Characteristics of non contact forces. (ICSE CLASS 9)

The properties of non contact forces( gravitational,  electrostatic and magnetic forces) are as follows,
1. They are central forces. It means the non contact force acts along the line joining the centres of two bodies.
2. They follow inverse square law. It means a non contact force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
3. They can both be attractive and repulsive.

MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE , VELOCITY RATIO

Which is always constant for a machine of given design: MA or VR ? Ans: VR remains constant for a machine of given design as it depends on the distances moved by the load and effort but MA can vary due to the friction developed between the moving parts of the machine.

What is Regelation?

The melting point of ice is 0°C at normal pressure but when you increase the pressure on ice it melts at the temperature below 0°C( i.e. melting point of ice decreases with pressure). When the pressure applied is released then water formed from ice starts freezing. This phenomenon is called REGELATION.
