C. The spring experienced a contact force and the charge experienced a non-contact force

Explanation:

In physics, there are two types of forces:

  • Contact forces: contact forces are those where a contact between the objects involved is needed, in order to have the force. Examples of contact forces are the force of friction (the contact between the two surfaces is needed), or the elastic force in a spring (in fact, the spring needs to be physically in contact with something that stretches it)
  • Non-contact forces: non-contact forces are those where no contact is needed between the objects, so they can be exerted at a distance. Examples are the gravitational force (two masses exert a force on each other even from a distance) or the electric force (two charges exert a force on each other even from a distance).

Therefore, in this example:

  • The spring experiences a contact force
  • The two charges experience a non-contact force

So the correct answer is

C. The spring experienced a contact force and the charge experienced a non-contact force

faltersainse [42]
<span>Answer: For a disc, the moment of inertia about the perpendicular axis through the center is given by 0.5MR^2. where M is the mass of the disc and R is the radius of the disc. For the axis through the edge, use parallel axis theorem. I = I(axis through center of mass) + M(distance between the axes)^2 = 0.5MR^2 + MR^2 (since the axis through center of mass is the axis through the center) = 1.5 MR^2</span>

Which is a diatomic molecule? <br> A. Ar <br> B. CO <br> C. CO2 <br> D. NaCl
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: B. CO

Explanation:

Diatomic molecules are those that are formed by two atoms of the same chemical element (homonuclear diatomic molecule) or different chemical element (heteronuclear diatomic molecule).  

In this sense, oxygen is a homonuclear diatomic molecule because it is formed by two atoms of the same element (O_{2}) and Carbon monoxide (CO) is heteronuclear diatomic molecule.

Sodium Chloride NaCl is not a diatomic molecule because is a product of ionization, but it can be diatomic in its gas phase with a polar covalent bond.

a concrete cube of side 0.50 m and uniform density 2.0 x 103 kg m–3 is lifted 3.0 m vertically by a crane. what is the change in
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Change in potential energy = 7350 Joules

Explanation:

It is given that,

Side of cube, a = 0.5 m

Density of cube, d=2\times 10^3\ kg/m^3

The cube is lifted vertically by a crane to a height of 3 m

We know that, density d=\dfrac{m}{V}

So, m = d × V  (V = volume of cube = a³)

m=2\times 10^3\ kg/m^3\times (0.5\ m)^3

m = 250 kg

We have to find the change in potential energy of the cube. At ground level, the potential energy is equal to 0.

Potential energy at height h is given by :

PE=mgh

PE = 250 kg × 9.8 m/s² ×3 m

PE = 7350 Joules

So, change in potential energy of the cube is 7350 Joules.

If 745-nm and 660-nm light passes through two slits 0.54 mm apart, how far apart are the second-order fringes for these two wave
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

0.82 mm

Explanation:

The formula for calculation an n^{th} bright fringe from the central maxima is given as:

y_n=\frac{n \lambda D}{d}

so for the distance of the second-order fringe when wavelength \lambda_1 = 745-nm can be calculated as:

y_2 = \frac{n \lambda_1 D}{d}

where;

n = 2

\lambda_1 = 745-nm

D = 1.0 m

d = 0.54 mm

substituting the parameters in the above equation; we have:

y_2 = \frac{2(745nm*\frac{10^{-9m}}{1.0nm}(1.0m) }{0.54 (\frac{10^{-3m}} {1.0mm})}

y_2 = 0.00276 m

y_2 = 2.76 × 10 ⁻³ m

The distance of the second order fringe when the wavelength \lambda_2 = 660-nm is as follows:

y^'}_2 = \frac{2(660nm*\frac{10^{-9m}}{1.0nm}(1.0m) }{0.54 (\frac{10^{-3m}} {1.0mm})}

y^'}_2 = 1.94 × 10 ⁻³ m

So, the distance apart the two fringe can now be calculated as:

\delta y = y_2-y^{'}_2

\delta y = 2.76 × 10 ⁻³ m - 1.94 × 10 ⁻³ m

\delta y = 10 ⁻³ (2.76 - 1.94)

\delta y = 10 ⁻³ (0.82)

\delta y = 0.82 × 10 ⁻³ m

\delta y =  0.82 × 10 ⁻³ m (\frac{1.0mm}{10^{-3}m} )

\delta y = 0.82 mm

Thus, the distance apart the second-order fringes for these two wavelengths = 0.82 mm

A kangaroo jumps straight up to a vertical height of 1.45 m. How long was it in the air before returning to Earth?
dexar [7]

Answer:

1.08 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) reached = 1.45 m

Time of flight (T) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the kangaroo to return from the height of 1.45 m. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 1.45 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

1.45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

1.45 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 1.45/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(1.45/4.9)

t = 0.54 s

Note: the time taken to fall from the height(1.45m) is the same as the time taken for the kangaroo to get to the height(1.45 m).

Finally, we shall determine the total time spent by the kangaroo before returning to the earth. This can be obtained as follow:

Time (t) taken to reach the height = 0.54 s

Time of flight (T) =?

T = 2t

T = 2 × 0.54

T = 1.08 s

Therefore, it will take the kangaroo 1.08 s to return to the earth.
