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

Physics
1 answer:
Sloan [31]3 years ago
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.

A child is prescribed a drug X; the recommended manufacturer’s dose is 2.50 mg/m2. The body surface area (BSA) of the child is 1
guapka [62]

Answer: 3.75 mg

Explanation:

We need a dose of 2.50 mg per square meter of BSA, and we also know that the BSA of the child is 1.50 m^2, then if the dosage should be 2.50mg for one m^2, for 1,5 m^2 we should administrate an amount of:

D = 1.5 m^2*(2.50mg/m^2) = 1.5*2.5 mg = 3.75 mg

describe how you can use a compass needle to determine the direction of a magnetic field at a given location
Solnce55 [7]

The compass doesn’t give you the value of the net magnetic field, just the direction. So, how do you get the magnitude of a particular field from this? The trick is to assume the value of the Earth’s magnetic field and the direction of the compass. Let’s assume that at this location on the Earth, the magnetic field is pointing directly North with a horizontal component of about 2 x 10-5 T.

Now suppose that I do something to create a magnetic field in a known direction and perpendicular to the horizontal component of the Earth’s magnetic field. Here is an example where I put a current carrying wire right over the compass needle. Since the compass is underneath the wire, the magnetic field due to the wire will be 90° to the Earth’s magnetic field.

A toaster uses 6700 joules of energy in 45 seconds to toast to a piece of bread what is power of the oven
just olya [345]
P= w/t and W= Work 
In this case, W= 6,700j, and T= 45 seconds
Power is the ratio of work  per unit time. When you perform a work in a given span of time, the ratio of work performed with respect to time is Called Power. 
si unit for Power is Watt (W) 
so, P= 6,700/45
P= 148 
Final answer is P=148
