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.

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

Answer:

L=55.9m

Explanation:

The equation for the period of a simple pendulum is:

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

In our case what we know is the period and the acceleration of gravity, and we need to know the length of the pendulum, so we can write:

$L=(\frac{T}{2\pi})^2g$

Which for our values is:

$L=(\frac{15s}{2\pi})^2(9.81m/s^2)=55.9m$

Which of the following statements is true about tides? (2 points)

andre [41]

1: Tides are caused by the location of the Earth, sun, and moon.

2: Tides occur about an hour later each day.
This is because of the earth's orbit and the moons position as they move.

3: Half as much as the moon
The moon affects the tide much more than the sun, as the moon is drastically closer to the earth than the sun.
