a person tries to push a refrigerator across the kitchen. She applies as much force as possible, but she cannot make the refrigerator move.

Question

which statement BEST describes by the refrigerator does not move

Answer 1

The best statement to describe why the refrigerator does not move is: "The static friction between the refrigerator and the floor is greater than the force applied by the person."

This indicates that the frictional force resisting the movement exceeds the maximum force the person can exert, preventing the refrigerator from being displaced.
