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

Why collaboration in science is critical to success in the scientific community
Marianna [84]
Collaboration in science is important because if only one scientist does an experiment, and gets a result, he/she could have messed. So this is where collaboration comes in. A few other scientists could try the experiment, and if they get the same answers, the result may be proven correct.

A car slows from 27 m/s to 5 m/s with a constant acceleration for 6.87 s. What is the car’s acceleration?
Kobotan [32]

In this case, the movement is uniformly delayed (the final rapidity is less than the initial rapidity), therefore, the value of the acceleration will be negative.

1. The following equation is used:

a = (Vf-Vo)/ t

a: acceleration (m/s2)

Vf: final rapidity (m/s)

Vo: initial rapidity (m/s)

t: time (s)

2. Substituting the values in the equation:

a = (5 m/s- 27 m/s)/6.87 s

3. The car's acceleration is:

a= -3.20 m/ s<span>^2</span>
