Answer: A reference point

Explanation: If an object is in motion then its distance from another object is changing.  Whether an object is moving or not depends on your point of view. For example, a woman riding on a bus is not moving in relation to the seat she is sitting on, but she is moving in relation to the buildings the bus passes. A reference point is a place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion. An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point. You assume that the reference point is stationary, or not moving.

To demonstrate the tremendous acceleration of a top fuel drag racer, you attempt to run your car into the back of a dragster tha
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the dragster  attains the speed equal to that of the car which is moving with constant velocity of v₀ , before the two close in contact with each othe , there will not be collision .

So the dragster starting from rest , must attain the velocity v₀ in the maximum time given that is tmax .

v = u + a t

v₀ = 0 + a tmax

tmax = v₀ / a

The value of tmax is v₀ / a .

In 1911, Ernest Rutherford and his assistants Geiger and Marsden conducted an experiment in which they scattered alpha particles
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply conservation of mechanical energy

kinetic energy of alpha particle is converted into electric potential energy.

1/2 mv² = k q₁q₂/d , d is closest distance

d = 2kq₁q₂ / mv²

= 2 x 9 x 10⁹ x 79e x 2e / 4mv²

= 1422 x2x (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹)² x 10⁹ /4x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x (1.5 x 10⁷)²

= 3640.32 x 10⁻²⁹ /2x 3.7575 x 10⁻¹³

= 484.4 x 10⁻¹⁶

=48.4  x 10⁻¹⁵ m

Newton's first law equations like velocity and stuff like that
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Newton's first law: An object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force. ... An object sliding across a table or floor slows down due to the net force of friction acting on the object.
