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

Physics
1 answer:
Sloan [31]2 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.

In a two-slit experiment using coherent light, the distance between the slits and the screen is 1.10 m, and the distance between
Paul [167]

Answer:

D) 763 nm

Explanation:

Calculation for the wavelength of light

Using this formula

Wavelength of light=Delta Y*Distance / Length

Where,

Delta Y represent the 2nd order bright fringe

Length represent the distance between both the slits and the screen

Distance represent the Distance between the slits

Let note that cm to m = (4.2) x 10^-2 and mm to m= ( 0.0400x 10^-3)

Now Let plug in the formula

Wavelength of light=[(4.2 x 10^-2m)(0.0400 x 10^-3m) / 2(1.1m)]*10^-7 meters

Wavelength of light=[(0.042m) (0.0004m)/2.2m]*10^-7 meters

Wavelength of light =(0.0000168m/2.2m)*10^-7 meters

Wavelength of light =7.63 *10^-7 meters

Wavelength of light =763 nm

Therefore the Wavelength of light will be 763 nm

Identify and sketch all the external forces acting on the chair. because the chair can be represented as a point particle of mas
SOVA2 [1]

There are two external force acts on the chair.

1. The force due to earth gravity, acts in the downward direction.

2. Reaction force of the gravity, which acts in the Upward direction (Normal Force).

On every object, there is a force acts due to gravity of earth, which pulls the object towards the centre of earth, known as gravity force, always acts in the downward direction. Mathematically it's given as

F=mg

here, m is the mass of the object, and g is the acceleration of gravity.

To balance this gravity force, a counter force acts in the opposite direction, whose magnitude is equal to the force of gravity

Severus Snape knows that density of his powder is 3.00 g/cm3 . He also knows he needs 3.00 cm3 of this powder. What mass in gram
harina [27]

Answer:

He requires 1 gram of mass.

Explanation:

The density is defined as:

\rho = \frac{m}{V}  (1)

Where m is the mass and V is the volume.

Then, m can be isolated from equation 1 in order to determine the mass.

m = \rho \cdot V (2)

m = (3.00g/cm^{3})(3.00cm^{3})  

m = 1g  

Hence, he requires 1 gram of mass.

Choose the best explanation from among the following: A. It takes more energy to go from the Moon to the Earth because the Moon
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

B. The escape speed of the Moon is less than that of the Earth; therefore, less energy is required to leave the Moon.

Explanation:

Since the speed required to escape from the gravitational attraction of the Moon is less than the speed required to escape from the gravitational attraction of the Earth, less energy is required to travel from the Moon to the Earth, than is required to travel from the Earth to the Moon. This is because the kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity.
