Discuss what it means to view a moving objectt from a frame of reference. Supply an example that illustrates your explanation.

1 answer:

5 0

what is frame of reference:
it is set of fixed points which are inter related on the basis of rest and motion..,, or an explanation of what an observer is doing..
examples:
1 ,, if you are in motion and observing something then frame of reference is motion... and if you are at rest then frame of motion is rest...
2 frame of reference may be place like if a passenger is sitting in a car then he is in motion with respect to the ground but he is at rest with respect to the car in which he is sitting ...
3 also if a passenger is in car and he is tossing a coin and you are on the ground ,, then for passenger it is in vertical motion but for you it is in parabolic arc .. hence there are two different views for two persons for the same thing i.e coin... :)

Which of these is true about kinetic energy but not necessarily true about potential energy

cestrela7 [59]

Kinetic energy is never negative, but potential energy can be.

Potential energy depends on height above some reference level,
and you can pick any level you want as the reference. So, if the
object is below the reference level you pick, then its potential
energy relative to your reference level is negative.

What that means is: You have to lift it / do work on it / give it more
energy than it has now ... in order to move it to the reference level.

(That's exactly the situation with electrons bound to an atom. Their
energy is considered negative, because we have to do work and
give them more energy to rip them away from the atom.)
_____________________________________

Regarding the other choices:

-- Kinetic energy is scalar ... Yes. So is potential energy.

-- Kinetic energy increases with height ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

-- Kinetic energy depends on position ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

Using Ohm’s Law, explain how resistance changes in relation to current, assuming that voltage remains constant.

Cerrena [4.2K]

V=IR so voltage is directly proportional to current. So for a given resistance increasing the voltage will result in a high current as well. This is because resistance is proportional to the voltage over the current. Ex: I=V/R
Hope this helped. THANKYOU for asking.

By means of a rope whose mass is negligible, two blocks are suspended over a pulley, as the drawing shows, with m1 = 12.1 kg and

puteri [66]

Answer:

14.8 kg

Explanation:

We are given that

$m_1=43.7 kg$

$m_2=12.1 kg$

$g=9.8 m/s^2$

$a=\frac{1}{2}(9.8)=4.9 m/s^2$

We have to find the mass of the pulley.

According to question

$T_2-m_2 g=m_2 a$

$T_2=m_2a+m_2g=m_2(a+g)=12.1(9.8+4.9)=177.87 N$

$T_1=m_1(g-a)=43.7(9.8-4.9)=214.13 N$

Moment of inertia of pulley= $I=\frac{1}{2}Mr^2$

$(T_2-T_1)r=I(-\alpha)=\frac{1}{2}Mr^2(\frac{-a}{r})=\frac{1}{2}Mr(-4.9)$

Where $\alpha=\frac{a}{r}$

$(177.87-214.13)=-\frac{1}{2}(4.9)M$

$-36.26=-\frac{1}{2}(4.9)M$

$M=\frac{36.26\times 2}{4.9}=14.8 kg$

Hence, the mass of the pulley=14.8 kg

A solid sphere of mass 4.0 kg and radius 0.12 m starts from rest at the top of a ramp inclined 15°, and rolls to the bottom. The

cluponka [151]

Answer:

v = 4.1 m/s

Explanation:

As per mechanical energy conservation law we can say that initial total gravitational potential energy of the sphere is equal to final kinetic energy of rolling

so we will say

$mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$
