Name one contact force and one force that acts through a force field

1 answer:

5 0

A contact force is a type of force which act on an object by coming in contact with the object. Examples of contact force that acts through a force field are: applied force, frictional force, air resistance force, tension, spring force, etc.
Examples of forces that act through a force field are gravitational force, electromagnetic force, the weak interaction and the strong interaction.

Without completing the calculations, determine what the new volume will be in the problem below. Also, explain how you were able

Talja [164]

Boyles law

Pressure and volume are inversely proportional as the new variable changes from the known.

Double the pressure equals 1/2 of original volume, assuming temperature remains the same.

So 40.0 mL is the new volume as it is compressed.

The half-life of Co-55 is 175 hours. How much of a 4000 g of Cobalt-55 sample would be left after 525 hours?

Harrizon [31]

We know that whatever amount we start with, half of it decays and forms atoms of other elements in 175 hours. So in order to figure out how much is left after 525 hours, we'll need to know how many half-lifes pass in that amount of time.

Well, (525 divided by 175) is exactly 3 half-lifes. So this will be easy.

-- After 1 half-life . . .

. . . . . 50% decays, 50% is still there.

-- After the 2nd half-life . . .

. . . . . (half of the leftover 50%) = another 25% decays, 25% is left.

-- After the 3rd half-life . . .

. . . . . (half of the leftover 25%) = another 12.5% decays, 12.5% is left.

12.5% of 4,000g = (0.125 x 4,000g) = 500 g .

============================================

Another way:

After 1 half-life, 1/2 is left.

After 2 half-lifes, 1/4 is left.

After 3 half-lifes, 1/8 is left.

1/8 of 4,000g = (4,000g/8) = 500 g .

If a cell phone is dropped from a very tall building, how far has the phone fallen after 2.7 seconds, neglecting air resistance?

Zielflug [23.3K]

The free fall of the phone is an uniformly accelerated motion toward the ground, with constant acceleration equal to
$g=9.81 m/s^2$

So, assuming the downward direction as positive direction of the motion, since the phone starts from rest the distance covered by the phone after a time t is given by
$y(t) = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$
And if we substitute t=2.7 s, we find the distance covered:
$y(t)= \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(2.7 s)^2=35.8 m$
