Forces that affect objects without touching them are called field forces. Is gravity a field force? Explain.

Yes, gravity is a field force because gravity starts from the inside layers of the earth, but doesn't touch us physically, an example of this would be that if we jump, gravity would pull us back down, but without touching you physically.

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

a) 919 m

b) 183.8 m

Explanation:

140 calories = 140 * 4186 J/calorie = 586040 J

a)When the hiker climbs a mountain, this energy is converted to potential energy, which has the following formula

P = mgh

where m = 65 kg is the mass, g = 9.81 m/s2 is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height that he climbs

586040 = 65*9.81h

h = 586040 / (65*9.81) = 919 m

b) If only 20% of food energy goes into mechanical energy, then the actual potential energy is

586040 * 0.2 = 117208

Similarly, the height that he could climbs is

h = 117208 / (65*9.81) = 183.8 m

A car accelerates at a rate of 3.0 m/s2. If its original speed is 8.0 m/s, how many seconds will it take the car to reach a fina
V125BC [204]

Answer:

5.7 s

Explanation:

Given:

a = 3.0 m/s²

v₀ = 8.0 m/s

v = 25.0 m/s

Find: t

v = at + v₀

25.0 m/s = (3.0 m/s²) t + 8.0 m/s

t ≈ 5.7 s

Two particles with positive charges q1 = 0.480nC and q2 = 7.60nC are separated by a distance of 1.16m. At what point along the l
Burka [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric field E = k Q / R²

k = 9 x 10⁹ , Q is charge and R is distance of point from the charge where field is to be found .

Electric field due to q₁ at distance x where total field is zero

E₁ = k x .48 x 10⁻⁹ / x²

Electric field due to other charge at that point

E₂ = k x 7.6 x 10⁻⁹ /( 1.16-x )²

For net field to be zero , E₁ and E₂ should be equal and opposite

k x .48 x 10⁻⁹ / x²  =  k x 7.6 x 10⁻⁹ /( 1.16-x )²

(1.16 - x )² / x² = 7.6 / .48 = 15.8333

1.16 - x / x = ±3.979

1.16 - x = 3.979 x

1.16 = 4.979 x

x = .233 m

distance from other charge

= 1.16 - .233

= .927 m .
