Answer:

the wagon should be used as frame of reference if an observer said the child was not moving.

Explanation:

The state of motion of a body depends upon the frame of reference. It is the set of co-ordinates according to which the motion is analyzed. If a child is riding in a wagon, then he will be considered in motion to a person standing outside the wagon. Hence, if we take a frame of reference outside the wagon then the child must be in motion with respect to the observer. On the other hand if the observer is inside the wagon, then the child must be in rest with respect to the observer. Hence, if we take the wagon to be the frame of reference, then the child will be at rest with respect to the observer.

<u>Therefore, the wagon should be used as frame of reference if an observer said the child was not moving.</u>

An ac generator with peak voltage 100 volts is placed across a 10-? resistor. What is the average power dissipated?
Romashka [77]
The correct answer is: Average Power  = 500 W

Explanation:
Root-mean square voltage = Vrms = Vpeak /√2 = 100 / √2 volts
Resistance = R = 10 Ω
Average power = Pavg = (Vrms)^2<span> / R </span>= (100 * 100) / (2 * 10) = <span>500 W</span>

peach pie in a 9.00 in diameter plate is placed upon a rotating tray. Then, the tray is rotated such that the rim of the pie pla
zavuch27 [327]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of the peach pie, d = 9 inches

Radius of the pie, r = 4.5 inches

The tray is rotated such that the rim of the pie plate moves through a distance of 183 inches, d = 183 inches

Let \theta is the angular distance that the pie plate has moved through.

It is given by :

\theta=\dfrac{d}{r}

\theta=\dfrac{183}{4.5}  

\theta=40.66\ radian

Since, 1 radian = 57.29 degrees

\theta=2329.64\ degrees

Since, 1 radian = 0.159155 revolution

\theta=6.47124\ revolution

Hence, this is the required solution.

padilas [110]
The correct option is C.
From the information given above, one can easily conclude that electromagnetic Y is the strongest because, it produces the higher amount of current compare to the other electromagnets. Electromagnet W is the weakest because it produces the lowest amount of current.
