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 airplane takes off from Dallas Texas to fly to new york city traveling ne for 2,760 km the Same plane returns that day to Dal

Kipish [7]

<h3>Answer</h3>

1104 km/hour

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Distance between Dallas Texas to New York = 2760 km

Time the plane took from Dallas to New York = 2 hours

Time the plane took from New York back to Dallas = 2.5 hours

Formula to use

<h3>distance = speed x time </h3>

Speed the plane took from Dallas to New York

2760 = 2 x speed

speed = 2760 / 2

= 1380 km/hour

Speed the plane took from New York to Dallas (ROUND TRIP)

2760 = 2.5 x speed

speed = 2760 / 2.5

= 1104 km/hour

A child swings on a playground swing. How many times does the child swing through the swing's equilibrium position during the co

Karolina [17]

<h2>The child swing through the swing's equilibrium position 6 times during the course of 3 periods.</h2>

Explanation:

One period means time taken to complete one revolution.

In case of swings in one period time it travels the same position through two times.

Here we need to find how many times does the child swing through the swing's equilibrium position during the course of 3 period(s) of motion.

For 1 period = 2 times

For 3 periods = 3 x For 1 period

For 3 periods = 3 x 2 times

For 3 periods = 6 times

The child swing through the swing's equilibrium position 6 times during the course of 3 periods.

The opening to a cave is a tall, 30.0-cm-wide crack. A bat is preparing to leave the cave emits a 30.0 kHz ultrasonic chirp. How

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The value is $w = 7.54 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the crack is $a = 0.3 \ m$

The frequency is $f = 30.0 \ kHz = 30 *10^{3} \ Hz$

The distance outside the cave that is being consider is $D = 100 \ m$

The speed of sound is $v_s = 340 \ m/s$

Generally the wavelength of the wave is mathematically represented as

$\lambda = \frac{v}f}$

=> $\lambda = \frac{340 }{30*10^{3}}$

=> $\lambda = 0.0113 \ m/s$

Generally for a single slit the path difference between the interference patterns of the sound wave and the center is mathematically represented as

$y = \frac{ n * \lambda * D}{a}$

=> $y = \frac{ 1 * 0.0113 * 100}{0.3}$

=> $y = 3.77 \ m$

Generally the width of the sound beam is mathematically represented as

$w = 2 * y$

=> $w = 2 * 3.77$

=> $w = 7.54 \ m$
