Gravity is a non-contact force.
Vadim26 [7]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Hurricane sandy produced some of the greatest destruction along the new jersey coast in communities situated along narrow strips
FrozenT [24]

The correct answer to fill in the blank would be:

“a barrier island”

Barrier islands are coastal landforms and a category of dune system that are remarkably even or lumpy areas of sand that was formed by wave and tidal actions that are parallel to the mainland coast. Due to this feature, there are no enough sand blockades to minimize the destruction by Hurricane Sandy.

The brakes of a 125 kg sled are applied while it is moving at 8.1 m/s, which exerts a force of 261 N to slow the sled down. How
sammy [17]

Answer:

15.7 m

Explanation:

m = mass of the sled = 125 kg

v₀ = initial speed of the sled = 8.1 m/s

v = final speed of sled = 0 m/s

F = force applied by the brakes in opposite direction of motion = 261

d = stopping distance for the sled

Using work-change in kinetic energy theorem

- F d = (0.5) m (v² - v₀²)

- (261) d = (0.5) (125) (0² - 8.1²)

d = 15.7 m
