Answer:

The correct answer is option 'd' : a billboard on the side of a road.

Explanation:

We know that when we are in an moving object it seems to us that we are at rest and our surroundings are moving, this is the concept of relative motion.

We can observe speed of different things relative to other things weather they are moving or are at rest. In order to measure speed of an object we have to measure it with respect to a frame of reference and this frame is in which the observation of the speed shall be taken. This frame can be at rest or can be moving at any speed.

In our case

1) when we are travelling in the car if we observe the plane we will see the plane moving with a speed while it would not be possible to determine our own speed.

2) If we observe a car travelling next to us at the same speed we will observe it to be not moving at all or it shall be at rest with respect to us.

3) If we observe a car traveling next to you at a faster speed than we are travelling we shall observe that it goes past us but at a slower speed.

4) If we observe a billboard at the side of a road since it is at rest with respect to the ground we shall get an idea about how fast we are moving.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Volume strain is 0.02

Explanation:

Volume strain is defined as the change in volume to the original volume.

It is given that,

Initial volume of the plastic box is 2 m³

It is then submerged below the surface of a liquid and its volume decreases to 1.96 m³

We need to find the volume strain on the box. It is defined as the change in volume divided by the original volume. So,

\delta V=\dfrac{V_f-V_i}{V_i}\\\\\delta V=\dfrac{1.96-2}{2}\\\\\delta V=0.02

So, the volume strain on the box is 0.02.
