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! :)

In what ways are directions slightly distorted on the gore map
Bezzdna [24]

Distorted maps attempt a compromise, cutting the terrestrial surface along some arbitrarily chosen lines, then projecting each lobe (or gore, in case of interruptions, repeat periodically along related lines like meridians), separately with lower overall deformation. Gore boundaries are often designed to fall on less important areas, like oceans.

A rotating space station is said to create "artificial gravity" - a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

\omega=0.31\frac{rad}{s}

Explanation:

The artificial gravity generated by the rotating space station is the same centripetal acceleration due to the rotational motion of the station, which is given by:

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}(1)

Here, r is the radius and v is the tangential speed, which is given by:

v=\omega r(2)

Here \omega is the angular velocity, we replace (2) in (1):

a_c=\frac{(\omega r)^2}{r}\\\\a_c=\omega^2r

Recall that r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{200m}{2}=100m.

Solving for \omega:

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{a_c}{r}}\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{9.8\frac{m}{s^2}}{100m}}\\\omega=0.31\frac{rad}{s}

f a wave has a wavelength of 9 meters and a period of 0.006, what is the velocity of the wave? A. 1,200 m/s B. 1,500 m/s C. 1,80
GalinKa [24]

Answer: 1500 m/sec. ( b )

Solution:

V= f (λ)

Speed = frequency. Wavelength  

And frequency = 1/time period

First we will find the frequency :

Frequency = 1/time period

1/0.006 = 166.67 Hz

Using this in the equation:

Speed = frequency. Wavelength  

V= f (λ)

9 × 166.67  

= 1500.03 ≈ 1500

V (Speed) = 1500 m/s.

Note: Do not forget to mention the units or otherwise they may cost you marks!

Explain how magnets have an attractive force and repulsive force
shusha [124]
The force between two parallel wires carrying currents in the same direction is attractive. It is repulsive if the currents are in opposite directions.
