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

Physics
1 answer:
GaryK [48]3 years ago
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 invisible force will cause you to fall to the earth if you fall off your bed?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The answer to this is falling all the way through the Earth is impossible, since its core is molten. ... As you approached the center of the earth the pull of gravity would decline and eventually (at the center) cease, but inertia would keep you going.

Please help. I don’t understand this
skad [1K]

The short answer is that the displacement is equal tothe area under the curve in the velocity-time graph. The region under the curve in the first 4.0 s is a triangle with height 10.0 m/s and length 4.0 s, so its area - and hence the displacement - is

1/2 • (10.0 m/s) • (4.0 s) = 20.00 m

Another way to derive this: since velocity is linear over the first 4.0 s, that means acceleration is constant. Recall that average velocity is defined as

<em>v</em> (ave) = ∆<em>x</em> / ∆<em>t</em>

and under constant acceleration,

<em>v</em> (ave) = (<em>v</em> (final) + <em>v</em> (initial)) / 2

According to the plot, with ∆<em>t</em> = 4.0 s, we have <em>v</em> (initial) = 0 and <em>v</em> (final) = 10.0 m/s, so

∆<em>x</em> / (4.0 s) = (10.0 m/s) / 2

∆<em>x</em> = ((4.0 s) • (10.0 m/s)) / 2

∆<em>x</em> = 20.00 m

Given the wave function: Y(x,t) = 5sin27(0.2x - 3t); (x = meters, t = sec.): What are the amplitude, frequency, wavelength, angu
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Explanation:

Y = 5 Sin27( .2x-3t)

= 5 Sin(5.4x - 81 t )

Amplitude = 5 m

Angular frequency ω = 81

frequency = ω / 2π

= 81 / (2 x 3.14 )

=12.89

Wave length λ = 2π / k ,

k = 5.4

λ = 2π / 5.4

= 1.163 m

Phase velocity =ω / k

= 81 / 5.4

15 m / s.

The wave is travelling in + ve x - direction.

Express the kinetic energy K in terms of the potential energy U.<br><br><br> K=GMm/2R
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

K = -½U

Explanation:

From Newton's law of gravitation, the formula for gravitational potential energy is;

U = -GMm/R

Where,

G is gravitational constant

M and m are the two masses exerting the forces

R is the distance between the two objects

Now, in the question, we are given that kinetic energy is;

K = GMm/2R

Re-rranging, we have;

K = ½(GMm/R)

Comparing the equation of kinetic energy to that of potential energy, we can derive that gravitational kinetic energy can be expressed in terms of potential energy as;

K = -½U
