Answer:

D. gravity is a non-contact force

Explanation:

Gravitational force acts between two bodies having mass. The force is attractive in nature and is independent of the mass of the bodies. Thus, gravity can pull objects towards each other.

The magnitude of this force depends on the mass of the two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

It is a non-contact force. So, to describe gravity, force fields are necessary. Force fields are used to describe non-contact forces- force on any body at any point in space.

Thus, correct option is D.

A vinyl record is played by rotating the record so that an approximately circular groove in the vinyl slides under a stylus. Bum

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Hits per second=199 hit/s

Explanation:

#Given the angular velocity, $\omega=33\frac{1}{3} rev/min$ , radius of the record $r=0.1m$ and the distance between any two successive bumps on the groove as $d=1.75mm$ .

The linear speed of the record in meters per second is:

$v=\omega r=33\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{2\pi}{60}\times 10\times 10^{_2}\\\\=0.3843m/s\\$

#From $v$ above, if the bumps are uniformly separated by 1m, then the rate at which they hit the stylus is:

$Hits/second=v/d \ \ \ \ d=1.75mm\\\\=0.3483/0.000175\\\\=199.0385714\approx 199$

Hence the bumps hit the stylus at around 199hit/s

Where does the engery of an earthquake originate

allochka39001 [22]

From convection of magma under the earths crust makes the plates slowly move and as they move over time they build up potential energy from the different plates grinding against each other and after so long the plates will lose there grip on each other and release the potential energy they've been building up for so long as kinetic energy causing what you know as an earthquake hope this helps please give brainliest

A ball is dropped from rest at the top of a 6.10 m

natita [175]

Answer:

n = 5 approx

Explanation:

If v be the velocity before the contact with the ground and v₁ be the velocity of bouncing back

$\frac{v_1}{v}$ = e ( coefficient of restitution ) = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{10} }$

and

$\frac{v_1}{v} = \sqrt{\frac{h_1}{6.1} }$

h₁ is height up-to which the ball bounces back after first bounce.

From the two equations we can write that

$e = \sqrt{\frac{h_1}{6.1} }$

$e = \sqrt{\frac{h_2}{h_1} }$

So on

$e^n = \sqrt{\frac{h_1}{6.1} }\times \sqrt{\frac{h_2}{h_1} }\times... \sqrt{\frac{h_n}{h_{n-1} }$

$(\frac{1}{\sqrt{10} })^n=\frac{2.38}{6.1}$ = .00396

Taking log on both sides

- n / 2 = log .00396

n / 2 = 2.4

n = 5 approx

Two resistors of 15 and 30 ω are connected in parallel. if the combination is connected in series with a 9. 0-v battery and a 20

Stels [109]

Resistors Working Together.

Resistors are shown coupled in parallel to a voltage source in Figure 10.3.4. When all of the resistors' ends are connected to one another by a continuous wire of minimal resistance and their other ends are also connected to one another by a continuous wire of minimal resistance, the resistors are said to be in parallel. There is a constant potential drop across all resistors. Ohm's law, I=V/R, can be used to determine the current flowing through each resistor while the voltage is constant across each resistor. For instance, the headlights, radio, and other components of an automobile are linked in parallel so that each subsystem can use the entire voltage of the source and function independently. The wiring in your home or any other structure shares the same

The original circuit is shown in part a with two parallel resistors linked to a voltage source, and the equivalent circuit is shown in part b with one equivalent resistor connected to the voltage source.

How much power is required to lift a 60 kg bed to the top of a 3 meter flight of stairs in 10 seconds?

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

176.58Watts

Explanation:

Power= work done /time

Where mass(m)=60kg

Height (h) =3m

Time(s)=10s

Force of gravity = 9.81m/s^2

Power=mgh/t

Power= (60kg) * (9.81m/s^2) * (3m)/10s

Power= 176.58Watts
