1) Example of contact force: friction

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

Explanation:

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.

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).

Answer:

The acceleration is 1 cm/s^2.

Explanation:

The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

Here, initial velocity, u = 3/1 = 3 cm/s

final velocity, v = 4/1 = 4 cm/s

time, t = 1 s

Let the acceleration is a.

Use first equation of motion

v = u + at

4 = 3 + 1 x a

a = 1 cm/s^2

What is mean by refleated ray

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Reflected ray. A ray of light or other form of radiant energy which is thrown back from a nonpermeable or nonabsorbing surface; the ray which strikes the surface before reflection is the incident ray.

Answer:

a. 11 m/s at 76° with respect to the original direction of the lighter car.

Explanation:

In this exercise, since both cars make a right angle, let's assume that the lighter car only has a horizontal velocity component (vx) and that the heavier one only has a vertical velocity component (vy). The final velocities for both components for the system can be determined as:

$m_{1} v_{x1}+m_{2}v_{x2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v_{fx}\\m_{1} v_{y1}+m_{2}v_{y2} =(m_{1}+m_{2})v_{fy}$

Assume that the lighter car has a 1kg mass and that the heavier car has a 4 kg mass.

$1*13 + 4*0 = (1+4) v_{fx}\\v_{fx}=\frac{13}{5} =2.6\\1*0 + 4*13 = (1+4) v_{fy}\\v_{fy}=\frac{13*4}{5} =10.4\\$

The magnitude of the final velocity of the wreck can be found as:

$v_{f}^{2}= v_{fx}^{2}+ v_{fy}^{2}\\v_{f}=\sqrt[]{2.6^{2} + 10.4^{2}} \\v_{f}= 10.72$

The final velocity has an intensity of roughly 11 m/s

As for the angle, it can be determined in respect to the lighter car (x axis) as follows:

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{v_{fx} }{v_{f}} )\\\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{2.6}{10.7} )\\\theta = 76^{o}$

Therefore, the wreck has a velocity with an intensity of 11 m/s at 76° with respect to the original direction of the lighter car.
