How many cm is one newton?
a Newton is a measure of force, not distance. They are incompatible
Is friction a non contact force?
Because it is two surfaces rubbing against each other, in this case it creates heat and possibly static electricity. To touch; contact. If two surfaces rub against each other forcefully this is a contact force.
Is air resistance a contact or non contact force?
Air resistance is a contact force because you are in contact with the air in order to apply that force.
What are the types of contact forces?
Contact Forces include: Frictional Force Tension Force Normal Force Air Resistance Force Applied Force Spring Force
Using a force to move an object across a distance is?
When using a force to move an object across a distance...it produces an acceleration. If you are looking for the force, you must first find the acceleration. a=F/M Once you have found the acceleration then you can find the force. F=ma ( force =mass x acceleration)
Magnetism is a contact force because magnets make contact true or false?
No. It is false statement. Magnetic force is a non-contact force
Electric force is a contact force or force at a distance?
electrostatic force is not a contact force it is force at a distance likely to that of gravitational force.
Why is gravity a noncontact force?
That simply means that it requires no contact between the objects to act.
A curling rock slides to a stop due to the force of friction Is this force of frictiion a contact force or a force at a distance?
The force of friction is a contact force. An example of a force at a distance would be gravity.
Is gravitational force contact force or non contact force?
Gravitational force acts even if the 2 bodies are not in contact. It is a large distance force.
Is gravity contact to force?
Gravity requires no direct contact, if that's what you mean.
Difference between contact force and those actata a distance?
Contact force means that objects need to be in contact for there to be a force. "Action at a distance" means the objects do NOT need to touch one another directly.
What are contact and and non contact forces?
A non-contact force is any force applied to an object by another body that is not in direct contact with it. The most common example of a non-contact force is gravity. A non-contact force is different from a contact force, which is a force applied to a body by another body that is in contact with it. However it is to be noted that the origin of all contact forces can be traced to non-contact forcesIn physics, a contact force is a force between two objects (or an object and a surface) that are in contact with each other. This is distinct from a non-contact force, or action-at-a-distance force (a force that acts over a distance), such as gravity or magnetic attraction/repulsion.
Is friction is a non-contact force?
a contact force requires two bodies to either touch each other(are in contact) or are interacting through a medium(rope, pole). example of contact force is friction.
Why gravity force a noncontact force?
That simply means that it requires no contact between the objects to act.
Is gravity considered a contact force because it acts on objects directly?
Gravity is action at a distance, a non contact force
Is electro static a contact or a non contact force?
Electrostatic forces work at a distance. Non contact.
