From the word "contact" clearly defines it as touch. three types of forces: contact - field - electro-static. thus the answer is C : Jamie hd to touch the book to move it'

Explanation :

Contact forces are the forces that act between the objects that are in contact.

When James pushes a book off a table, the push is an example of a contact force. This is because Jamie had to touch the book to move it. For experiencing a contact force, there should be contact between two objects.

The examples of contact forces are the frictional force, tension force, normal force etc.

While gravitational force, electric force and the magnetic force are non contact force.

So, the correct option is (B) " Jamie had to touch the book to move it ".

In a semiclassical model of the hydrogen atom, the electron orbits the proton at a distance of 0.053 nm. Part A What is the elec

Bezzdna [24]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

$r=0.053 nm=0.053\times 10^{-9} m$

$1 nm=10^{-9} m$

Charge on proton,q= $1.6\times 10^{-19} C$

a.We have to find the electric potential of the proton at the position of the electron.

We know that the electric potential

$V=\frac{kq}{r}$

Where $k=9\times 10^9$

$V=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.053\times 10^{-9}}$

$V=27.17 V$

B.Potential energy of electron,U= $\frac{kq_e q_p}{r}$

Where

$q_e=-1.6\times 10^{-19} c=$ Charge on electron

$q_p=q=1.6\times 10^{-19} C$ =Charge on proton

Using the formula

$U=\frac{9\times 10^9\times (-1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.053\times 10^{-9}}$

$U=-4.35\times 10^{-18} J$

In Paul Hewitt's book, he poses this question: "If the forces that act on a bullet and the recoiling gun from which it is fired

Sauron [17]

They have different accelerations because of their masses. According to Newton's Second Law, an objects acceleration is inversely proportional to its mass. Therefore the object with the larger mass, in this case the gun, will have a smaller acceleration. In the same way, the less massive object, being the bullet, will have a higher acceleration.

Hope this helps :)

A seasoned mini golfer is trying to make par on a tricky number five hole. The golfer can complete the hole by hitting the ball

liberstina [14]

Answer:5.17 m/s

Explanation:

Given

let u be the speed at cliff initial point

range over cliff is 1.45 m

and range of projectile is given by

$R=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}$

$1.45=\frac{u^2\sin 90}{9.8}$

u=3.77 m/s

Conserving Energy

$E_{bottom}=E_{initial\ point\ at\ cliff}$

Kinetic energy=Kinetic energy +Potential energy gained

Let v be the initial velocity

$\frac{mv^2}{2}=mgh+\frac{mu^2}{2}$

$v^2=u^2+2gh$

$v=\sqrt{u^2+2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{3.77^2+2\time 9.8\times 0.64}$

$v=\sqrt{26.75}=5.17 m/s$
