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

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.

For a series circuit what is the terminal voltage of a battery or power supply equal to in terms of the potential difference or

trapecia [35]

Answer: V=IR

Explanation: for a series circuit connected to a battery supply, the total emf across the circuit is given as

E = I(R + r) and by expanding, we have that E =IR + It

Where r is the internal resistance of the battery

I is the total current flowing in the circuit

R total load resistance in the circuit.

E is the total emf of the circuit.

The total emf is the sum of 2 separate voltages.

"IR" which is the terminal voltage and "Ir" which is the loss voltage.

The teenila voltage is the voltage flowing in the circuit based on the equivalent resistance of the circuit while the loss voltage is the wasted voltage based on the internal resistance of the battery source.

A wave amplitude 0.36m interferes with a second wave of amplitude 0.22m traveling in the same direction. What is the largest res

DerKrebs [107]

The largest resultant amplitude would be that created by constructive interference, basically when the two waves are of the same phase, so it would be 0.36m+0.22m= 0.58 m.

A hammer strikes one end of a thick iron rail of length 8.80 m. A microphone located at the opposite end of the rail detects two

stepladder [879]

Answer:

ΔT = 0.02412 s

Explanation:

We will simply calculate the time for both the waves to travel through rail distance.

FOR THE TRAVELING THROUGH RAIL:

$T_{rail} = \frac{Distance}{Speed\ of\ Sound\ in\ Rail}\\\\T_{rail} = \frac{8.8\ m}{5950\ m/s}\\\\T_{rail} = 0.00148\ s$
