Do two bodies have to be in physical contact to exert a force upon one another?

Physics
1 answer:
Mekhanik [1.2K]2 years ago
3 0

The correct answer to the statement " Do two bodies have to be in physical contact to exert a force upon one another " is:

No, the gravitational force is a field force and does not require physical contact to exert

a force.

The correct option is a.

<h3>Why two bodies do not have to be in physical contact to exert a force upon one another as a result of gravitational force.</h3>

It has been practically proven that two bodies can exert a force upon each other even if there is no physical contact between them. This can as a result of gravity.

That being said, a magnetic attraction can also exert a force between two different bodies upon one another.

So therefore, it can be deduced from above that two different bodies do not have to be in physical contact before they exert a force upon one another.

Briefly answer the following questions. a) A clock is mounted on the wall. As you look at it, what is the direction of the angul
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) The direction of angular velocity vector of second hand will be along the line going into the plane of dial perpendicular to it.

b )  If the angular acceleration of a rigid body is zero, the angular velocity will remain constant.

c )  If another planet the same size as Earth were put into orbit around the Sun along with Earth  the moment of inertia of the system will increase because the mass of the system increases. Moment of inertia depends upon mass and its distribution around the axis.

d ) Increasing the number of blades on a propeller increases the moment of inertia , because both mass and mass distribution around axis of rotation increases.

e ) It is not possible  that  a body has the same moment of inertia for all possible axes because a body can not remain symmetrical about all axes possible. Sphere has same moment of inertia about all axes passing through its centre.

f ) To maximize the moment of inertia of a flywheel while minimizing its weight, the  shape and distribution of mass should be such that maximum mass of the body may be situated at far end of the body from axis of rotation . So flywheel must have thick outer boundaries and this should be

attached with axis with the help of thin rods .

g ) When the body is rotating at the same place , its translational kinetic   energy is zero but its rotational energy can be increased

at the same place.
