What is frame of reference equations and how to apply?

Physics

Doss [256]3 years ago

A frame of reference in physics means where the coordinate system (x-y-z axes) are located as a function of time. From the observers perspective at the origin (frame of reference), he can write equations describing the moving objects position, velocity and acceleration as a function of time. Here's an example for you:

Try to imagine two different observers, one observer is on a moving train at 30mph, the other observer is on the ground watching. The observer on the train throws a ball at 20mph, the length of the train car. As far as the coordinate system where the observer is standing, the ball is moving at 20mph away from him. But as far as the observer on the ground sees, the observer on the train is moving 30 mph away from him, and the ball is moving at 30 + 20 = 50 mph away from him. The equations that each observer would write to describe the moving ball would be different because of the different Reference Frames (Coordinate Axes) where the observers are a function of time.

A 1500-W heater is connected to a 120-V line. How much heat energy does it produce in 2.0 hours? Hint: how are power and energy
ELEN [110]
Power is the rate of work done or produced by a system. It will have units of Watts which is equivalent to Joules per second. To determine the work or energy produced by the system, we multiply power with time. We do as follows:

Energy = Power x time
Energy = 1500 J/s (2.0 hr) (3600 s / 1 hr) 
Energy = 10800000 J

In Figure 21-4 B, does the magnetic field -due to the current carrying wire- curve in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction
weeeeeb [17]

The magnetic field between the poles of the horseshoe magnet in fig 21.4 B curves in the <u>counter clockwise direction.</u>

The magnetic field lines due to a straight current carrying conductor is given by the right hand thumb rule.  This rule is stated as follows: Imagine holding the current carrying conductor in your right hand with the thumb pointing in the direction of current, then the direction in which your fingers curve around the wire gives the direction of the magnetic field lines. The direction of the magnetic field lines at a point gives the direction of magnetic field at that point.

On applying this rule, it can be seen that the magnetic field  due to the conductor shown in Fig 21.4 B curves in the counter clockwise direction.

A medical ultrasound imaging system sends out a steady stream of very short pulses. To simplify analysis, the reflection of one
arlik [135]

Answer:

Minimum time = 1.95x10^-4 s

Number of pulses = 5128.21 pulses/s

Explanation:

We have the speed of sound waves through human tissue with a value of 1540 m/s, to calculate the time it takes for the pulse to travel a distance of 30 cm (since the pulse will first travel a distance of 15 cm and then it will return another 15 cm to be detected by the equipment), therefore, the time between the two pulses will be equal to:

tminimum = 0.30 m/1540 m/s = 1.95x10^-4 s

To calculate the number of pulses, one second must be divided over the minimum time between the two pulses, as follows:

npulses = 1 s/1.95x10^-4 s = 5128.21 pulses/s
