Describe what it means to view something from a frame of reference. Give an example to illustrate your explanation.

Physics
1 answer:
Komok [63]3 years ago

Answer:

In physics, the concept of a frame of reference is used to specify the perspective from which an object or event is observed.

A frame of reference is where the measurements or observations will be made. Because of this, observing an event may be different when changing from one frame of reference to another, because the measurements will be different.

Defining frames of reference is necessary because the movement is relative, it may be that from our perspective or from a frame of reference on earth we are at rest, but seen from a frame of reference in space, we are in motion due that the earth is always moving.

Another example of frames of reference is a moving plane. Seen from the ground an object in the plane moves at the speed at which the plane travels, but if the frame of reference is fixed on the plane, the object is at rest.

The metal with the highest melting temperature is tungsten which melts at around 3400 K. What is the wavelength of the peak of t
alekssr [168]

Explanation:

It is given that, the metal with the highest melting temperature is tungsten which melts at around 3400 K, T = 3400 K

We need to find the wavelength of the peak of the black body distribution for this temperature. It can be calculated using Wein's displacement law as :

\lambda\times T=k

k is the constant, k=2.89\times 10^{-3}\ m.k

\lambda=\dfrac{k}{T}

\lambda=\dfrac{2.89\times 10^{-3}\ m.k}{3400\ k}

\lambda=8.5\times 10^{-7}\ m

or

\lambda=850\ nm

The wavelength of infrared is from 700 nm to 1 mm. So, the lies in infrared region of the spectrum. Hence, this is the required solution.

What does K stand for in Hookes law?
wlad13 [49]
So Hooke's law says that that law is proportional to how much I stretch the spring. Alright. So f=kx<span>. x is the length of the spring now minus its length when it's relaxed and nobody's pulling on it. k is a constant called the spring constant.</span>

Two insulated copper wires of similar overall diameter have very different interiors. One wire possesses a solid core of copper,
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

a

 Solid Wire     I  =   0.01237 \  A      

  Stranded  Wire  I_2  =   0.00978 \  A

b

  Solid Wire   R  = 0.0149 \ \Omega

   Stranded  Wire  R_1  = 0.0189 \ \Omega

Explanation:

Considering the first question

From the question we are told that

  The  radius of the first wire is  r_1  = 1.53 mm = 0.0015 \  m

  The radius of  each strand is  r_0 =  0.306 \ mm =  0.000306 \ m

  The current density in both wires is  J  =  1750 \  A/m^2

Considering the first wire

     The  cross-sectional area of the first wire is

      A   = \pi  r^2

= >  A   = 3.142 *  (0.0015)^2

= >  A   = 7.0695 *10^{-6} \  m^2

Generally the current in the first wire is    

     I  =  J*A

=>  I  =  1750*7.0695 *10^{-6}

=>  I  =   0.01237 \  A

Considering the second wire  wire

The  cross-sectional area of the second wire is

     A_1  =  19 *  \pi r^2

=>     A_1  =  19 *3.142 *  (0.000306)^2

=>  A_1  =  5.5899 *10^{-6} \  m^2

Generally the current is  

      I_2  =  J  *  A_1

=>    I_2  =   1750  *  5.5899 *10^{-6}

=>    I_2  =   0.00978 \  A

Considering question two  

 From the question we are told that

     Resistivity is  \rho  =  1.69* 10^{-8} \Omega \cdot m

     The  length of each wire  is  l =  6.25 \  m

Generally the resistance of the first wire is mathematically represented as

    R  =  \frac{\rho *  l  }{A}

=> R  =  \frac{  1.69* 10^{-8} * 6.25 }{ 7.0695 *10^{-6} }

=> R  = 0.0149 \ \Omega

Generally the resistance of the first wire is mathematically represented as

    R_1  =  \frac{\rho *  l  }{A_1}

=> R_1  =  \frac{  1.69* 10^{-8} * 6.25 }{5.5899 *10^{-6} }

=> R_1  = 0.0189 \ \Omega
