What is an example of a non contact force

Physics
1 answer:
olchik [2.2K]4 years ago
8 0

Answer: Gravitational force

Explanation:

A non contact force can be described as a force applied to an object by another body that is not in direct contact with it.

For example, an object thrown upwards will return back due to the force of gravity acting on it. So, it means Gravitational force is acting on the body without necessarily being in contact with that body.

larisa [96]

I attached the requested diagram.

<em>In the case of the magnetic field in a bar</em> by convention, the direction of the field is taken out of the north pole and towards the south pole of the magnet. These types of images are commonly made of some ferrous material.

<em>In the case of the horseshoe </em>magnet, the highly concentrated magnetic field is distinguished between its legs. In the figure it is shown in a contribution from North to South, again by agreement, however outside the two poles, the magnetic field falls rapidly. A horseshoe magnet is basically a bent bar magnet.

Two identical metal spheres A and B are in contact. Both are initially neutral. 1.0× 10 12 electrons are added to sphere A, then
Vilka [71]

Answer:

8 x 10^-8 C on both the spheres.

Explanation:

Number of electrons added to A = 1 x 10^12

As the sphere A and B are identical to each other so the charge is shared equally.

Charge of one electron = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

Charge on A after wards

= number of electrons after wards x charge of one electron

qA = 0.5 x 10^12 x 1.6 x 10^-19 = 8 x 10^-8 C

Similarly, the charge on sphere B afterwards

= number of electrons after wards x charge of one electron

qB = 0.5 x 10^12 x 1.6 x 10^-19 = 8 x 10^-8 C

A boat crosses a river of width 229 m in which the current has a uniform speed of 0.756 m/s. The pilot maintains a bearing (i.e.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

1.85 m/s

102.438 m

Explanation:

From vector motion

The resultant velocity

R=\sqrt{0.756^2+1.69^2}\\\Rightarrow R=1.85\ m/s

The magnitude of speed of the speed of the boat relative to a stationary shore observer is 1.85 m/s

The distance covered is 229 m

Time = Distance / Speed

\text{Time}=\frac{229}{1.69}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time}=135.50\ s

Distance = Speed of current × Time

Distance = 0.756×135.5 = 102.438 m

The boat will be 102.438 m from the initial position is the boat when it reaches the opposite shore

What kind of animals might benefit from a locust swarm​
Serggg [28]

Birds that eat insects, this is because their is more of their primary food source for them. If they're constantly there from the locust they wont have to look for food and will be able to reproduce and populate their territory. An example would be how when the Euorpean rabbit came to Australia, it took out the native competiton and was able to eat the vast amount of plants that was perfect for their diet back in Europe, but not so much for the other animals.
