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.

A ball dropped from a window strikes the ground 2.76 seconds later. How high is the window above the ground

sweet [91]

Answer:

37.33m

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion

S = ut + 1/2gt^2

Time t = 2.76secs

g = 9.8m/s^2

S = 0 + 1/2(9.8)(2.76)^2

S = 4.9*7.6176

S = 37.33

Hence the window is 37.33m above the ground

When the distance between two stars decreases by one-third, the force between them

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

the force will increase by a factor 2.25

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the two stars is given by:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two stars

r is the distance between the stars

If the distance is decreased by one-third, it means that the new distance is 2/3 of the previous distance

$r'=\frac{2}{3}r$

So the new force will be

$F'=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{(\frac{2}{3}r)^2}=\frac{9}{4} G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}=2.25 F$

So, the force will be 2.25 times the previous value.

It is not just lab chemicals but also common household substances that can be classified as acidic, basic, and neutral materials

Montano1993 [528]

Acidic: coffee, orange juice , soft drink, vinegar

Basic: Antacid, Baking soda, Detergent, Lye, Milk of Magnesia

Neutral: water, Sugar, Table salt.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Acidic substances have high concentration of hydrogen ions and have pH value less than 7. Basic substances have high concentration of hydroxide ions and have pH value more than 7. Neutral substance have pH value 7. The concentration oh hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions is equal.

Salt is formed when a acid reacts with base in a neutralization reaction. Different types of salt are formed depending upon the concentration of hydrogen and hydroxide ions. Neutral salt is formed when concentration of hydrogen ion is equal to concentration of hydroxide ions.

Coffee, orange juice , soft drink, vinegar are acidic substances. Antacid, Baking soda, Detergent, Lye, Milk of Magnesia. water, Sugar, Table salt are neutral substances.
