What is the difference between contact and action-at-a-distance forces?

Physics
1 answer:
Amiraneli [1.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A

Contact forces are forces that require the actual contact (touching) of two pieces of matter. ... A field force is a force that works at a distance. No touching is required. Gravity is a good example of a field force, because it works whether or not an object is touching something or touching nothing at all.

suppose the same amount of heat is applied to two bars. they have the same mass, but experience different changes in temperature
Andreyy89

If both bars are made of a good conductor, then their specific heat capacities must be different. If both are metals, specific heat capacities of different metals can vary by quite a bit, eg, both are in kJ/kgK, Potassium is 0.13, and Lithium is very high at 3.57 - both of these are quite good conductors.

If one of the bars is a good conductor and the other is a good insulator, then, after the surface application of heat, the temperatures at the surfaces are almost bound to be different. This is because the heat will be rapidly conducted into the body of the conducting bar, soon achieving a constant temperature throughout the bar. Whereas, with the insulator, the heat will tend to stay where it's put, heating the bar considerably over that area. As the heat slowly conducts into the bar, it will also start to cool from its surface, because it's so hot, and even if it has the same heat capacity as the other bar, which might be possible, it will eventually reach a lower, steady temperature throughout.

Need help y’all ASAP please...physics
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

t = 3/8 seconds

Explanation:

h=-16t^2 - 10t+6

h= 0 when it hits the ground

0=-16t^2 - 10t+6

factor out a -2

0= -2(8t^2 +5t -3)

divide by -2

0 = (8t^2 +5t -3)

factor

0=(8t-3) (t+1)

using the zero product property

8t-3 = 0    t+1 =0

8t = 3         t= -1

t = 3/8     t= -1

t cannot be negative  ( no negative time)

t = 3/8 seconds

If Faraday had used a more powerful battery in his experiments with electromagnetic induction, what effect would this have had o
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The value of current generated would increase.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic induction is the process by which an electromotive force is induced due to a variation of magnetic field.

The induced current is directly proportional to rate at which the coil cuts the magnetic field. Using more powerful battery in the experiment would increase the rate at the the coil cuts the magnetic field, therefore increasing the rate of variation in the magnetic field. This effect would cause a greater deflection on the galvanometer's scale, showing an increase in the current generated.

This experiment proves that an alternating current can be produced from magnetic field.

A bicycle racer inflates their tires to 7.1 atm on a warm autumn afternoon when temperatures reached 27 °C. By morning the tempe
natulia [17]

Answer:

The required pressure is 6.4866 atm.

Explanation:

The given data : -

In the afternoon.

Initial pressure of tire ( p₁ ) = 7 atm = 7 * 101.325 Kpa =  709.275 Kpa

Initial temperature ( T₁ ) = 27°C = (27 + 273) K = 300 K

In the morning .

Final temperature ( T₂ ) = 5°C = ( 5 + 273 ) K = 278 K

Given that volume remains constant.

To find final pressure ( p₂ ).

Applying the ideal gas equation.

p * v = m * R * T

\frac{p}{T}  = constant

\frac{p_{1} }{T_{1} }  = \frac{p_{2} }{T_{2} }

p_{2}  = \frac{T_{2} }{T_{1} } *p_{1}  

p_{2}  = \frac{278}{300}  * 709.275  = 657.2615 Kpa = 6.486 atm

At its closest approach, a moon comes within 200,000 km of the planet it orbits. At that point, the moon is 300,000 km from the
krok68 [10]

Answer:

s₁ = 240,000 km

Explanation:

The distance between both the focuses f₁ and f₂ will be the sum of distances of the moon from each focus at a given point. Therefore,

s = s₁ + s₂

where,

s = total distance between the focuses = ?

s₁ = distance between f1 and moon = 200,000 km

s₂ = distance between f₂ and moon = 300,000 km

Therefore,

s = 200,000 km + 300,000 km

s = 500,000 km

Now, when the distance from f₂ becomes 260,000 km, then the distance from f₁(planet) will become:

s = s₁ + s₂

500,000 km = s₁ + 260,000 km

s₁ = 500,000 km - 260,000 km

<u>s₁ = 240,000 km</u>
