Anon25 [30]4 years ago
3 0

Answer: A system or frame of reference are those conventions used by an observer (usually standing at a point on the ground) to be able to measure the position and other physical magnitudes.

Is a battery a resistor
-Dominant- [34]
A battery is a real-life voltage source. A battery can be thought of as a perfect voltage source with a small resistor (called internal resistance) in series. ... The terminal voltage equals the emf minus the voltage drop across the internal resistance (current of the external circuit times the internal resistance.)

What is carbon dating
Tom [10]

the determination of the age or date of organic matter from the relative proportions of the carbon isotopes carbon-12 and carbon-14 that it contains. The ratio between them changes as radioactive carbon-14 decays and is not replaced by exchange with the atmosphere.

A boat moves initially at 10 m/s, then accelerates at 2 m/s^2 for 10 s. What is the velocity of the boat after 10 s?
bija089 [108]

Answer:

<h3>30m/s</h3>

Explanation:

acceleration is the change in velocity of a body with respect to time

a = v-u/t

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity = 10m/s

t is the time taken = 10s

a is the acceleration = 2m/s²

substitute the values into the formula

2 = v-10/10

cross multiply

20 = v-10

v = 20+10

v = 30m/s

Hence the velocity of the body after 10s is 30m/s

Explain why a Merry-Go-Round and a Ferris Wheel have a constant acceleration when they are moving.
luda_lava [24]

Explanation:What is centripetal acceleration?

Can an object accelerate if it's moving with constant speed? Yup! Many people find this counter-intuitive at first because they forget that changes in the direction of motion of an object—even if the object is maintaining a constant speed—still count as acceleration.

Acceleration is a change in velocity, either in its magnitude—i.e., speed—or in its direction, or both. In uniform circular motion, the direction of the velocity changes constantly, so there is always an associated acceleration, even though the speed might be constant. You experience this acceleration yourself when you turn a corner in your car—if you hold the wheel steady during a turn and move at constant speed, you are in uniform circular motion. What you notice is a sideways acceleration because you and the car are changing direction. The sharper the curve and the greater your speed, the more noticeable this acceleration will become. In this section we'll examine the direction and magnitude of that acceleration.

The figure below shows an object moving in a circular path at constant speed. The direction of the instantaneous velocity is shown at two points along the path. Acceleration is in the direction of the change in velocity, which points directly toward the center of rotation—the center of the circular path. This direction is shown with the vector diagram in the figure. We call the acceleration of an object moving in uniform circular motion—resulting from a net external force—the centripetal acceleration

a, start subscript, c, end subscript; centripetal means “toward the center” or “center seeking”.
