Classify the following situations into contact and non-contact forces.

Physics
1 answer:
NARA [144]2 years ago
8 0

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.

Nonmetals in the periodic table have a negative oxidation number. Which statement best explains why?
Tema [17]
They have a negative oxidation number because nonmetals gain electrons, thus making them negatively charged ions (anions). Metals become cations and have a positive charge because they lose electrons.

The planet Saturn has a mass that is 95 times Earth's mass and a radius that is 9.4 times Earth's radius. What is the accelerati
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

10.55111 m/s²

Explanation:

M = Mass of Saturn = 95\times 5.972\times 10^{24}\ kg

r = Radius of Saturn = 9.4\times 6.371\times 10^6\ m

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Acceleration due to gravity is given by

g=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 95\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{(9.4\times 6.371\times 10^6)^2}\\\Rightarrow g=10.55111\ m/s^2

The acceleration due to gravity on Saturn is 10.55111 m/s²

How can a magnetic field be produced, using a wire, a battery, and and a nail?
Aleks [24]
It is fairly easy to build an electromagnet. All you need to do is wrap some insulated copper wire around an iron core. If you attach a battery to the wire, an electric current will begin to flow and the iron core will become magnetized. When the battery is disconnected, the iron core will lose its magnetism. Follow these steps.
Step 1 - Gather the Materials
One iron nail fifteen centimeters (6 in) long
Three meters (10 ft) of 22 gauge insulated, stranded copper wire
One or more D-cell batteries
Step 2 - Remove some Insulation
Step 3 - Wrap the Wire Around the Nail
Step 4 - Connect the Battery

Infer whether a system can have kinetic energy and potential energy at the same time
Rasek [7]
Yes, an object can have both of these at the same time. Potential energy is energy that is stored in an object. Kinetic energy is the energy that is associated with motion. So what you have to have is an object that is in motion but still has more energy that it has yet to convert into kinetic energy.
