Answer:

  • <u> From your frame of reference, the speed of your friend is zero.</u>

Explanation:

The<em> speed</em> from a <em>frame of reference</em> is the magnitude of the change of the position per unit of time in that frame of reference.

When it is said that, to a <em>stationary observer</em> you have a <em>speed of 9m/s</em>, it means that the observer "measures"  tha your position, in a moment, changes 9 m per second.

Since both you and your friend are sit still on the same spinning merry-go-round, neither of you will change positions with respect to the other, meaning that you will perceive that your friend will not move, from your frame of reference. That is, if you are isolated from the rest of the universe, and the merry-go-round continues spining uniformly, you cannot detect any movement of your friend, which means that from your frame of reference, the speed of your friend is zero.

Reflecting telescopes are popular because they're
musickatia [10]
<span>The answer is letter C.

Reflecting telescopes are more powerful than refracting telescopes. These are also called as reflectors which serves an optical telescope that uses a single or combination of curved mirrors. These mirrors then reflect light and form an image. It is designed for very large diameter objects and are mostly considered as major telescopes in the field of astronomy. They were used as an alternative for refracting telescopes during the 17th century because they suffer less chromatic aberrations than a refracting telescope does. <span>

A sample of helium behaves as an ideal gas as energy is
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

0.0321 g

Explanation:

Let helium specific heat c_h = 5.193 J/g K

Assuming no energy is lost in the process, by the law of energy conservation we can state that the 20J work done is from the heat transfer to heat it up from 273K to 393K, which is a difference of ΔT = 393 - 273 = 120 K. We have the following heat transfer equation:

E_h = m_hc_h \Delta T = 20 J

where m_h is the mass of helium, which we are looking for:

m_h = \frac{20}{c_h \Delta T} = \frac{20}{5.193 * 120} \approx 0.0321 g

Newton’s 3rd law of motion states that “every action has an equal and opposite reaction.” A golf ball was hit with a force of 20
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

<u>Example of Newton's III law</u>

  • In the, golf the ball was hit by a club with certain force. As the club hits the ball it's the action. When the ball flies away its the reaction.
  • When a person swings a golf club at the ball, when it hits the ball, it causes the ball to roll up the face of the club and into the air towards the target.
