Answer:

fixed frame of reference on Earth

Explanation:

When speaking in daily life or in a written problem, in general we assume a fixed frame of reference on Earth, so that the speeds of objects are referred to Earth.

In some cases we talk about other frames of reference, but these are explicitly written.

It should be mentioned that all the reference frames are inertial, that is, with zero acceleration, in order to comply with Newton's second law

Frame of reference, in simplest terms, describes the state of motion of the observer. The frame of reference may also be described by using a set of coordinates, time and motion. We formulate all our equations and solve them using the frame of reference.

9. A wave on Beaver Dam Lake passes by two docks that are 40.0 m apart.
Kobotan [32]

Answers:

a) 10 m

b) time=1.6 s, frquency=0.625 Hz

c) 6.25 m/s

Explanation:

a) If there is a crest at each dock and another three crests between the two docks, and the wavelength \lambda is the distance between to crests; this means we have 4\lambda in 40 m:

40 m=4\lambda

Clearing \lambda:

\lambda=\frac{40 m}{4}

\lambda=10 m

b) This part can be solved by a Rule of Three:

If 10 waves ---- 16 s

1 wave ----- T

Then:

T=\frac{(1 wave)(16 s)}{10 waves}

T=1.6 s This is the period of the wave

On the other hand, the frequency f of the wave has an inverse relation with its period T:

f=\frac{1}{T}

f=\frac{1}{1.6 s}

f=0.625 Hz This is the frequency of the wave

c) The speed v of a wave is given by the following equation:

v=\frac{\lambda}{T}

v=\frac{10 m}{1.6 s}

Finally:

v=6.25 m/s

Conversion fraction 1$=4q, how many are in 20$
Tom [10]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf 20 \$ = 80q}

Given:

1$ = 4q

To Find:

How many quarters are in 20$

Explanation:

To find out how many quarters are in 20$ we need to multiple 4 × 20.

\sf 1\$  = 4q

\sf  20\$  = 4 \times 20q

\sf = 80q

A spring is characterized by a spring constant of 60 N/m. How much potential energy does it store, when stretched by 1.0 cm?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

3.0 x10^-3 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of a spring is given by PE = (0.5)k*x^2  

Where

K: Spring Constant = 60 N/m

x: displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position = 1cm = 0.01m

Then PE = 0.5(60)(.01)^2 = 0.003J = 3.0 x10^-3 J

A red blood cell is 7 x 10-6 m in size. This means it is 7 __________ in size. What unit completes the sentence?
aalyn [17]

If a red blood cell is 7 x 10^-^6 m in size, it means that such a cell is 7 microns or micrometer in size. The unit that completes the sentence will, thus, be microns or micrometer.

According to international system of measurement:

  • 10^{-1} m = decimeter
  • 10^{-2} m = centimeter
  • 10^{-3} m = millimeter
  • 10^{-6} m = micrometer or micron
  • 10^{-9} m = nanometer

Thus, a measurement of 7 x 10^-^6 m is the same is 7 micons or 7 micrometer.
