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.

which fire extinguisher is most appropriate to put out a fire that involves a stack of burning newspapers
evablogger [386]

Monoammonium phosphate effectively smothers the fire, while sodium bicarbonate induces a chemical reaction which extinguishes the fire. Fire extinguishers with a Class C rating are suitable for fires in “live” electrical equipment.

In grinding a steel knife blade (specific heat = 0.11 cal/g-c),the metal can get as hot as 400C. If the blade has a mass of 80g,
babymother [125]

Answer:

33 g.

Explanation:

Assuming no heat transfer can be possible except for heat exchange between water and steel, we can say that the heat lost by the knife, must be equal to the heat gained by the water.

As we have a limit for the maximum temperature of both elements (once reached a final thermal equilibrium), of 100ºC, which means that the maximum allowable change in temperature will be of 300º C for the knife, and of 80º C for the water.

Empirically , it has been showed that for a heat exchange process using only conduction, the heat needed to raise the temperature of a body, is proportional to the mass, being the proportionality constant a factor that depends on the material, called specific heat.

So, we can write the following equation:

cs*mk*Δtk = cw*mw*Δtw

Replacing by the givens of the question, we have:

0.11 cal/gºC * 80 g * 300ºC = 1 cal/gºC*mw*80ºC

Solving for mw = 2,640 cal / 80 cal/g =33 g.

Why do iron meteorites represent a much higher percentage of finds than of falls?
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Explanation:

Meteorites falls are those which are collected just after knowing it is falling, whereas meteorites find are found at later times.

Iron meteorites have higher percentage of find because people have found that they are useful and have great qualities. They collect such meteorites thus removing them from scientific record.

The iron meteorite consist of iron nickle alloy and is a usable iron source for humans. Iron meteorites are more resistance to weathering and can easily survive atmospheric entry hence are found in large pieces.

Because of all such features, people collect them and make their most of use, hence its find percentage is higher.
