The maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator does not tip over is 1.86m/s².
<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>
Acceleration is the change in velocity with time.
The maximum acceleration is obtained by taking moments about the tipping point of rotation.
- Moment = force * perpendicular distance
- Clockwise moment = Anticlockwise moment
F₂ * 1.58 m = F₁ * 0.67 m
where
F₂ is tipping force = mass * acceleration, a
F₁ is weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity, g
The weight acts at a distance half the width of the refrigerator = 30 cm or 0.3 m
Height of refrigerator is 158 cm 0r 1.58 cm
m * a * 1.58 = m * 9.81 * 0.30
a = 1.86 m/s²
The maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator does not tip over is 1.86m/s².
In conclusion, if the maximum acceleration is exceeded, the refrigerator will tip over.

Explanation:
The question is not complete, here is the complete question
<em>"Beatrice and the Elevator Beatrice, a middle school student, is visiting a very tall office building and notices that she feels heavier when the elevator car is traveling up and lighter when the elevator car is traveling down. After making these observations, Beatrice comes back to the building and stands on a bathroom scale that measures her weight as she travels up and down in the elevator.</em>
<em>1. . What question is Beatrice trying to answer?</em>
<em>2. What is one variable Beatrice could change in her investigation? What might she figure out if this
</em>
<em> variable was changed"</em>
1. Beatrice is trying to observe the influence of the elevator movement on her weight, Hence the question is<em> "will the elevator movement cause her weight to change"</em>
therefore moving upward the reading on the scale will increase
Reading=mg+ma
downward
Reading will reduce
Reading=mg-ma
2. The independent variable is the acceleration due to gravity g=9.81m/s^2
while the dependent variables are
i. The elevators acceleration
ii. Beatrice's mass
Answer:
a) 2.7s
b) 29 m/s
Explanation:
The equation for the velocity and position of a free fall are the following
-(1)
- (2)
Since the hot-air ballon is <em>descending </em>at 2.1m/s and the camera is dropped at 42 m above the ground:
To calculate the time which it takes to reach the ground we use eq(2) with x=0, and look for the positive solution of t:
t = 2.71996
Rounding to two significant figures:
t = 2.7 s
Now we calculate the velocity the camera had just before it lands using eq(1) with t=2.7s
v = -28.782 m/s
Rounding to two significant figures:
v = -29 m/s
where the minus sign indicates the downwards direction
