Explain what it means to view a moving object from a frame of reference

1 answer:

5 0

When you look at an object in motion, the frame of reference is different depending on where you are when looking at this object.

For example, if you are in a train you can say that from your frame of reference the ground outside is moving compared to you and you are not moving or the train is not moving. From someone on the outside of the train, they can say that the train is moving compared to the ground and they are not moving.

Another example could be if you are driving in a car. You can say that the road is moving backwards compared to you and you are stationary. Someone standing on the sidewalk can say you are moving compared to the ground. You can also say that you are not moving since you are stationary in the car.

What is the formula of two vectors which are mutually perpendicular?

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

a .(b+c) = a.b+a.c

Explanation:

As the three vectors are perpendicular to each other, one of them must lie perpendicular to the plane containing the other two vectors…say a lies perpendicular to the plane of b and c.(b + c )gives another vector which lies in same plane of c and b .

Which of the following documents could be used to represent claims to financial assets?

stiks02 [169]

I think the correct answer would be passbooks. It can be used to prove one's financial assets. It holds record of all bank transactions done on that particular account. Basically, all withdrawals and deposits are recorded there. Hope this helped.

Beginning 145 miles directly south of the city of Hartville, a car travels due west. If the car is travelling at a speed of 42 m

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The rate of change of the distance is 14.89.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 145 miles

Speed of car = 42 miles/hr

Distance covered by car = 55 miles

We need to calculate the the rate of change of the distance

According to figure,

Let OA is x, and AB is y.

Now, using Pythagorean theorem

$x^2=y^2+145^2$

On differentiating

$2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}=2y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=\dfrac{y}{x}\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=\dfrac{55\times42}{\sqrt{55^2+145^2}}$

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=14.89\ miles/hr$

Hence, The rate of change of the distance is 14.89.

a quarterback throws a football with angle of elevation 40degrees and speed 60ft/s. Find the horizontal and vertical components

pshichka [43]

<span>
the horizontal velocity would be equal to
Vh = sin (40) /60
= 0.74 * 60
= 44
</span>
the Vertical velocity would be equal to
<span>Vv = cos(40) * 60
=40</span>
