You are helping your friend move a new refrigerator into his kitchen. You apply a horizontal force of 275 N in the positive x direction to try and move the 61 kg refrigerator. The coefficient of static friction is 0.58. (a) How much static frictional force does the floor exert on the refrigerator

f = 347.08 N

Explanation:

The frictional force exerted by the floor on the refrigerator is given as follows:

where,

f = frictional force = ?

μ = coefficient of static friction = 0.58

W = Weight of refrigerator = mg

m = mass of refrigerator = 61 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

f = 347.08 N

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
