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

Physics
1 answer:
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.

What causes irregular galaxies to be irregular
Mariulka [41]

Irregular galaxies get their odd shapes in many ways. One way irregular galaxies are formed is when galaxies collide or come close to one another, and their gravitational forces interact. Another source of irregular galaxies may be very young galaxies that have not yet reached a symmetrical state.

A motorcyclist changes the velocity of his bike from 20.0 meters/second to 35.0 meters/second under a constant acceleration of 4
shutvik [7]
You can use the equation V=Vo+at since the acceleration is constant. Plugging in the values you know, you will get an answer of 3.75 seconds
