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.

The formation of condensation on a glass of ice water causes the ice to melt faster than it would otherwise. If 8.55 g of conden

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

m = 62.14 g

Explanation:

Energy used to melt the ice is the energy released by the condensation of the water forms on the glass

so here we have

energy for the condensation of water is given as

let mass of water condensed = m

$E = m_1 L_f$

now the energy of vaporization is given as

$E = m_2 L_v$

here we know that

$L_f = 79.8 kCal/kg$

$L_v = 580 k Cal/kg$

Now we have

$8.55 \times 580 = m \times 79.8$

$m = 62.14 g$

A playground slide is in the form of an arc of a circle with a maximum height of 3.0 m, with a radius of 8.5 m, and with the gro

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

a) $s \approx 6.676\,m$

Explanation:

a) Let assume that the ground is not inclined, since the bottom of the playground slide is tangent to ground. Then, the length of given by the definition of a circular arc:

$s = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot R$

$s=\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot (8.5\,m)$

$s \approx 6.676\,m$

The bottom of the slide has a height of zero. The physical phenomenon around Dr. Ritchey's daughter is modelled after Principle of Energy Conservation. The child begins at rest:

$U_{g,A} = K_{B} + W_{fr}$

$m\cdot g \cdot h_{A} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{B}^{2} + f\cdot s$

The average frictional force is cleared within the expression:

$f = \frac{m\cdot (g\cdot h_{A}-\frac{1}{2}\cdot v_{B}^{2})}{s}$

$f = \frac{(12\,kg)\cdot [(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (3\,m)-\frac{1}{2}\cdot (4.5\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2} ]}{6.676\,m}$

$f = 34.684\,N$

Two balls of clay, with masses M1 = 0.49 kg and M2 = 0.47 kg, are thrown at each other and stick when they collide. Mass 1 has a

malfutka [58]

Answer:

a) $p_i=1.568\hat{i}+0.752 \hat{j}$

b) $v_{fx}=1.668\ m.s^{-1}$

c) $v_{fy}=0.7999\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given masses:

$m_1=0.49\ kg$

$m_2=0.47\ kg$

Velocity of mass 1, $v_1=3.2 \hat{i}\ m.s^{-1}$

Velocity of mass 2, $v_2=1.6 \hat{j}\ m.s^{-1}$

Initial momentum:

$p_i=m_1.v_1+m_2.v_2$

$p_i=0.49\times 3.2 \hat{i}+0.47\times 1.6 \hat{j}$

$p_i=1.568\hat{i}+0.752 \hat{j}$

magnitude of initial momentum:

$p_i=\sqrt{1.568^2+0.752 ^2}$

$p_i=1.739\ kg.m.s^{-1}$

From the conservation of momentum:

$p_f=p_i$

$m_f.v_f=1.739$

$v_f=\frac{1.739}{0.49+0.47}$

$v_f=1.85\ m.s^{-1}$ is the magnitude of final velocity.

Direction of final velocity will be in the direction of momentum:

$tan\theta=\frac{0.752 }{1.568}$

$\theta=25.62^{\circ}$

$\therefore v_{fx}=1.85\ cos25.62^{\circ}$

$v_{fx}=1.668\ m.s^{-1}$

Vertical component of final velocity:

$v_{fy}=1.85\ sin 25.62^{\circ}$

$v_{fy}=0.7999\ m.s^{-1}$
