How do contact forces such as friction differ from gravitational and magnetic forces?

Physics

Sloan [31]3 years ago

"Contact" means "touching".  A contact force can't act on an object unless
they're touching. Friction is a contact force.

Gravitational forces pull masses together even if they're not touching.
Magnetic forces pull a piece of iron toward a magnet even if they're not touching.

Gravitational and magnetic forces are "non-contact" forces.

This is the Doppler effect.

1. As the sound leaves the horn the sound waves are at first close to each other and as they move outwards they become further apart. The closer the sound waves are the louder the noise.

As the car gets the closer the sound waves get closer, so the horn becomes louder.

2. As the horn moves away, the sound waves become less frequent, causing the pitch to get lower.

In a closed system, as kinetic energy increases, what happens to potential energy?
kupik [55]
<h2>Because kinetic energy is proportional to the velocity squared, increases in velocity will have an exponentially greater effect on translational kinetic energy. Doubling the mass of an object will only double its kinetic energy, but doubling the velocity of the object will quadruple its velocity.</h2>
