Which of the following is a contact force?

2 answers:

7 0

Air resistance is a contact force as the air comes in direct contact with the object and pushes against it. Magnetic force - you can attract a magnet without touching it. Gravity, works on you when you are not in contact with the earth, pulling you down. Electrical force, between 2 electrons when not in contact.

The contact force is indeed caused by "Contact".

Air resistance is basically a type of friction, which is apparently present providing two object contact.

The rest selections are all interaction force, which is not necessarily caused by contact.

What's the difference in a balanced force in an unbalanced force

AlekseyPX

There's no such thing as one balanced force or one unbalanced force.

If ALL of the forces in a GROUP of forces acting on the same object
all add up to zero, then we say that the GROUP of forces is balanced.

If they don't, then the GROUP of forces is unbalanced.

Two or more forces can be balanced or unbalanced.
One force can't.

A 50.0-g object connected to a spring with a force constant of 35.0 n/m oscillates with an amplitude of 4.00 cm on a frictionles

Dimas [21]

A) The total energy of the system is sum of kinetic energy and elastic potential energy:
$E=K+U= \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}kx^2$
where
m is the mass
v is the speed
k is the spring constant
x is the elongation/compression of the spring

The total energy is conserved, so we can calculate its value at any point of the motion. If we take the point of maximum displacement:
$x=A=4.00 cm = 0.04 m$
then the velocity of the system is zero, so the total energy is just potential energy, and it is equal to
$E=U= \frac{1}{2}kA^2 = \frac{1}{2}(35.0 N/m)(0.04 m)^2=0.028 J$

b) When the position of the object is
$x=1.00 cm = 0.01 m$
the potential energy of the system is
$U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}(35.0 N/m)(0.01 m)^2 = 1.75 \cdot 10^{-3} J$
and so the kinetic energy is
$K=E-U=0.028 J - 1.75 \cdot 10^{-3}J =0.026 J$
since the mass is $m=50.0 g=0.05 kg$ , and the kinetic energy is given by
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
we can re-arrange the formula to find the speed of the object:
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 0.026 J}{0.05 kg} }=1.02 m/s$

c) The potential energy when the object is at
$x=3.00 cm=0.03 m$
is
$U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}(35.0 N/m)(0.03 m)^2 =0.016 J$
Therefore the kinetic energy is
$K=E-U=0.028 J-0.016 J = 0.012 J$

d) We already found the potential energy at point c, and it is given by
$U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}(35.0 N/m)(0.03 m)^2 =0.016 J$

If the distance to a point source of sound is doubled, by what multiplicative factor does the intensity change?

alina1380 [7]

If the distance to a point source of sound is doubled, by a multiplicative factor of 4, the intensity changes.

Intensity of sound is the sound which is perpendicular to sound wave propogation per unit area. It is dependent on the Surface of source sound.

Intensity is the Power per unit area. Its SI unit is Watt/m².

As we move away from a source of sound, the sound starts to diminish. This is due to the decreasing sound intensity with distance.

It can also be understood by the fact that on increasing distance, the Power radiated by the source spreads over a larger area. Hence, the Intensity decreases gradually.

Since, Intensity is proportional to the square of the distance.

Hence, on doubling the distance, Intensity reduces to one fourth of the initial intensity or reduces by a multiplicative factor of 4.
