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

Which term is undefined?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The term which is considered as being undefined is referred to as a point and is therefore denoted as option A in this context.

<h3>What is a Point?</h3>

This is defined as as small round mark written on a plane which signifies the position or location of a substance. This can also be seen as a dot and is also used to separate a group of numbers such as in the case of decimals etc.

It is referred to as being undefined alongside a plane, line etc as a result of it only being explained using specific examples and descriptions unlike a segment which can be viewed and understood easily when working on the parameter.

This is therefore the reason why a point is undefined and the most appropriate choice.

A person having a mass of 85 kg sits on the edge of a horizontal rotating platform, 2.2 m from the center of the platform, and h
gulaghasi [49]
The angular momentum of the person is given by:
L=mvr
where m=85 Kg is the mass of the person, v=6.6 m/s is the tangential velocity, and r=2.2 m is the distance of the person from the center of rotation. Using these data, we find
L=(85 Kg)(6.6 m/s)(2.2 m)=1234.2 Kg \cdot m^2/s
