Motion is detected when an object changes its position with respect to a reference point. Coordinate system is basically used to represent motion. A coordinate system uses numbers or coordinates which represent position of the reference points on a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. The trajectory of a point or line can be studied on a coordinate system which describes various aspects of motion like velocity, acceleration, distance, displacement etc. Coordinate system is important because it helps to choose a starting point and the direction (which will be positive).
Answer: to provide evidence to a theory
Explanation: Experimentation allows for multiple trials to provide evidence to a scientific theory. Without experimentation there would be no data to back up your hypothesis.
Velocity=3.4m/sec
Mass=30kg
so kinetic energy=1/2mv^2
=1/2×30×3.4×3.4
=15×3.4×3.4
=15×11.56
=173.4 kg m per second square
I'm not sure if this is correct but it's what I'll do
This is free-fall problem.
Stone A is thrown upward, at the point it falls down to the place where it was thrown, the velocity is -15m/s.
Now I choose the bridge is the origin. From the bridge, stone A and B fall the same distance which means Ya = Yb ( vertical distance )
Ya = Vo(t + 2) + 1/2a(t+2)^2
= -15(t + 2) + 1/2(9.8)(t^2 + 4t + 4)
= -15t - 30 + 4.5(t^2 + 4t + 4)
= -15t - 30 + 4.5t^2 + 18t + 18
= 4.5t^2 +3t - 12
Yb = Vo(t) + 1/2a(t)^2
= 0 + 4.5t^2
4.5t^2 = 4.5t^2 +3t - 12
0 = 3t - 12
4 = t
Time for Stone B is 4s
Time for Stone A is 6s
