Answer: Contact force

a. Applying break in a vehicle.

d. The speed of ball rolling on ground is reduced

Non contact force

b. A coconut falling from a coconut tree.

c. The planets revolving around the sun.

Explanation:

The contact force is the force which exerts when one object or entity comes in contact with other object or entity. For example, on application of break the vehicle stops, the force is applied on the breaks to stop the vehicle. The ball rolling on the ground the speed reduces so the application of force on the ground also reduces.

The non contact force is the force one object exerts on the other without coming in direct contact with the other object. The force exerted by one object on other due to gravity is a non contact force. The coconut falling on the ground and planets revolving around the sun are examples of non contact force due to gravity.

1. Why is the theory that all things are made up of atoms a theory and not a fact?

steposvetlana [31]

Because there is no record of all things. As we have partially unknow information, it can never be held as a fact.

A motorcycle is traveling up one side of a hill and down the other side. The crest of the hill is a circular arc with a radius o

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

21.8 m/s

Explanation:

At the top of the hill (crest), there are two forces acting on the motorcycle:

- The reaction force of the road, N (upward)

- The force of gravity, mg (downward)

Since the motorcycle is moving by circular motion, the resultant of these forces will give the centripetal force, so:

$mg-N = m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where the direction of the weight (mg) is equal to that of the centripetal force, and where

m is the mass of the cycle

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

v is the speed

r = 48.6 is the radius of the hill

The cycle loses contact with the road when the reaction force becomes zero:

N = 0

Substituting into the equation, we therefore find the maximum speed that is allowed for the cycle before losing constact:

$mg = m\frac{v^2}{r}\\v=\sqrt{gr}=\sqrt{(9.8)(48.6)}=21.8 m/s$

A 25.0 g marble sliding to the right at 20.0 cm/s overtakes and collides elastically with a 10.0 g marble moving in the same dir

vovikov84 [41]

In collision that are categorized as elastic, the total kinetic energy of the system is preserved such that,

KE1 = KE2

The kinetic energy of the system before the collision is solved below.

KE1 = (0.5)(25)(20)² + (0.5)(10g)(15)²
KE1 = 6125 g cm²/s²

This value should also be equal to KE2, which can be calculated using the conditions after the collision.

KE2 = 6125 g cm²/s² = (0.5)(10)(22.1)² + (0.5)(25)(x²)

The value of x from the equation is 17.16 cm/s.

Hence, the answer is 17.16 cm/s.
