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).

5) [Honors]A seagull, ascending straight upward at 5.2 m/s, drops a shell when it is 12.5m above the ground. (A)

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

(B) 13.9 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 5.2 m/s

y₀ = 12.5 m

(A) The acceleration in free fall is -9.8 m/s².

(B) At maximum height, v = 0 m/s.

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0 m/s)² = (5.2 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (y − 12.5 m)

y = 13.9 m

v = at + v₀

-5.2 m/s = (-9.8 m/s²) t + 5.2 m/s

t = 1.06 s

A 120 resistor a 60 ohm resistor and a 40 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a 120 volt power source. what is the current

larisa [96]

Answer:

6 A

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit. The three resistors are connected in parallel, so their equivalent resistance is given by:

$\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}=\frac{1}{120 \Omega}+\frac{1}{60 \Omega}+\frac{1}{40 \Omega}=\frac{3+2+1}{120 \Omega}=\frac{6}{120 \Omega}\\R_T = \frac{120}{6} \Omega$

And now we can use Ohm's law to find the current in the circuit:

$V=R_T II=\frac{V}{R_T}=\frac{120 V}{\frac{120}{6}\Omega}=6 A$

The black lines that wrap themselves around a basketball represent an example of what type of geometry?

Dmitry [639]

In Euclidean geometry parallel lines never intersect. But in non-Euclidean geometry parallel lines can either curve away from each other, or curve towards each other. Example : the black lines that wrap themselves around the basketball.
Answer: B ) non-Euclidean
