Answer:

Action-at-a-Distance Forces. Frictional Force. Gravitational Force. Tension Force ... The force of gravity on earth is always equal to the weight of the object as ... The friction force is the force exerted by a surface as an object moves across it or ... The force of air resistance is often observed to oppose the motion of an object

Answer:

I believe the answer is gravity.

Explanation:

Because with friction you need to be rubbing multiple object together, in tension two objects must be pulling against each other, and in air resistance the air must be touching the object either pushing or pulling it. While in gravity the mass of an object is pulling another object toward it, the objects don't have to be touching each other making it an at-a-distance force.

On a perfect fall day, you are hovering at low altitude in a hot-air balloon, accelerated neither upward nor downward. The total

Stella [2.4K]

Explanation:

Since the balloon is not accelerating means that the net force on the balloon is zero. This implies that the weight of balloon must be equal to the buoyant force on balloon.

Hence, the buoyant force equals the weight of air displaced by the balloon, also 20,000 N.

Weight of the air displaced = density of air × volume

The density of air at 1 atm pressure and 20º C is 1.2 kg/m³

the volume V = 20,000/(1.2×9.8) = 1700 m³

An observer on Earth sees rocket 1 leave Earth and travel toward Planet X at 0.3c. The observer on Earth also sees that Planet X

Verizon [17]

Answer:

0.625 c

Explanation:

Relative speed of a body may be defined as the speed of one body with respect to some other or the speed of one body in comparison to the speed of second body.

In the context,

The relative speed of body 2 with respect to body 1 can be expressed as :

$u'=\frac{u-v}{1-\frac{uv}{c^2}}$

Speed of rocket 1 with respect to rocket 2 :

$u' = \frac{0.4 c- (-0.3 c)}{1-\frac{(0.4 c)(-0.3 c)}{c^2}}$

$u' = \frac{0.7 c}{1.12}$

$u'=0.625 c$

Therefore, the speed of rocket 1 according to an observer on rocket 2 is 0.625 c

What are some of the useful properties of current electricity?

Elena-2011 [213]

By definition we have to:

The electric current is the flow of electric charge due to the movement (usually of electrons) that a material travels.

Some properties are:

1) Electric conduction: The conductive materials have a large amount of free electrons, therefore, the passage of electricity is possible.

2) The current inside a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit. This is what is known as ohm's law:

$I =\frac{V}{R}$

3) The current can be continuous or alternate.

Alternating current is the electric current in which the magnitude and direction vary cyclically.

The direct current is the flow of electric charges that does not change direction with time.
