You apply the brakes of your car abruptly and your book starts sliding off the front seat. Three observers sitting in the car ex

plain this differently. Observer A says that the book continued moving and the car accelerated from underneath it. Observer B says that the car pushed forward on the book. Observer C says that she must be in a noninertial reference frame because the book started moving without any extra objects interacting with it. Which of the observers is correct? Assume that the car is a frame of reference of all observers.

Answer:

All the observers are correct.

Explanation:

This is simply a problem of reference frames from which the motion of the book is being viewed by the various observers.

From their various reference frames, they are all correct.

Observer A must be in the inertial reference frame.

<em>Observers who can explain the behavior of the book  and the car by using the relationship between the sum of  the forces and changing velocity are said to be observers in inertial reference frames.</em>

This is clearly shown by what observer A noticed. There was a relative motion between the book and the car as she pointed out, making her to be in an inertial reference frame.

<em>Similarly, observers in inertial reference frames can also explain the changes in velocity of objects  by considering the forces exerted on them by other objects.</em>

This is shown by observer B as he is able to notice how the force of the car affects the velocity of the book.

Observer C is actually in a non-inertial reference frame, as newtons law of force motion relationship are no longer observed. This occurs in the non inertial reference frame.

A rock has a mass of 3.1 kg. What is its weight on earth
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

W = 30.38 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a rock, m = 3.1 kg

We need to find the weight of the rock on the surface of Earth. Weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

g is the acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

W = 3.1 kg × 9.8 m/s²

= 30.38 N

So, the weight of the rock on the Earth is 30.38 N.

Describe the sequence of mechanical energy events that lets you hear the
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Starting from the beginning.

There is a radio signal that is received by the radio.

The radio interprets the signal and produces a current in response to it.

That current goes to a membrane that oscillates producing sound, the oscillation of the membrane is the first mechanical energy event here.

These oscillations can travel in material mediums, for example, the air. Then there is a production of waves (soundwaves) that travel in the air (second event).

Those waves now hit the wall that separates you and your neighbor, as the wall is made of a material, the soundwaves can travel through it, but they will be dispersed (a part of the waves rebounds on the wall, and another part is dissipated as the wave travels through the wall), there is also a transmitted part of the wave, that is now in your house. (this change of medium will be the third event). Now only the lower frequencies survive, this is why the sound is "muffled".

Those remaining frequencies now travel in your house, and when they reach your ear, your ear sends a signal to your brain and your brain interprets them as sound. The wave interacting with your ear will be the fourth and last mechanical energy event.

What is the strength of the electric field inside the membrane just before the action potential?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Incomplete question, check attachment for the graph needed to solve problem.

A 8.1nm........

Explanation:

Electric Field is given as

E=V/d

Where V is voltage

And d is the distance apart

E is the electric field

The voltage V just before action of potential is -70mV,

The value d=8.1nm

d=8.1×10^-9m

E=V/d

E=-70×10^-3/8.1×10^-9

E=-8.6×10^6 N/C

Then the magnitude of the electric field is 8.6×10^6N/C

How do scientists know our universe is older than 6500 years?
dmitriy555 [2]
<span>This is because astronomers have discovered that the Crab Nebula is 6500 light years from earth. This means it takes 6500 earth years for light to get from the Crab Nebula to earth. Therefore, if we are able to observe the Crab Nebula and beyond it then it means that earth has been in existence for 6500 years and over.  </span>
