How is a frame of reference used to describe motion

Physics
1 answer:
Zinaida [17]4 years ago
5 0
In particle kinematics, we measure the acceleration of the particle. For this, an observer is taken as a reference point. Generally we consider the observer as in origin of a co-ordinate system. The place where observer is placed is known as frame of reference. 
Newton's laws only work in the inertial frame of reference. Inertial frame is a frame of reference whose acceleration is zero. But, if you are observing the motion of an object from non-inertial frame, you need to add and extra force on the system under observation which is known as pseudo force.

If a force acting on an object is multiplied how is product called work?
Assoli18 [71]
Work is equal to the force applied to an object multiplied by the distance it had travelled. This is work as long as the force and the direction of the distance in going in the same direction.

It is work because you're applying a force on an object to move it.

For example, work is done when you push a box across the floor, but work is not done when you lift the box up and then walk it across the room. This is because the force on the box is upwards since you're lifting it and the direction of the distance is left or right so the directions are not the same.

Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of a 1500 kg automobile moving at 17 m/s . express your answer to two significant figures
Sidana [21]
Kinetic energy = 1/2 (mass)*(velocity)^2

ke = 1/2 (1500kg) (17m/s)^2
ke = 216750 kg*m^2/s^2 = 216750 Joules

(sorry, I don't know significant figures. but this is otherwise the correct answer with the right units. hope this helps!! :))

A grandfather clock is controlled by a swinging brass pendulum that is 1.2 m long at a temperature of 27°C. (a) What is the leng
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

L2 = 1.1994 m

the length of the pendulum rod when the temperature drops to 0.0°C is 1.1994 m

Explanation:

Given;

Initial length L1 = 1.2m

Initial temperature T1 = 27°C

Final temperature T2 = 0.0°C

Linear expansion coefficient of brass x = 1.9 × 10^-5 /°C

The change i length ∆L;

∆L = L2 - L1

L2 = L1 + ∆L ...........1

∆L = xL1(∆T)

∆L = xL1(T2 - T1) ......2

Substituting the given values into equation 2;

∆L = 1.9 × 10^-5 /°C × 1.2m × (0 - 27)

∆L = 1.9 × 10^-5 /°C × 1.2m × (- 27)

∆L = -6.156 × 10^-4 m

From equation 1;

L2 = L1 + ∆L

Substituting the values;

L2 = 1.2 m + (- 6.156 × 10^-4 m)

L2 = 1.2 m - 6.156 × 10^-4 m

L2 = 1.1993844 m

L2 = 1.1994 m

the length of the pendulum rod when the temperature drops to 0.0°C is 1.1994 m

1) Beth rode the Flying Saucer ride at her favorite amusement park. The ride hung from a rod and swung back and forth while simu
quester [9]

#1

Since Beth rode the Flying saucer ride which is spinning on its axis while axis is moving to and fro as well, so here Beth will experience two motions in this case

(i) Spinning motion

(ii) Rotational motion

#2

Jill and Scott both traveled for 30 min

So time of motion for both is 0.5 h as we know that 1 h = 60 min

Now from the formula of speed we know that

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Speed of Jill

v_1 = \frac{5}{0.5} = 10 km/h

speed of Scott

v_2 = \frac{10}{0.5} = 20 km/h

so correct answer is

B) Scott had the faster speed since he rode at 20 k/h while Jill only traveled 10 km/h.

#3

Since we know that <em>acceleration is rate of change in velocity</em>

So here we can say that every motion where velocity changes with time then it is an accelerated motion.

Now change in velocity occurs when either the magnitude will change or its direction will change because here velocity is a vector quantity and it will change with magnitude and direction both.

so here due to oval path the direction of velocity will changes at many points and hence it will be an accelerated motion.

so correct answer is

<em>C) James was right since the car changed direction during the race.</em>
