Answer & Explanation:

In physics, a contact force is a force that acts at the point of contact between two objects, in contrast to body forces. Contact forces are described by Newton's laws of motion, as with all other forces in dynamics. Contact force is the force in which an object comes in contact with another object. Contact forces are also direct forces. Contact forces are ubiquitous and are responsible for most visible interactions between macroscopic collections of matter. Pushing a car up a hill or kicking a ball or pushing a desk across a room are some of the everyday examples where contact forces are at work. In the first case the force is continuously applied by the person on the car, while in the second case the force is delivered in a short impulse.

swat32

Answer:

4)experiments with cathode ray tubes

Explanation:

when sufficiently high voltage is applied across the electrods, current starts flowing through a stream of particles moving in the tube the negative electrode (cathode) to the positive electrode (anode). These were called Cathode Rays or Cathode Ray Particles

Describe the difference between intensive and extensive propoerties. Which of the following propoerties are intensive: (a) mass;

STatiana [176]

Answer:

The properties that do not vary with the variation in the quantity of the material are called as intensive property.

While the extensive properties are those which vary with the variation in the quantity of the material.

Intensive properties:

Mass and volume

Extensive properties:

Density and melting point

Explanation:

The properties that do not vary with the variation in the quantity of the material are called as intensive property.

While the extensive properties are those which vary with the variation in the quantity of the material.

Intensive properties:

Mass and volume, as with increase in quantity of the material mass and volume increases.

Extensive properties:

Density and melting point, as they remain constant for a object or material
