Which of these is considered a contact force?

Physics
1 answer:
nexus9112 [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

C -) The friction between an object and air.

Explanation:

The frictional force is the force that exists between two surfaces in contact, which is opposed to the movement.

That is, this type of force exists as long as there is physical contact between surfaces.

While the other types of force always act at a separation distance between bodies.

A car traveling with 500,000 J of kinetic energy is brought to a kinetic energy of
allsm [11]

Answer:

33,333.33 N

Explanation:

Given that :

Initial kinetic energy = 500,000 J

Final kinetic energy = 100,000 J

Using the relation :

Force * time = change in momentum (Newton's law)

Force (F) * 0.12 = (500,000 - 100,000)

0.12F = 400,000 J

Force = (400,000 J) / 0.12s

Force = 33333.333

Force = 33,333.33 N

Three identical very dense masses of 7500 kg each are placed on the x axis. One mass is at x1 = -100 cm , one is at the origin,
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

0.00354 (N)

Explanation:

Convert to metric system:

x_1 = -100 cm = 1 m

x_2 = 420 cm = 4.2 m

Formula for gravitational force:

F_g = G\frac{mM}{s^2}

where s is the distance between 2 bodies masses m and M

Substitute the number to the formula above and since the 2 forces are acting in opposite direction, the total net gravitational force on the mass of origin be:

F_g = F_{g1} - F_{g2}

F_g = G\frac{m_1M}{x_1^2} - G\frac{m_2M}{x_2^2}

F_g = GM(\frac{m_1}{x_1^2} - \frac{m_2}{x_2^2})

F_g = 6.67*10^{-11} * 7500 (\frac{7500}{1^2} - \frac{7500}{4.2^2})

F_g = 5*10^{-7}(7500 - 425.17)

F_g = 5*10^{-7} * 7074.83

F_g = 0.00354 (N)

A small rock is launched straight upward from the surface of a planet with no atmosphere. The initial speed of the rock is twice
Scorpion4ik [409]

If gravitational effects from other objects are negligible, the speed of the rock at a very great distance from the planet will approach a value of \sqrt{3} v_{e}

<u>Explanation:</u>

To express velocity which is too far from the planet and escape velocity by using the energy conservation, we get

Rock’s initial velocity , v_{i}=2 v_{e}. Here the radius is R, so find the escape velocity as follows,

            \frac{1}{2} m v_{e}^{2}-\frac{G M m}{R}=0

            \frac{1}{2} m v_{e}^{2}=\frac{G M m}{R}

            v_{e}^{2}=\frac{2 G M}{R}

            v_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}}

Where, M = Planet’s mass and G = constant.

From given conditions,

Surface potential energy can be expressed as,  U_{i}=-\frac{G M m}{R}

R tend to infinity when far away from the planet, so v_{f}=0

Then, kinetic energy at initial would be,

                  k_{i}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{i}^{2}=\frac{1}{2} m\left(2 v_{e}\right)^{2}

Similarly, kinetic energy at final would be,

                k_{f}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{f}^{2}

Here, v_{f}=\text { final velocity }

Now, adding potential and kinetic energies of initial and final and equating as below, find the final velocity as

                 U_{i}+k_{i}=k_{f}+v_{f}

                 \frac{1}{2} m\left(2 v_{e}\right)^{2}-\frac{G M m}{R}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{f}^{2}+0

                  \frac{1}{2} m\left(2 v_{e}\right)^{2}-\frac{G M m}{R}=\frac{1}{2} m v_{f}^{2}

'm' and \frac{1}{2} as common on both sides, so gets cancelled, we get as

                   4\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}-\frac{2 G M}{R}=v_{f}^{2}

We know, v_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{R}}, it can be wriiten as \left(v_{e}\right)^{2}=\frac{2 G M}{R}, we get

                4\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}-\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}=v_{f}^{2}

                v_{f}^{2}=3\left(v_{e}\right)^{2}

Taking squares out, we get,

                v_{f}=\sqrt{3} v_{e}
