A child pushes a 100 kg refrigerator with a force of 50 N, but the refrigerator does not move. Suppose the coefficient of static

friction between the floor and the refrigerator is 0.4. What is the force due to friction in this scenario

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Since the refrigerator doesn’t move, that means the force of friction equals the amount of force the child exerts on the fridge. If the friction force were greater than the force by the child, the fridge would start accelerating towards the child. If it were less than the force the child exerted, the fridge would start accelerating away from the child. Therefore, the net force must be 0, in this case, the friction force is equal to the force the child exerted, for it to stay at rest (as Newton’s First Law stated).

I hope this helps! :)

Brad walks and jogs to schooll every day. He averages 5 km/hr walking and 9 km/hr jogging. The distane from home to shool is 6 k
Vitek1552 [10]
We know that
Distance = speed x time
Let w be the time Brad spent walking. The time spent jogging will be 1 - w
6 = 5w + 9(1 - w)
w = 0.75 hours
Distance walked = 0.75 x 5
= 3.75 km

You have two square metal plates with side lengths of (6.50 C) cm. You want to make a parallel-plate capacitor that will hold a
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The necessary separation between  the two parallel plates is 0.104 mm

Explanation:

Given;

length of each side of the square plate, L = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m

charge on each plate, Q = 12.5 nC

potential difference across the plates, V = 34.8 V

Potential difference across parallel plates is given as;

V = \frac{Qd}{L^2 \epsilon_o} \\\\d = \frac{V L^2 \epsilon_o}{Q}

Where;

d is the separation or distance between the two parallel plates;

d = \frac{VL^2 \epsilon_o}{Q} \\\\d =  \frac{34.8*(0.065)^2 *8.854*10^{-12}}{12.5*10^{-9}} \\\\d = 0.000104 \ m\\\\d = 0.104 \ mm

Therefore, the necessary separation between  the two parallel plates is 0.104 mm
