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).

Science question: How do humans use the magnetic field for navigation?
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Magnetoreception (also magnetoception) is a sense which allows an organism to detect a magnetic field to perceive direction, altitude, or location. This sensory modality is used by a range of animals for orientation and navigation, and as a method for animals to develop regional maps.

A ball is thrown upward from the top of a 25.0 m tall building. The ball’s initial speed is 12.0 m/sec. At the same instant, a p
zimovet [89]
<h2>Person must have 8.18 m/s to catch the ball</h2>

Explanation:

Consider the vertical motion of ball

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

Initial velocity, u = 12 m/s

Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²

Displacement, s = -25 m

Substituting

             -25 = 12 x t + 0.5 x -9.81 x t²

               4.905 t² -12t - 25 = 0

              t = 3.79 sec

Ball hits ground after 3.79 seconds.

So person need to cover 31 m in 3.79 seconds

Consider the horizontal motion of person

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

Initial velocity, u = ?

Acceleration, a = 0 m/s²

Displacement, s = 31 m

Time, t = 3.79 seconds

Substituting

             31 = u x 3.79 + 0.5 x 0 x 3.71²

               u = 8.18 m/s

Person must have 8.18 m/s to catch the ball
