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.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: 12Mg/h

Explanation:

Let the spring is compressed by a distance x,before the lift stops,then

Mg(h+x)= 1/2 kx^2 ............... 1

Kx - Mg = M ( 5g ) ............ 2

Make x the subject in equation 2

Kx = 5Mg + Mg

Kx = 6Mg

x = 6Mg/k ............ 3

Put equation 3 into 1

Mg ( h + x ) = 1/2 kx^2

Mgh + Mgx = 1/2kx^2

Mgh + Mg × 6Mg/k = 1/2k × ( 6Mg/k )^2

Mgh + Mg× 6Mg/k = 1/2k 36M^2g^2/ k^2

h =18Mg/k - 6Mg/h

K = 12Mg/h

An athlete completes 1 laps around a track with a radius of 25 meters in 180 seconds. What is the magnitude of the athlete's tan
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

0.872<em>m/s</em>

Explanation:

Tangential velocity is given by the formula,

v= 2\pi r/ t

In the question given,

radius= 25meters

time= 180secs

pie= 3.14

number of laps= 1

The magnitude of tangential velocity equals;

\frac{1lap* 2 *3.14 *25m}{180secs}

<em>v </em>= 157<em>m</em>/180<em>secs</em>

Therefore, the magnitude of the tangential velocity

=0.872<em>m/secs</em>

Determine the density of a rectangular piece of concrete that measures 3.7 cm by 2.1 cm by 5.8 cm and has a mass of 43.8 grams.
Novay_Z [31]
It is customary to work in SI units.

Calculate the volume of the concrete.
V = 3.7*2.1*5.8 cm³ = 45.066 cm³ = 45.066 x 10 ⁻⁶ m³

The mass is  43.8 g = 43.8 x 10⁻³ kg

The density is mass/volume.
Density = (43.8 x 10⁻³ kg)/(45.066 x 10⁻⁶ m³) = 971.9 kg/m³

Answer: 971.9 kg/m³

Two forces, F⃗ 1F→1F_1_vec and F⃗ 2F→2F_2_vec, act at a point. F⃗ 1F→1F_1_vec has a magnitude of 9.20 NN and is directed at an a
marishachu [46]

Answer:

-9.46 N

Explanation:

In order to get the value of the x component of the resultant force, we need to get the value of the x component of each force.

This value will be the projection of the force vector, on the x-axis.

For F₁, as it is directed at an angle of 55.0º above the negative x axis, we can find F₁ₓ just applying the definition of cosine of an angle, as follows:

cos θ = \frac{x}{r}

In this case, x = F₁ₓ, and r = F₁

θ, measured from the positive x axis counterclockwise, is as follows:

θ= 180º-55º = 125º

⇒ F₁ₓ = F₁* cosθ = 9.2 N * cos 125º = -5.28 N

We can repeat the process for F₂, as follows:

For F₂, as it is directed at an angle of 53.3º below the negative x axis, we can find F₂ₓ just applying the definition of cosine of an angle, as follows:

cos θ = \frac{x}{r}

In this case, x = F₂ₓ, and r = F₂

θ, measured from the positive x axis counterclockwise, is as follows:

θ= 180º + 53.3º = 233.3º

⇒ F₂ₓ = F₂* cosθ = 7.00 N * cos 233.3º = -4.18 N

The total component of both forces along the x axis, can be found just adding both components, as follows:

Fₓ = F₁ₓ + F₂ₓ = -5.28 N + -4.18 N = -9.46 N
