What are some contact forces in the geosphere?

1) Example of contact force: friction

2) Examples of non-contact forces: gravity and electromagnetic force

Explanation:

1)

Contact forces are forces that acts only when the objects involved are touching.

An example of contact force in the geosphere is friction. Friction is a force that acts when two objects slide past each other, and the surfaces of the two objects are in contact. Due to the presence of "microbumps" on the two surfaces, there is a resistive force opposing the motion of the two objects, and this force is called friction.

Friction also acts when an object is moving through a fluid, although it takes a different name: resistance. Also in this case, the resistance acts in the direction opposite to the motion of the object, slowing it down.

2)

Non-contact forces are forces that act from a distance, therefore they act even when the objects involved are not touching.

Examples of non-contact forces are:

  • Gravitational force: this is an attractive force that acts between any object with mass. Its magnitude is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.
  • Electromagnetic force: this is a force exerted between electrically charged objects. Its magnitude is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges. It can be attractive (if the charges have opposite sign) or repulsive (if the charges have same sign).

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The time constant τ = L/R represent the time requiered for the curent to get value of 63 % of its maximun value

Explanation:

In a circuit RL ( serie circuit with a resistor R and the inductor L ) when a voltage is applied the inductor will have a reaction, such reaction consist in the creation of an electromotive force which will prevent the current to get its maximun value. The time constant which in the case of an inductor is

τ = L/R ,  represent the time requiered for the crrent to be 63 % of its final value

Qualitative and Quantitative Momentum Problems.
Elena L [17]

Answer: the reaction force is large.

Explanation:

From Newton's third law, we know that for every action, there is equal and opposite reaction.

Since, a large amount of high speed of water is ejecting out from hose. The high momentum due to large speed in short duration of time would cause water to eject out with great force. The reaction force would act on the firefighter holding the hose. An equal amount of large force would act on him. Thus, it is difficult for a firefighter to hold a hose that ejects large amounts of high speed water.
