Answer:

A “frame of reference” is a standard relative to which motion and rest may be measured; any set of points or objects that are at rest relative to one another enables us, in principle, to describe the relative motions of bodies.

Explanation:

When you see a ball roll down a street, you can tell the ball is moving because the frame of reference is the streets, whatever may be on the side of the roads, or the Earth. All of these are frames of reference. All measurements of motion will be compared to a frame of reference.

A bus hits a bug and the bug splatters on the windshield, which force is greater?

grandymaker [24]

The forces acting on a body and the type of motion that results are given by Newton's three Laws of motion

The force of the bus is the same as reactive force of the bug

Reason:

According to Newton's third Law of motion, given that the bug collides

with the bus, the force with which the bus hits the bug is equal to the

reactive force of the bug on the on the bus

According to Newton's second Law of motion, force is equal to the rate of

change of the momentum produced

The impulse of the force of the bus on the bug is given as follows;

F·Δt = m·(v₂ - v₁)

Given that the force of the bus is large, the change in momentum, m·(v₂ - v₁),

is also large such that the parts of the bug are split by the rapid change in

velocity, and the bug splatters on the windshield, and is then carried along

on the trip,

The equally large reactive force of the bug, is such that the bug splatters

due its magnitude

Therefore, the correct response is that the forces are the same

Which projectiles will be visibly affected by air resistance when they fall?

NemiM [27]

Any object that is launched as a projectile will lose speed and, as a result, altitude, as it travels through the air. The rate at which the object loses speed and altitude depends on the amount of force that way applied to it when it was launched. It is also dependent on the size and shape of the item. This is why something like, say, a football is much faster to fall to the ground than a bullet.

A heavy boy and a lightweight girl are balanced on a mass-less seesaw. If they both move forward so that they are one-half their

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

b) Nothing will happen, the sea saw will still be balanced.

Explanation:

b) Nothing will happen, the sea saw will still be balanced.

Reason:-

When two kids are balanced, the sum of torques on the seesaw will be zero.

if each kid, reduces their distances by half, then the torque of each kid will be half and the sum of torque of each on the seesaw will be zero.

Therefore the seesaw is balanced

Hii please help i’ll give brainliest if you give a correct answer please please hurry it’s timed

Zina [86]

Answer: The answer is A for sure

Explanation:

That is, there will be no acceleration. If you are sitting at rest in a chair and the upward push of the chair is equal to the downward pull of gravity, you will stay at rest in the chair. ... You now have an unbalanced force acting on you and therefore, according to Newton's First Law, your motion is going to change.

Plz give brainlest :)
