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.

UNIFORM CIRCULAR MOTION

In uniform circular motion,  1. Speed is constant. 2. Velocity is variable and acts along tangential direction  at a point. 3. Centripetal Force and acceleration act along the radius towards the centre if the circular path.  4. Centrifugal force appears to  act radially outwards. It is a virtual  ,fictitious force, not a real force.

ECHO IN LIVING ROOM

Why is echo not heard in our living rooms? To hear echo, the minimum distance between the source and the reflector must be 17m. When this distance is more than 17m, the reflected sound can be distinguished from the original. As the length of our rooms is less than 17m, we don't hear echo.
