What is the difference between contact forces and forces that act through a force field?

1 answer:

8 0

Contact forces are forces that occur when two objects make contact, ex. Frictional Force. Non-contact forces occur without contact, ex. Gravitational Force or Electric Force.

If two equal charges are separated by a certain distance, the force of repulsion is F. Given F1, if each charge in F1 is doubled

Alisiya [41]

Answer: $F_2=16\times F_1$

Explanation:

Given

Force of repulsion between two charge particle is given by force F

Electrostatic force is given by

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

where $q_1$ and $q_2$ is the charges of particle

r=distance between charge particle

$=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}$ when charges are doubled and distance is reduced to half

i.e. q become 2 q and r becomes 0.5 r

$F_2=\frac{k(2q)^2}{(0.5r)^2}$

$F_2=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}\times 4\times 4$

$F_2=16\times F_1$

A baseball is hit into the air with a velocity of 27 m/s. How high does it go?

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

If a baseball is hit into the air with a velocity of 27 m/s, we want to determine the maximum height of the ball. Using the projecile formula;

Max height H = u²/2g

u is the initial velocity of the body = 27m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

H = 27²/2(9.81)

H = 729/19.62

H = 37.16m

Hence the ball went 37.16m high

You are trying to overhear a juicy conversation, but from your distance of 24.0m , it sounds like only an average whisper of 40.

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The distance is $r_2 = 0.24 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance from the conversation is $r_1 = 24.0 \ m$

The intensity of the sound at your position is $\beta _1 = 40 dB$

The intensity at the sound at the new position is $\beta_2 = 80.0dB$

Generally the intensity in decibel is is mathematically represented as

$\beta = 10dB log_{10}[\frac{d}{d_o} ]$

The intensity is also mathematically represented as

$d = \frac{P}{A}$

$\beta = 10dB * log_{10}[\frac{P}{A* d_o} ]$

=> $\frac{\beta}{10} = log_{10} [\frac{P}{A (l_o)} ]$

From the logarithm definition

=> $\frac{P}{A * d_o} = 10^{\frac{\beta}{10} }$

=> $P = A (d_o ) [10^{\frac{\beta }{ 10} } ]$

Here P is the power of the sound wave

and A is the cross-sectional area of the sound wave which is generally in spherical form

Now the power of the sound wave at the first position is mathematically represented as

$P_1 = A_1 (d_o ) [10^{\frac{\beta_1 }{ 10} } ]$

Now the power of the sound wave at the second position is mathematically represented as

$P_2 = A_2 (d_o ) [10^{\frac{\beta_2 }{ 10} } ]$

Generally power of the wave is constant at both positions so

$A_1 (d_o ) [10^{\frac{\beta_1 }{ 10} } ] = A_2 (d_o ) [10^{\frac{\beta_2 }{ 10} } ]$

$4 \pi r_1 ^2 [10^{\frac{\beta_1 }{ 10} } ] = 4 \pi r_2 ^2 [10^{\frac{\beta_2 }{ 10} } ]$

$r_2 = \sqrt{r_1 ^2 [\frac{10^{\frac{\beta_1}{10} }}{ 10^{\frac{\beta_2}{10} }} ]}$

substituting value

$r_2 = \sqrt{ 24^2 [\frac{10^{\frac{ 40}{10} }}{10^{\frac{80}{10} }} ]}$

$r_2 = 0.24 \ m$
