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! :)

Infer whether a circuit breaker should be connected in parallel to the circuit that it is protecting.
Alla [95]
A circuit breaker is to be connected in series in the circuit it is to protect.
Explanation:
Let us understand why do we need circuit breakers.
Circuit breaker is a protective device which will break the circuit in case of emergency like the appliance gets short or the wiring may get shorted in between. Also it is provided to cut-off electricity to a specific part of wiring in a house/building etc. for non-emergency situations, say for the purpose of maintenance.
Invariably it is placed in series with the live wire at the switch board or circuit breaker box, so that as soon as circuit breaker trips/switched off, no electrical wiring in the circuit it is protecting should remain live.
The mains circuit breaker is placed in series with the wiring of the dwelling unit and the Electricity incoming point of the Electric Supply Company.
The remaining circuit breakers are connected in parallel to each other to various distribution points/rooms. If connected in series, it will be impossible to isolate a section/part of circuit.
However, each circuit breaker is to be connected in series in the part circuit it is to protect.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

Diffusion is the movement of a molecule from an area where the molecule is in high concentration to an area where the molecule is in low concentration. Facilitated diffusion is the movement of a molecule from an area of high concentration to an area where the molecule is in low concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion (high to low concentration) of water through a semi-permeable membrane. Water moves from an area of high water molecule concentration (and lower solute concentration) to an area of low concentration (and higher solute concentration.

Hope this Helps!!!
