Name one contact force and one force that acts through a force field

nirvana33 [79]

A contact force is a type of force which act on an object by coming in contact with the object. Examples of contact force that acts through a force field are: applied force, frictional force, air resistance force, tension, spring force, etc.
Examples of forces that act through a force field are gravitational force, electromagnetic force, the weak interaction and the strong interaction.

One way to measure g on another planet or moon by remote sensing is to measure how long it takes an object to fall a given dista

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

(a) 0.94 m/s²

(b) g (planet) = 0.096g

Explanation:

(a)

From Newton's equation of motion,

S = ut + 1/2gt²......................... equation 1

Making g the subject of equation 1

g =( S - ut)/t² ........................ equation 2

Where s = distance ( m), u = initial velocity (m/s), t = time (s), g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

From the question, S = 12.02 m, t = 3.58 s, u= 0 ( at rest),

Substituting these values in equation 2

g = {12.02 -(0×3.58)}/3.58²

g = (12.02)/12.82

g = 0.94 m/s²

∴ The acceleration due to gravity on the planet = 0.94 m/s²

(b) g (planet)/g (earth) = 0.94/9.80

g (planet) = 0.096 g (earth).

The acceleration due to gravity of the planet in terms of the earth g is

g (planet) = 0.096g

Please help.. urgent Which statement is equivalent to Newton's first law? a. 15,300 N b. 1.20*10^3 N c. 2,030 N d. 1,560 N

taurus [48]

According to Newton laws of motion,
F = m*a
Here, m = 1,560 Kg
a = 1.30 m/s²

Substitute their values,
F = 1,560 * 1.30
F = 2028 N ~ 2030 N [ Closest value ]

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!

If the frequency of a wave is 400hz and it’s wave length is2.5 what is the velocity ?

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

To begin with, we can use the formula that links frequency, wavelength and velocity.

Because you already have the wavelength and the frequency, you just need to solve for velocity. You can do this by multiplying each side of the equation by frequency.

Therefore, 400 x 2.5 = 1000m/s.

Hope this helps :)
