A mover slides a refrigerator weighing 650 N at a constant velocity across the floor a distance of 8.1 m. The force of friction

between the refrigerator and the floor is 230 N. How much work has been performed by the mover on the refrigerator?

Answer:

1863 J

Explanation:

F = Force moving the object

f = Frictional force = 230 N

The forces in the horizontal direction have the force balance

F-f=0\\\Rightarrow F=f\\\Rightarrow F=230\ \text{N}

So, the force by which the object is being pushed is 230\ \text{N}

s = The displacement of the object = 8.1 m

Work done is given by

W=Fs\\\Rightarrow W=230\times 8.1\\\Rightarrow W=1863\ \text{J}

The work done by the mover is 1863 J.

How to solve for the coefficient of friction
astraxan [27]
Their are two coefficients of friction, static and kinetic, regardless, they have basically the same formula:

u*N = F... aka
coefficient of friction*normal force = force of friction

Hope that helps!

A ladybug sits at the outer edge of a turntable, and a gentleman bug sits halfway between her and the axis of rotation. The turn
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

e. Not enough information to determine

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question with my solution afterwards;

A ladybug sits at the outer edge of a turntable, and a gentleman bug sits halfway between her and the axis of rotation. The turntable (initially at rest) begins to rotate with its rate of rotation constantly increasing.

What is the first event that will occur?(Assume non-zero frictional force and the same coefficients of friction for both bugs.)

a. The ladybug begins to slide

b. The gentleman bug begins to slide

c. Both bugs begin to slide at the same time

d. Nothing ever happens

e. Not enough information to determine

The centripetal force acting on a rotating body or bugs can be written as,

F=mrw^2

m= mass of the corresponding bugs

r= corresponding radial distance of each bug

w= angular speed of the turntable

The centripetal force tries to slide the bugs in an outward direction and it is directly proportional to the products of its mass and radial distance from the axis of rotation of the turntable

F ∝ mr

Since the radial distance from the axis of rotation of the turntable for each bug is given, but the mass is not given, the given information is therefore not enough to determine which bugs will slide first.

Option "e" is correct.

Evaluate the use of hydrogen as a fuel. Explain how hydrogen is produced. Write about the environmental impact of using diesel a
posledela

Explanation:

Hydrogen is used as a fuel because it has a high calorific value per molecule when burned in air and also burns explosively. When burned in air, it reacts with oxygen to produce water  which is safe for the environment. This same property of hydrogen of high explosiveness makes it difficult to store safely.  

Hydrogen can be produced through the electrolysis of water. However this is high energy consuming. The most common method is called steam-methane reforming. Methane from hydrocarbon is mixed with steam under high pressure and reacts to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide.

Diesel and petrol and other petroleum products when burned produce carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases when increasing in the atmosphere, cause greenhouse effect that results in global warming.

An object is launched from the top of a building which is 100 m tall (relative to the ground) at a speed of 22 m/s at an angle o
klio [65]

Answer:

3.58\:\mathrm{s}

Explanation:

We can use the kinematics equation \Delta y=v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2 to solve this problem. To find the initial vertical velocity, find the vertical component of the object's initial velocity using basic trigonometry for right triangles:

\sin28^{\circ}=\frac{y}{22},\\y=22\sin28^{\circ}=10.3283743813\:\mathrm{m/s}

Now we can substitute values in our kinematics equation:

  • \Delta y=-100
  • a=-9.8\:\mathrm{m/s^2} (acceleration due to gravity)
  • v_i=-10.3283743813\:\mathrm{m/s}
  • Solving for t

-100=-10.3283743813t+\frac{1}{2}\cdot -9.8\cdot t^2,\\\\-4.9t^2-10.3283743813t+100=0,\\\\\boxed{t=3.5849312673637455}, t=-5.692762773751501\:\text{(Extraneous)}
