Is gravity a solid? Physical collisions of solid objects is not the only way that forces can act on solid objects.

A magnetic interaction only occurs if the interacting objects are touching?

False. Magnetic interactions can occur even when the interacting objects are not touching. Magnetic fields can exert forces on objects at a distance, such as between a magnet and a piece of metal.


Only the earth exerts gravitional force on all object true or false?

False. All objects with mass exert gravitational forces on each other, not just the Earth.


Only the earth exerts gravitional force on all object is it true or false?

False. Every object attracts every other object, through the gravitational force.


Can an object exert a force on itself, and if so, how does this self-exerted force impact the object's motion or stability?

No, an object cannot exert a force on itself. The concept of self-exerted force is not supported by the laws of physics. Objects can only experience forces from external sources, which can impact their motion or stability.


What forces only have an affect on objects that they touch?

Contact forces, such as friction, normal force, tension, and applied force, only have an effect on objects they touch. These forces require physical contact between objects to manifest and influence the motion or deformation of the objects involved.


How can forces act on an object without touching?

Forces can act on an object without touching it through fields. In the case of gravitational forces, objects are attracted to each other through gravitational fields, without physical contact. Similarly, magnetic or electric fields can exert forces on objects without direct contact.


Forces can only stop objects from moving true or false?

False. Forces can also set stationary objects in motion.


Are forces only exerted when objects touch each other?

No...


Is the mutual gravitational force exerted by a pair of objects affected by the nature of the inverting medium?

Inverting? I assume you mean the surrounding medium, or the medium in between. No; the gravitational force depends ONLY on the masses, and on the distance. Of course, anything between the two objects may exert forces OTHER than the gravitational force.


Which boolean operation keeps only the volume common to the two solid objects?

The boolean operation that keeps only the volume common to two solid objects is the intersection operation. This operation creates a new object that consists only of the overlapping region of the original objects.


Is dry ice an amorphous solid?

No, it is just Carbon dioxide in solid state (converted from gas directly to solid by sublimation). No ionic forces present. These are van der wall forces only.


Is it true that a magnet is an object that can exert force on another material?

Yes, it is true that a magnet is an object that can exert force on another material. However, it will only exert that force if it is made out of the correct material. Items made of iron are the most common magnetic objects.
