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.

What is the change in length of a 1400. m steel, (12x10^-6)/(C0) , pipe for a temperature change of 250.0 degrees Celsius? Remem

8090 [49]

Answer:

$\Delta L = 4.2 m$

Explanation:

As per the formula of thermal expansion we know that

$L = L_o(1 + \alpha\Delta T)$

so here we will have

$L_o = 1400 m$

$\alpha = 12 \times 10^{-6} per ^oC$

$\Delta T = 250 degree C$

so here change in the length of the rod is given as

$\Delta L = L - L_o$

$\Delta L = L_o \alpha \Delta T$

$\Delta L = 1400 (12 \times 10^{-6})(250)$

$\Delta L = 4.2 m$

A quarter is flipped from a height of 1.45 m above the ground. How much time will it take to reach the ground if the person flip

Artemon [7]

It will take the quarter 0.151 seconds to reach the ground.

Given the following data:

Height = 1.45 meters

Initial velocity = 10.32 m/s

We know that acceleration due to gravity (a) for an object is equal to 9.8 meter per seconds square.

To find how much time it will take the quarter to reach the ground, we would use the second equation of motion.

Mathematically, the second equation of motion is given by the formula;

$S = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

Where:

S is the height or distance covered.

u is the initial velocity.

a is the acceleration.

t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

$1.45 = 10.32(t) + \frac{1}{2} (9.8)t^2\\\\1.45 = 10.32t + 4.9t^2\\\\4.9t^2 + 10.32t - 1.45 = 0$

The standard form of a quadratic equation is:

$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$

a = 4.9, b = 10.32 and c = 1.45

We would solve the above quadratic equation by using the quadratic equation formula;

$x = \frac{-b\; \pm \;\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

Substituting the values, we have;

$t = \frac{-10.32\; \pm \;\sqrt{10.32^2\; - \;4(4.9)(1.45)}}{2(4.9)}\\\\t = \frac{-10.32\; \pm \;\sqrt{106.5024\; - \;28.42}}{9.8}\\\\t = \frac{-10.32\; \pm \;\sqrt{78.0824}}{9.8}\\\\t = \frac{-10.32\; \pm \;8.84}{9.8}\\\\t = \frac{-10.32\; + \;8.84}{9.8}\\\\t = \frac{1.48}{9.8}$

Time, t = 0.151 seconds.

Therefore, it will take the quarter 0.151 seconds to reach the ground.

Min is asked to balance the equation below.

Minchanka [31]

It is incorrect, because the identity of the original product has changed. Ca3(OH)2 does not exist! It is no longer calcium hydroxide. To balance an equation, you must manipulate the coefficients, a.k.a. the big numbers that go before reactants or products. Subscripts, the little numbers inside the reactants or products, cannot be changed without completely changing the substance.

How is it possible for one electrically neutral atom to exert an electrostatic force on other electrically neutral atom?

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Although Atom are electrically neutral. But atom atom is combination of nucleus and electrons. The nucleus of the atom is composed neutron and positively charged protons. On the outside of nucleus at some distance are the electrons which are negatively charged. So, there is difference in position of the two differently charge species. So, this way a electrically neutral atom can exert a electrostatic force on other electrically neutral atom
