A child is riding in a wagon. What reference frame might have been used if an observer said the child was not moving.

Physics

GarryVolchara [31]3 years ago
3 0

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>

Energy is the ability to do work. True or false
Blababa [14]
Work can be defined as the energy transferred from a body to its sorroundings, the energy spent to move a body, or the energy you need to alter a charged particle, so no energy, no work; thus, the statement is true.

A transform boundary occurs where two tectonic plates _____.?
gladu [14]

Where they slide over each other.

Transform boundaries are formed or occur when two plates slide past each other in a sideways motion.  They do not tear or crunch into each other (but the rock in between them may be ground up) and therefore none of the spectacular features are seen such as occur in divergent and convergent boundaries.

In a transform boundary, neither plate is added to at the boundary nor destroyed.  They are marked in some places by features like  stream beds that have been split in half and the two halves moved in opposite directions.

two cars start at the same point and drive in a straight line for 5km. At the end of the drive their distances are the same but
Anna11 [10]

A 'displacement' always consists of a magnitude and a direction.  The two cars you just described have displacements with the same magnitude ... 5 km.  But if they didn't both drive in the same direction, then their displacements are different.

Remember:

-- 10 m/s² up and 10 m/s² down are different accelerations

-- 30 mph East and 30 mph West are the same speed but different velocity.

-- 5 km North and 5 km South are the same distance but different displacement.

A 2 kg rubber ball is thrown at a wall horizontally at 3 m/s, and bounces back the way it came at an equal speed. A 2 kg clay ba
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

THE RUBBER BALL

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The mass of the rubber ball is m_r   =  2 \ kg

      The  initial  speed of the rubber ball is  u =  3 \ m/s

      The final speed at which it bounces bank v  - 3 \ m/s

      The mass of the clay ball  is  m_c =  2  \ kg

       The  initial  speed of the clay  ball is u = 3 \ m/s

       The final speed of the clay ball is  v = 0 \  m/s

Generally Impulse is mathematically represented as

       I  =  \Delta p

where \Delta  p is the change in the linear momentum so  

       I  =  m(v-u)

For the rubber  is  

        I_r  =  2(-3 -3)

       I_r  = -12\ kg \cdot  m/s

=>     |I_r|  = 12\ kg \cdot  m/s

For the clay ball

       I_c  =  2(0-3)

        I_c =  -6 \ kg\cdot \ m/s

=>    | I_c| =  6 \ kg\cdot \ m/s

So from the above calculation the ball with the a higher magnitude of impulse is the rubber ball
