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.

An object is dropped onto the moon (gm = 5 ft/s2). How long does it take to fall from an elevation of 250 ft.?

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

10 seconds

Explanation:

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

250 = 0 + (0) t + ½ (5) t²

250 = 2.5 t²

t² = 100

t = 10

It takes 10 seconds to land from a height of 250 ft.

inna [77]

Answer:

a) T=1.35s

b) amplitude = 0.0923m

Explanation:

m=300 gr

k=6.5 N/m

first we need to get the angular frequency of the motion

so we have that

ω = √(k/m)

in this case motion is a simple harmonic so the period is defined by:

T= 2π / ω

T= 2π / √(k/m)

replacing the variables...

T= 2π / √(6.5/0.3)

T=1.35s (period of the block's motion)

and...

α max = | ω²r max |

2 = (2π/1.35)² * r max

r max= 0.0923m

Determine the wavelength of incident electromagnetic radiation required to cause an electron transition from the n = 5 to the n

ollegr [7]

The correct answer is: wavelength = 4562 nm

Explanation:

Rydberg's formula is given as:
$\frac{1}{\lambda} = R[ \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} ]$ --- (1)

Where
R = Rydberg's constant = 1.096 * 10^7 per meter
$n_1$ = 5
$n_2$ = 7

λ = Wavelength

Plug in the values in (1):

(1)=> $\frac{1}{\lambda} = (1.096 * 10^7)[ \frac{1}{5^2} - \frac{1}{7^2} ]$

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = (1.096 * 10^7)[ 0.04 - 0.020 ] \\ \lambda = \frac{1}{(1.096 * 10^7)[0.020 ]} \\ \lambda = 4562 nm$
