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 ".

You have a light spring which obeys Hooke's law. This spring stretches 2.92 cm vertically when a 2.70 kg object is suspended fro
ehidna [41]

(a) 907.5 N/m

The force applied to the spring is equal to the weight of the object suspended on it, so:

F=mg=(2.70 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=26.5 N

The spring obeys Hook's law:

F=k\Delta x

where k is the spring constant and \Delta x is the stretching of the spring. Since we know \Delta x=2.92 cm=0.0292 m, we can re-arrange the equation to find the spring constant:

k=\frac{F}{\Delta x}=\frac{26.5 N}{0.0292 m}=907.5 N/m

(b) 1.45 cm

In this second case, the force applied to the spring will be different, since the weight of the new object is different:

F=mg=(1.35 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=13.2 N

So, by applying Hook's law again, we can find the new stretching of the spring (using the value of the spring constant that we found in the previous part):

\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}=\frac{13.2 N}{907.5 N/m}=0.0145 m=1.45 cm

(c) 3.5 J

The amount of work that must be done to stretch the string by a distance \Delta x is equal to the elastic potential energy stored by the spring, given by:

W=U=\frac{1}{2}k\Delta x^2

Substituting k=907.5 N/m and \Delta x=8.80 cm=0.088 m, we find the amount of work that must be done:

W=\frac{1}{2}(907.5 N/m)(0.088 m)^2=3.5 J

A light ray strikes a plane mirror at an angle of 23° to the normal. What is the angle between the reflected ray and the mirror?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:67^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given

Ray of light incident on plane making an angle of 23^{\circ} with normal

Thus incident angle i=23^{\circ}

So according to the law of incidence is equal to angle of reflection

\angle i=\angle r

thus \angle r=23^{\circ}

and angle between mirror and reflected ray =90^{\circ}-23^{\circ}

=67^{\circ}
