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

1 answer:

7 0

"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.

How many light years away is the sun from the middle of the Millky way

julsineya [31]

Answer:

The Milky Way is about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 km (about 100,000 light years or about 30 kpc) across. The Sun does not lie near the center of our Galaxy. It lies about 8 kpc from the center on what is known as the Orion Arm of the Milky Way

A 1000-kg car is traveling east at 20\:m.s^{-1}20 m . s − 1 and a 1200-kg car is traveling west at 22\:m.s^{-1}\:22 m . s − 1. W

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

490,400 J

Explanation:

Mass of first car, m = 1000 kg

Mass of second car, M = 1200 kg

velocity of first car, u = 20 m/s east

velocity of second car, U = 22 m/s west

The formula for the kinetic energy is

$k = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

where, m is the body and v be the velocity of the body.

Total kinetic energy is given by

$k = \frac{1}{2}mu^{2}+\frac{1}{2}MU^{2}$

$k = \frac{1}{2}\times1000\times20^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\times1200\times22^{2}$

$k = 200000 + 290400$

k = 490,400 J

Thus, the total kinetic energy of the system is 490,400 J.

A Carnot engine operates between temperature levels of 600 K and 300 K. It drives a Carnot refrigerator, which provides cooling

KATRIN_1 [288]

Explanation:

Formula for maximum efficiency of a Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

$\frac{W}{Q_{H_{1}}} = \frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{1}}}$ ..... (1)

And, formula for maximum efficiency of Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

$\frac{W}{Q_{C_{2}}} = \frac{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}}{T_{C_{2}}}$ ...... (2)

Now, equating both equations (1) and (2) as follows.

$Q_{C_{2}} \frac{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}}{T_{C_{2}}}$ = $Q_{H_{1}} \frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{1}}}$

$\gamma = \frac{Q_{C_{2}}}{Q_{H_{1}}}$

= $\frac{T_{C_{2}}}{T_{H_{1}}} (\frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}})$

= $\frac{250}{600} (\frac{(600 - 300)K}{300 K - 250 K})$

= 2.5

Thus, we can conclude that the ratio of heat extracted by the refrigerator ("cooling load") to the heat delivered to the engine ("heating load") is 2.5.

If a student flicks a stationary 0.1 kg ball with 5N of force for 0.1 seconds. What is its final

Alisiya [41]

5m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ball = 0.1kg

Force on the ball = 5N

time taken = 0.1s

Unknown:

final speed of the ball = ?

Solution:

According to newton's second law "the net force on a body is the product of its mass and acceleration".

Force = mass x acceleration equation 1

Acceleration =

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

T is the time taken

U = O since it is a stationary body;

a = $\frac{V}{T}$

Input "a" into equation 1

F = m x $\frac{V}{T}$

5 = 0.1 x $\frac{V}{0.1}$

V = 5m/s
