Answer:

False

Explanation:

The given statement "Two objects must be in contact for them to exert a force on each other" is not true as there are many types of forces that doesn't require being in contact for exerting a force.

One such example is the gravitational force acting between two bodies. Gravitational force is the force of pull with which a body pulls another body without being in contact.

For two bodies of masses 'M' and 'm' separated at a distance of 'R', the gravitational force is given as:

$Force=\frac{GMm}{R^2}\\Where,G\to \textrm{Universal Gravitational constant}$

The gravitational force acts always act between bodies that have mass. The bodies are not in contact yet experience force.

Therefore, the given statement is false.

A 1.50-mm-diameter glass sphere has a charge of + 1.60 nC. What speed does an electron need to orbit the sphere 1.60 mm above th

saveliy_v [14]

Answer :

Velocity will be $3.28\times 10^{-11}m/sec$

Explanation:

We have given glass surface has a diameter of 1.5 mm

And charge q = 1.60 nC

Radius of electrons orbit r = height of electron above surface + radius of sphere = $=1.6+\frac{1.5}{2}=2.35mm = 0.00235m$

Force on electron is given by $F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{qe}{r^2}$ , here q is charge on sphere and e is charge on electron

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{qe}{r^2}=\frac{kqe}{r^2}=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-9}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.00235^2}=4.172\times 10^{-13}N$

This force work as centripetal force

So $F=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$4.172\times 10^{-13}=\frac{9.11\times 10^{-31}v^2}{0.00235}$

v = $=0.0328\times 10^{-9}=3.28\times 10^{-11}m/sec$

Do you get this ?????

The first one is actually 10 times as big as the second one.

Because of their places, the first one means 6000, and the second one means 600.

The mass of a moving object increases, but its speed stays the same. What happens to the kinetic energy of the object as a resul

Ronch [10]

We Know, K.E. = 1/2 × m × v²
From the expression, we can conclude that Kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass. So, as mass will increase, Kinetic energy will also increase.

In short, Your Correct answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!

Ajoba and Prav drive to work. Ajoba drives 45 miles in 2.5 hours. Prav drives 74 km in 1 hour 15 min. Work out the difference be

Serggg [28]

Explanation:

We have,

Ajoba and Prav drive to work. Ajoba drives 45 miles in 2.5 hours. Prav drives 74 km in 1 hour 15 min.

1 mile = 1.6 km

45 miles = 72.42 km

74 miles = 119.0 km

1 hour 15 min means 1.25 hours
