area A, and carries a current i, has its central axis parallel to a uniform m
gogolik [260]

Answer:

A. Zero

Explanation:

The force on a coil of N turns, enclosing an area, A and carrying a current I in the presence of a magnetic field B, is :

F = N * I * A * B * sinθ

Where θ is the angle between the normal of the enclosed area and the magnetic field.

Since the normal of the area is parallel to the magnetic field, θ = 0

Hence:

F = NIABsin0

F = 0 or Zero

When a board with a box on it is slowly tilted to larger and larger angle, common experience shows that the box will at some poi
eimsori [14]

Answer: The force of kinetic friction is smaller than that of static friction, but F_g  remains the same.

Explanation:

The situation is same as when a book is pushed with an increasing force on a table; When the force is low, book doesn't move, until that under a given force starts moving, and then it goes on movement even if the force decreases a bit.

The physical explanation for this, that friction force adopts any value needed to avoid to move the object, till a limit value is achieved, called static friction force, equal to the normal force times the static friction coefficient.

Once in movement, the kinetic friction coefficient replaces the static one , and  in general is lower than the static one, so the force diminishes.

In the case of the box sliding down the board, the force that tries to move the object down the board, is the component of the weight parallel to the board, that can be showed that being equal to the weight times the sinus of the angle of the board with the horizontal, as follows:

F_g = m g sin θ

When θ increases, F_g does the same, so friction force always has the same magnitude than F_g (but opposite direction) so the box doesn't move, till that θ takes a value that produces a F_g equal to static friction force.

Beyond this limit angle, F_g (remaining the same for a given angle) is greater than the kinetic friction force, and the box slides.

In the limit, when θ=90º, sin θ =1⇒ F_g = mg, so the object is in free fall.
