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.

PLS HELP DUE IN 30 MINS!!! True or false: A large-amplitude pulse travels at a faster speed than a small-amplitude pulse. Explai
OLga [1]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Larger pulse with more energy means that the wave has large amplitude. As in the given question, both the waves are travelling in the same medium, hence their speeds will remain same and therefore the larger pulse will not overtake the smaller pulse. Remember the amplitude of a wave does not affect the speed at which the wave travels

(a) Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on a 445-kg satellite that is a distance of 1.77 earth radii from
victus00 [196]

Answer:

a)1396.52 N

b)1396.52 N

c)a_{satellite}= 3.13 m/sec^2

d)a_{earth}=2.32\times10^{-22} m/s^2

Explanation:

The force experienced by the satelite is giveb by

F= \frac{Gm_{satellite}m_{earth}}{r^2} \\

m_{satellite}= 445 Kg

m_{earth}= 6×10^24 Kg

radius r= 1.77Re= 1.77×6.38×10^6 m

now putting values we get

F= \frac{6.67\times10^{-11}(445)(6\times10^24)}{(1.77\times6.38\times10^6)^2}

⇒F= 1396.52 N

now,

a_{satellite}= \frac{F}{m_{satellite}}

a_{satellite}= \frac{1396.52}{445}

a_{satellite}= 3.13 m/sec^2

also,

a_{earth}= \frac{F}{m_{earth}}

a_{earth}= \frac{1396.52}{(6\times10^24)}

a_{earth}=2.32\times10^{-22} m/s^2
