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
Physics

8 0

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! :)

What happens when light strikes a translucent object?
sammy [17]

Answer:

D)   Some of the light passes through, and some of the light is absorbed or scattered by the object.

Explanation:

When light strikes translucent materials, only some of the light passes through them. The light does not pass directly through the materials. ... When light strikes an opaque object none of it passes through. Most of the light is either reflected by the object or absorbed and converted to heat.

(I googled it) ☺

A motorboat traveling on a straight course slows
never [62]

Answer:

2.572 m/s²

Explanation:

Convert the given initial velocity and final velocity rates to m/s:

  • 65 km/h → 18.0556 m/s
  • 35 km/h → 9.72222 m/s

The motorboat's displacement is 45 m during this time.

We are trying to find the acceleration of the boat.

We have the variables v₀, v, a, and Δx. Find the constant acceleration equation that contains all four of these variables.

  • v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

Substitute the known values into the equation.

  • (9.72222)² = (18.0556)² + 2a(45)
  • 94.52156173 = 326.0046914 + 90a
  • -231.4831296 = 90a
  • a = -2.572

The magnitude of the boat's acceleration is |-2.572| = 2.572 m/s².
