Answer:

a. the book is exerting force down on the shelf (due to gravity) while the shelf is exerting force back up at the book.

b. when the soccer player kicks the ball, this is applied force. As the ball soars through the air and lands on the ground, the friction ends the movement of the ball.

c. the compass detects the Earth's natural magnetic feild. This force is non contact, since there is no physical touch between magnetic feilds and the compass.

d. when the child is just sitting on the hill on the sled, this is a contact force. The child is pushing down on the sled and the sled pushes back at the child. When he or she slides off down the hill, this contact force is put to a stop due to friction.

Explanation:

Explanation above for each situation.

Order from biggest to smallest?<br> Milky Way, universe, planets, clusters, and stars
Zinaida [17]
Hello,

The answer is "universe, Milky Way, clusters, stars, planets".

Reason:

The universe would be the biggest because it has all the galaxy's, starts, clusters, and planets into one. Then it would be Milky Way because this is a galaxy that contains: stars, planets, and clusters. Then it would be clusters because that contains stars, or planets in one group. Then be stars because stars are bigger than planets. Then it would be planets. Therefore the order should go like this: <span>Milky Way, universe, planets, clusters, and stars.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!

Which of the following statements is/are true? Check all that apply. A nonconservative force permits a two-way conversion betwee
saul85 [17]

Answer:

A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

The work done by a nonconservative force depends on the path taken.

A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force.

Explanation:

A conservative force is defined as a force whose work done does not depend on the path taken, but only on the initial and final position of motion.

This means that for a conservative force, it is possible to defined a potential energy function U which depends only on the position of the object. An example of conservative force is gravity: the gravitational potential energy of an object, in fact, depends only on its position in the field, not on the path taken.

This behaviour also implies that when an object moves from A to B and then back from B to A, the potential energy gained (or lost) moving from A to B is lost (or re-gained) when moving from B to A. This means that the total mechanical energy (sum of kinetic energy and potential energy) of the object is conserved, and therefore there is a constant conversion between potential and kinetic energy during the motion.

A non-conservative force instead does not show this properties, as the work done by it depends on the path taken, and therefore it is not possible to define a potential energy function. An example of non-conservative force is friction.

According to what we wrote above, therefore, the only correct statements are:

A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

The work done by a nonconservative force depends on the path taken.

A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force.
