What are some contact forces in the geosphere?

Physics
1 answer:
aivan3 [116]3 years ago
4 0

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).

6. A .25 kg arrow with a velocity of 12 m/s to the west strikes and pierces the center of a 6.8 kg target. a. What is the final
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

(a) the final velocity of the combined mass is 9.43 m/s

(b) the decrease in kinetic energy during the collision is 386.1 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of arrow, m₁ = 25 kg

initial velocity of arrow, u₁ = 12 m/s

mass of target, m₂ = 6.8 kg

initial velocity of the target, u₂ = 0

Part (a)

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁+m₂)

where;

v is the final velocity of the combined mass

25 x 12 + 0 = v(25 + 6.8)

300 = v(31.8)

v = 300/31.8

v = 9.43 m/s

Part(b)

Kinetic Energy, K.E = ¹/₂mv²

Initial kinetic energy =  ¹/₂m₁u₁² + ¹/₂m₂u₂²  = ¹/₂ x 25 x (12)² + 0 = 1800 J

Final kinetic energy = ¹/₂m₁v² + ¹/₂m₂v² = ¹/₂v²(m₁ + m₂)

                                                               = ¹/₂ x (9.43)²(25+6.8)

                                                               = 1413.91 J

Decrease in kinetic energy = Initial K.E - Final K.E

Decrease in kinetic energy = 1800J - 1413.91 J = 386.1 J

Use dimensional analysis to convert the following units. Show your work.
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

conversion of 2.5 days to seconds

2.5 days =2.5 days*24 hours*3600 seconds

2.5 days=216000seconds

b) conversion of 25 km to mm

1 km=1000000 mm

therefore

25 km=25*1000000=25000000 mm

c) conversion 22 g to kg

1000 g=1 kg

therefore

22 g=22/1000=0.022 kg

What is the specific heat capacity of silver metal if 55.00 g of the metal
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

0.240 J/g/°C

Explanation:

q = mCΔT

47.3 cal = (55.00 g) C (15.0°C)

C = 0.0573 cal/g/°C

Usually, specific heat is measured in J/g/°C, so we can convert:

C = 0.0573 cal/g/°C × 4.184 J/cal

C = 0.240 J/g/°C
