How does frame of reference affect how motion is described?

Frame of reference TOTALLY affects how motion is described.

ALL measurements of motion are ALWAYS described relative to
some frame of reference.  

And so is kinetic energy and so is gravitational potential energy.

Changing the frame of reference changes ALL of these.

And there's no such thing as the "REAL" motion or the "REAL"
mechanical energy.  It totally depends on the frame of reference
in which it's measured.

Answer:

B, D,E,F

Explanation:

Situations from the list in which mechanical energy is conserved.

Whenever there is friction there is always some loss of energy in the process and hence energy cannot be conserved.

- The Moon orbiting the Earth  (Total energy is remains the same)

- An ice skater gliding along the ice ( smooth surface no friction loss)

- A ball sliding down a friction less hill  ( again friction less process)

- A child swinging on a friction less swing, ignoring air resistance

What kind of heat transfer primarily occurs within a pot of water that is heated on the stove?
Svetlanka [38]
Convection. As the water molecules are being heated up at bottom, the molecules with less heat energy then move to take their place. By doing this all the water should reach an equal temperature.

Nikolay [14]

Answer: A

Explanation:

The air resistance as frictional force will always exist whenever there is motion. And cease to exist whenever there is no motion.

Among all the options, a lamp fixed with a rod from the ceiling experiences no movement. Therefore, this frictional force is ABSENT in that situation.
