Answer:

I can give you a list of noncontact forces off of my head, if that is what you need.

Explanation:

First, gravity. It acts everywhere and pulls down every object that is in the air towards the ground, unless they have an equal and opposite force that counters it.

Second, wind. I don't think this will count because wind is a physical thing, but it can be used in the same way as we did with gravity. If the force counteracting it is larger, equal, and opposite of the force it is countering, then it will move forward, through the wind.

(a) what is the system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated? (select all that apply.)

Leno4ka [110]

since child is moving along with the wagon and we need to find the acceleration of child inside that wagon then in this case the system of interest must be child + wagon

System of interest will be the system that is used to find the force or acceleration using Newton's law

Here we have to assume that system on which if we will calculate the forces then the net value of force on that system will help to calculate the unknown quantities

So here our system will be boy + wagon

A source emits sound uniformly in all directions. There are no reflections of the sound. At a distance of 12 m from the source,

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

1.58 W

Explanation:

Since the sound spreads uniformly in all directions, it must be in a form of a circle with radius of 12 m. So the area of the circle is

$A = \pi r^2 = \pi 12^2 = 452.389 m^2$

From the intensity of the sound we can calculate the power at 12 m

$P = AI = 452.389 * 3.5\times10^{-3} = 1.58 W$

3.00 textbook rests on a frictionless, horizontal tabletop surface. A cord attached to the book passes over a pulley whose diame

sammy [17]

Answer:

a1 = 3.56 m/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of book on horizontal surface; m1 = 3 kg

Mass of hanging book; m2 = 4 kg

Diameter of pulley; D = 0.15 m

Radius of pulley; r = D/2 = 0.15/2 = 0.075 m

Change in displacement; Δx = Δy = 1 m

Time; t = 0.75

I've drawn a free body diagram to depict this question.

Since we want to find the tension of the cord on 3.00 kg book, it means we are looking for T1 as depicted in the FBD attached. T1 is calculated from taking moments about the x-axis to give;

ΣF_x = T1 = m1 × a1

a1 is acceleration and can be calculated from Newton's 2nd equation of motion.

s = ut + ½at²

our s is now Δx and a1 is a.

Thus;

Δx = ut + ½a1(t²)

u is initial velocity and equal to zero because the 3 kg book was at rest initially.

Thus, plugging in the relevant values;

1 = 0 + ½a1(0.75²)

Multiply through by 2;

2 = 0.75²a1

a1 = 2/0.75²

a1 = 3.56 m/s²

A dipole of moment 0.5 e·nm is placed in a uniform electric field with a magnitude of 8 times 104 N/C. What is the magnitude of

Over [174]

Answer:

The net torque is zero

Explanation:

Let's assume that the dipole is compose of two equal but oposite charges e, and it cam be represented by a rod with one end having a charge e and the other end with a charge of -e. Notice that the dipole is parallel to the electric field thus the force felt by both of the charges will be parallel to the electric field. This means that there will be no components of the forces that are perpendicular to the rod which is a requirement for it to have a torque.
