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.

The earth's radius is 6.37×106m; it rotates once every 24 hours. What is the earth's angular speed? What is the speed of a point
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

a) w = 7.27 * 10^-5 rad/s

b) v1 = 463.1 m/s

c) v1 = 440.433 m/s

Explanation:

Given:-

- The radius of the earth,  R = 6.37 * 10 ^6 m

- The time period for 1 revolution T = 24 hrs

Find:

What is the earth's angular speed?

What is the speed of a point on the equator?

What is the speed of a point on the earth's surface located at 1/5 of the length of the arc between the equator and the pole, measured from equator?

Solution:

- The angular speed w of the earth can be related with the Time period T of the earth revolution by:

                                  w = 2π / T

                                  w = 2π / 24*3600

                                  w = 7.27 * 10^-5 rad/s

- The speed of the point on the equator v1 can be determined from the linear and rotational motion kinematic relation.

                                 v1 = R*w

                                 v1 = (6.37 * 10 ^6)*(7.27 * 10^-5)

                                 v1 = 463.1 m/s

- The angle θ subtended by a point on earth's surface 1/5 th between the equator and the pole wrt equator is.

                                 π/2  ........... s

                                 x     ............ 1/5 s

                                 x = π/2*5 = 18°    

- The radius of the earth R' at point where θ = 18° from the equator is:

                                R' = R*cos(18)

                                R' = (6.37 * 10 ^6)*cos(18)

                                R' = 6058230.0088 m

- The speed of the point where θ = 18° from the equator v2 can be determined from the linear and rotational motion kinematic relation.

                              v2 = R'*w

                              v2 = (6058230.0088)*(7.27 * 10^-5)

                              v2 = 440.433 m/s

The magnetic field is 0.0 2M from the wire is 0.1 T what is the magnitude of the magnetic field 0.0 1M from the same wire
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

0.2 T

Explanation:

Magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance from wire since the distance is halved therefore magnetic field will be doubled.

Does A= 6.4 B=12 C=12.2 Form a RIGHT TRIANLGE?
Lina20 [59]
To answer this question, you must remember the equation:

a²+b²= c²

(6.4)² + (12)²=   (12.2)²

<span>40.96 + 144 = 184.96
</span> (12.2)² = <span>148.84
</span>
184.96 ≠ 148.84

This cannot be a triangle

hope this helps
