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>

The local high school is installing new bleachers at the stadium and must also add handrails to meet code. The students know the

Advocard [28]

Answer:

The handrails must be approximately 10.63 meters long

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height of the bleachers, h = 8 m

The depth of the bleachers, d = 7 m

The length of the hand rails to go along the bleachers from bottom to top is given by Pythagoras' Theorem as follows;

The length of the hand rail = √(d² + h²)

∴ The length of the hand rail = √(7² + 8²) = √113 ≈ 10.63

In order for the handrails to go along the bleachers from top to bottom, they must be approximately 10.63 meters long.

A light wave traveling through medium 1 strikes a boundary with medium 2 at at a 45 degree angle. the light then enters the seco

Alona [7]

Here light ray strikes to interface at an angle of 45 degree and then refracts into other medium such that it will bend towards boundary.

So here the angle of incidence will be less than the angle of refraction as light moves towards the boundary after refraction which mean it will bend away from the normal

here it can be said that medium 2 will be rarer then medium 1

So here the possible options are

1. Water

Air

2. Diamond

Air

So in above two options medium 1 is denser and medium 2 is rarer

A delivery truck travels with a constant velocity up an 8 slope. A 60 kg box sits on the floor of the truck and, because of sta

Blababa [14]

Explanation:

Given that,

The slope of the ramp, $\theta=8^{\circ}$

Mass of the box, m = 60 kg

(a) Distance covered by the truck up the slope, d = 300 m

Initially the truck moves with a constant velocity. We know that the net work done on the box is equal to 0 as per work energy theorem as :

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)=0$

u and v are the initial and the final velocity of the truck

(b) The work done on the box by the force of gravity is given by :

$W=Fd\ cos\theta$

Here, $\theta=90+8=98^{\circ}$

$W=mgd\ cos\theta$

$W=60\times 9.8\times 300\ cos(98)$

W = -24550.13 J

(c) What is the work done on the box by the normal force is equal to 0 as the angle between the force and the displacement is 90 degrees.

(d) The work done by friction is given by :

$W_f=-W$

$W_f=24550.13\ J$

Hence, this is the required solution.

What was the runoff from precipitation on the property for areas with vegetation and roofed or paved areas over the past four mo

puteri [66]

Answer:

Higher percentage of runoff water is absorbed by the vegetation whereas 100 % of water runoff on the roofed area.

Explanation:

Higher percentage of runoff water is absorbed by the vegetation and very little amount of runoff water is received on the end of vegetative cover while on the other hand, 100 percent of precipitation water runoff on the surface of roofed or paved area because no water is absorbed by the roof due to its solid surface. The percentage of runoff depends on the factors such as rainfall intensity, slope, soil water storage capacity, and infiltration rate.
