HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!! What is the difference between a contact force and a distance force?

A contact force are forces that require actual contact (touch) of two pieces of matter.

Distant force is a force that works at a distance not needing any contact (touch) at all.

Think contact requires contact (touch) and distance requires distance (no touch)

Answer:

714.285s

Explanation:

use relative velocity

8-4.5 = 3.5m/s

x = 2500m

2500/3.5 = 714.285s = 700s (with sig figs)

The first confirmed detections of extrasolar planets occurred in ____________. The first confirmed detections of extrasolar plan

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

1992 (Early 1990s)

Explanation:

First of all, i would like to define an extrasolar planet as a planet that orbits a start that is not our own.

The first confirmed detections of extrasolar planets occured in the early 1990s (specifically 1992, some say 1995). The name of the first extrasolar planet is widely believed to be called Dimidium or 51 Pegasi b.

Extrasolar were searched by monitoring stars for slight dimming that might occur as unseen planets pass in front of them.

Astronomers have observed a small, massive object at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. A ring of material orbits this massive

Burka [1]

Answer:

$1.91773\times 10^{37}\ kg$

Explanation:

v = Orbital speed = 130 km/s

d = Diameter = 16 ly

r = Radius = $\dfrac{d}{2}=\dfrac{16}{2}=8\ ly$

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

$1\ ly=9.461\times 10^{15}\ m$

As the centripetal force balances the gravitational energy we have the following relation

$\dfrac{GMm}{r^2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{v^2r}{G}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{130000^2\times 8\times 9.461\times 10^{15}}{6.67\times 10^{-11}}\\\Rightarrow M=1.91773\times 10^{37}\ kg$
