Answer:

D. Both occur between objects independently whether they are in contact  or not.

Explanation:

- The gravitational force is a force that is exerted between two (or more) objects having mass. This force is always attractive and its magnitude is given by

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the two masses, and r is the distance between the two masses.

- The electrical force is a force that is exerted between two (or more) objects having electrical charge. It can be either attractive or repulsive, depending on the sign of the two charges, and its magnitude is given by

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the two charges, and r the distance between the two charges.

Looking at both formulas, we see that the two forces are present even when the two objects are not in contact with each other (in fact, r can assume any value in the formula). They are said to be non-contact forces. Therefore, the correct option is

D. Both occur between objects independently whether they are in contact  or not.

If a reaction starts with 30 grams how many should it end with ?
zysi [14]

30grams

Explanation:

If a reaction starts with 30grams then the reaction should end with 30grams.

This in conformity with the law of conservation of mass.

  • The law states that "in an isolated system, mass is neither created nor destroyed during chemical transformation".
  • Mass is the quantity of matter contained in a substance.
  • In chemical reactions, the mass of reactants must always be the same with the mass of the product baring any loss.
  • In an isolated system, there is no exchange of energy and mass.
  • Chemical systems are usually treated as isolated systems in which mass is conserved.
