How can motion be described and measured

Physics
2 answers:
PolarNik [594]3 years ago

Answer:

Motion can be described  "...in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, speed, and time," according to Wikipedia. The main feature that measures motion is momentum or speed.

Hope this helped! Let me know if you have any other questions. :)

Answer:Motion is relative and can be described in terms of speed, position, time, distance, velocity.

Explanation: Motion can simply be described as the change in location or position of an object.It is subdivided into rotational, oscillatory and translational.

Motion of a body can be observed by attaching a subject of reference to an observer and measuring the change in position of the body relative to the subject.

Motion is measured by putting into reference momentum, velocity, speed, mass, distance and time.

WHO IS GOOD AT PHYSICS, ELECTRIC CIRCUITS?​
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: An electric circuit is a representation of how current moves from the source of the current( example a battery or a cell) through resistors and other devices before entering the source.

Explanation:

The two important types of electrical circuit includes:

--> open circuit and

--> closed circuit.

A circuit is said to be open when the electrical source, such as the battery or the cell, is not connected to any external conductor (or resistance). In this situation, any voltmeter connected across the terminal of the cell measures the total driving force of the cell.

In this type of circuit, current cannot flow from one end of power source to the other due to interruptions.

A circuit is said to be closed if the source of electricity is connected to an external conductor through which current is passed.

In a closed circuit, there is complete electrical connection which allows current to flow or circulate. Here, part of the total driving force of the source is used to drive current through the external resistance and the difference is used to overcome the internal resistance of the battery.

An airplane capable of an airspeed of 100 km/hr is 60 km off the coast above the sea. If the wind is blowing from the coast out
Nady [450]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to relative speed. We will obtain it from the deduction made on the aircraft as a speed of the two components that act on it. Through the kinematic equations of motion, we can then calculate the time required.

The airspeed of airplane is 100km/h  while the wind is blowing from the coast out to sea at 40km/h. Wind is blowing from the coast out to sea means that it opposes the airspeed. Therefore, resultant relative speed of airplane is

v_r = 100-40=60km/h

Total distance is 60km then with this net velocity we have that the required time is

v = \frac{x}{t} \rightarrow t = \frac{x}{v}

Where,

x = Displacement

t = Time

v = Velocity

Replacing,

t = \frac{60km}{60km/h} = 1hour

t = 60 minutes

Therefore the time taken by the plane to reach the shore is 60 minutes

Physical Science is the study of
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Physical science is the study of the inorganic world. That is, it does not study living things. (Those are studied in biological, or life, science.) The four main branches of physical science are astronomy, physics, chemistry, and the Earth sciences, which include meteorology and geology.

The diagram shows a heat engine. In which area of the diagram is unusable thermal energy detected?
Marat540 [252]
Nope, I disagree with the former answer. The answer is definitely Z. <u>W area</u> (boxed with red outline) is represented as the hot reservoir while <u>Z area</u> is the cold reservoir (boxed with blue outline). X area is the heat engine itself and Y area is the work produced from thermal energy from hot reservoir. Typically, all heat engines lose some heat to the environment (based from the second law of thermodynamics) that is symbolically illustrated by the lost energy in the cold reservoir. This lost thermal energy is basically the unusable thermal energy. The higher thermal energy lost, the less efficient your heat engine is.
