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.

A baseball player throws a ball horizontally at the same moment another baseball player jobs a second ball straight down from th

attashe74 [19]

I don't know what you mean when you say he "jobs" the other ball, and the answer to this question really depends on that word.

I'm going to say that the second player is holding the second ball, and he just opens his fingers and lets the ball drop, at the same time and from the same height as the first ball.

Now I'll go ahead and answer the question that I've just invented:

Strange as it may seem, both balls hit the ground at the same time ... the one that's thrown AND the one that's dropped. The horizontal speed of the thrown ball has no effect on its vertical acceleration, so both balls experience the same vertical behavior.

And here's another example of the exact same thing:

Say you shoot a bullet straight out of a horizontal rifle barrel, AND somebody else drops another bullet at exactly the same time, from a point right next to the end of the rifle barrel. I know this is hard to believe, but both of those bullets hit the ground at the same time too, just like the baseballs ... the bullet that's shot out of the rifle and the one that's dropped from the end of the barrel.

A person weighing 500 N climbs 3 m. How much power is needed to make the climb in 5 sec?

kkurt [141]

work = 500*3 = 1500 J
1500J in 5 sec = 300 watts

Hope that helps:)

To heat the house, the boiler transfers 15 MJ of energy in 10 minutes.

Harrizon [31]

The formula is P = E/t, where P means power in watts, E means energy j , and t means time in seconds. This formula states that power is the consumption of energy per unit of time.

P = 15 M / 10*60

M = mega = 10⁶

15 *10⁶ / 600

= 25000 watt

Select the appropriate units for each property of a wave.

IceJOKER [234]

Intensity: Decibels

Amplitude: Meters

Frequency: Hertz

Explanation:

The Wave is not visible to eyes and they can easily propagate through vacuum. the average power travelling at a given period of time in a space is the intensity. Decibels is the measure of intensity. it is measured in the decibel scale. The wave's strength and the intensity gives the amplitude of wave. It is measured using meters.

The wave's amplitude and the energy has a direct proportionality. The number occurrence of wave cycles per second refers to the frequency of wave. it is measured in hertz. it is also measured as the number of cycles that occurs per second.
