A baseball bat hits a ball is an example of contact force.

Option A.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Contact force is defined as those forces which are acting between two bodies by actually touch between two bodies.

In case of the book falling to ground, the force acting is the gravitational force. Gravitational force acts even when two bodies aren't in contact. So its a non contact force.

Similar is the condition of the leaf and ground where the gravitational force acts.

The magnetic force between the paper clip and the magnet is also non contact force, which acts even when two bodies aren't in contact.

But the bat hitting the ball is having direct contact between the two bodies, and their contact is what makes the ball fly off. So its a contact force.

A capacitor consists of two square plates, 8.7 cm on a side, separated by a 2.0 mm air gap. How much energy would be stored in t
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

122.84 J

Explanation:

Since plate is square, area, A is given by (8.7/100)^{2}=0.007569m^{2}

The distance between plates, d, is given in the question as 2mm=0.002m

Charge on plate, Q, as given in the question is 240 \mu c

Assuming mica dielectric constant, k of 7

Capacitance, C is given by

C=\frac {k\epsilon_{o}A}{d}=\frac {(7)(8.85*10^{-12})(0.007569)}{0.002}=2.34*10*^{-10}F

Stored energy, E is given by

E=\frac {Q^{2}}{2C}=\frac {(240*10^{-6})^{2}}{2*(2.34*10^{-10})}=122.84J

Therefore, the stored energy is 122.84 J

Anyone who scuba dives is advised not to fly within the next 24 h because the air mixture for diving can introduce nitrogen into
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let pressure at surface of earth be P Pa.  

pressure at height of 8.1 km in air can be calculated as follows .

pressure due to column of air of 8.1 km height

= h d g , h is height , d is density of air and g is acceleration due to gravity

= 8.1 x 1000 x .87 x 9.8 = 6.9 x 10⁴ Pa .

pressure at the height of 8.1 km

= P - 6.9 x 10⁴ Pa

Pressure due to  column  of 16 m in the sea

= h d g

16 x 1000 x 9.8

= 15.68 x 10⁴ Pa .

Pressure at depth of 16m

= P + 15.68 x 10⁴

pressure difference between points at height of 8.1 km and pressure at point 16 m deep

=  P + 15.68 x 10⁴ -  P +  6.9 x 10⁴ Pa

= 22.58 x 10⁴ Pa .
