The contact force acts on two surfaces contact when they are touching each other.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

A contact force, the force exerted between two bodies in contact with each other. This force depends on the mass of the object. The more the mass of an object, the more the contact force exerted through it.

The contact force can either be continuous or impulsive. There are primarily three types of contact force- frictional, Applied and the Normal Force. Some basic and daily examples of contact force includes writing with a pen, a book placed on a shelf, hammering a nail, kicking a ball, etc.

Gold is used to make a super thin layer on the visors of astronauts' helmets because of which property in particular?
denis-greek [22]

Answer: C. good reflector of heat

Explanation:

In space, sunlight transfers heat by radiation to objects and bodies and this includes satellites and astronauts. In addition, although the peak of the sun's emission is in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum, a part is also emitted in infrared (transferring thermal energy or heat) and ultraviolet (especially in the upper part of the Earth's atmosphere).

That is why in space missions, objects and many satellites are covered by thin layers or sheets that reflect this thermal energy and thus avoid damaging the equipment due to high temperatures.

In this sense, among the reflective materials used are aluminum, silver, copper and gold; the latter being the most used because it does not corrode or oxidize (unlike silver and copper) and is more malleable than aluminum.

On the other hand, <u>astronauts are also vulnerable to the effects of infrared radiation, especially their eyes</u>, since the human eye has no receptors in the infrared spectrum. <u>That is why the astronaut's helmet visor is covered with a thin layer of gold to avoid the dangerous effects of solar radiation.</u>

A 68.2 kg base runner begins his slide into second base while moving at a speed of 4.33 m/s. He slides so that his speed is zero
qwelly [4]

Answer:

147.653J = W_f

Explanation:

We know that:

E_i - E_f = W_f

where E_i is the initial energy, E_f is the final energy and W_f is the energy lost due to friction.

so:

\frac{1}{2}MV^2-0 = W_f

Where M is the mass and V is the velocity of the runner, so:

\frac{1}{2}(68.2kg)(4.33m/s)^2 = W_f

147.653J = W_f
