What is the difference between a contact force and a field force?

Physics
1 answer:
yuradex [85]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A contact force requires two objects to be touching, a field force works at a distance

Explanation:

- A contact force is a force that requires the two objects to be touching. An example of contact force is the frictional force: in fact, frictional force only occurs if the surfaces of the two objects involved touch each other, otherwise it is not present.

- A field force is a force that acts on a distance, i.e. the objects involved do not need to touch. Examples of field force are the gravitational force and the electric force: in fact, an object with mass m experiences a force of gravity when it is near a planet, but this force is present also when the object is not touching the planet. Similarly, electric charges experience an electric force when they are close to other electri charges, even when they are separated by a certain distance r. For this non-contact forces, we use the concept of field to identify the region of space in which an object experiences that force.

TRUE OR FALSE
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When an object is held higher, it has more potential energy because more energy is stored from its higher position to swing further than it would have, had it been held lower.

A person is pulling their 20 kg luggage using the luggage handle. The handle is at an angle of 56 degrees above the horizontal.
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  a = 1.99 m/s²

Explanation:

Data

mass = 20 kg

angle = 56°

Force = 71 N

horizontal acceleration = ?

Process

Find the horizontal force

                                           cos Ф = adjacent side / hypotenuse

                                          adjacent side = hypotenuse x cosФ

                                          adjacent side = 71 x cos 56

                                          a.s. = 39.70 N

Newton's second law

                                  F = ma

                                  a = F/m

                                 a = 39.7 / 20

                                  a = 1.99 m/s²

Law Incorporation [45]
Here, you need to use your "Protractor" as it is given in the question, but we can calculate the value with the help of our mathematical calculation too:
[ Protractor can be use only in real life, not here ]

Draw an imaginary line from initial position to final position.
Now, In that triangle, tan x = P/B
tan x = 1.4 / 2
tan x = 0.70
x = tan⁻¹ (0.70)
x = 35  [ tan 35 = 0.70 ]

In short, Your Answer would be 35 degrees

Hope this helps!
