Why is it important to select a coordinate system when studying motion?

1 answer:

5 0

Motion is detected when an object changes its position with respect to a reference point. Coordinate system is basically used to represent motion. A coordinate system uses numbers or coordinates which represent position of the reference points on a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. The trajectory of a point or line can be studied on a coordinate system which describes various aspects of motion like velocity, acceleration, distance, displacement etc. Coordinate system is important because it helps to choose a starting point and the direction (which will be positive).

Which of the following methods of soil conservation uses the roots of plants as anchors in the soil? (2 points) Adding fertilize

julsineya [31]

I believe the correct answer is the second option. Planting of trees on sloped surfaces is a method of conservation that utilizes the roots of plants. Planting trees on such areas would prevent hazards and maintain the soil formation future since the roots would hold the soil together preventing or minimizing any soil erosion.

Light from a laser with wavelength 400 nm passed through two small openings and produces an interference pattern on a screen 1 m

alexira [117]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to destructive interference from double-slit experiments. For this purpose we will define the path difference as,

$\text{Path difference}= dsin\theta = (2n-1)\frac{\lambda}{2}$
