N the particular case of motion, a reference point is a stationary point in space. You can then measure the displacement of objects in space from this point. A reference point is important in determining motion because in order to say that something is moving, you need to have something stationary to compare it to.

A reference is critical because it determines how much motion has occurred. You can't determine how much an objected has moved if you don't know where it came from.

stira [4]

Answer:

i) 24.5 m/s

ii) 30,656 m

iii) 89,344 m

Explanation:

Desde una altura de 120 m se deja caer un cuerpo. Calcule a 2.5 s i) la velocidad que toma; ii) cuánto ha disminuido; iii) cuánto queda por hacer

i) Los parámetros dados son;

Altura inicial, s = 120 m

El tiempo en caída libre = 2.5 s

De la ecuación de caída libre, tenemos;

v = u + gt

Dónde:

u = Velocidad inicial = 0 m / s

g = Aceleración debida a la gravedad = 9.81 m / s²

t = Tiempo de caída libre = 2.5 s

Por lo tanto;

v = 0 + 9.8 × 2.5 = 24.5 m / s

ii) El nivel que el cuerpo ha alcanzado en 2.5 segundos está dado por la relación

s = u · t + 1/2 · g · t²

= 0 × 2.5 + 1/2 × 9.81 × 2.5² = 30.656 m

iii) La altura restante = 120 - 30.656 = 89.344 m.

If a substance is changing from a vapor to a liquid, like steam on a mirror, it is said to be _______.
NARA [144]

Answer:

condensing

Explanation:

Condensing is the word used to indicate the change of state of a substance from vapor to liquid, as in this case. During condensation, the substance releases thermal energy to the environment, therefore the kinetic energy of the molecules in the vapor decreases until they become closer to each other and they start to be affected by the intermolecular forces and so the substance becomes a liquid.

Describe a process in which energy changes forms at least twice
olga55 [171]
That would be like dropping your cell phone on to the ground by accident. The object (cell phone)'s gravitational potential energy would be converted to kinetic energy or energy in motion more precisely. This is just a hypothetical example though.
