While skateboarding at 19 km/h, Alana throws a tennis ball at 11 km/h to her friend Oliver. If Alana is the reference frame, the speed of the tennis ball is

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:
Well, you see, I don't think Alana really is the reference frame.
Call me paranoid, but I think you changed the reference frame
during the question, and didn't tell us.

In which reference frame is the 19 km/hr measured ?
It CAN'T be Alana's reference frame. Your own reference
frame moves along with you, and you can't move in it, even
if your name is Alana.

If Alana is the reference frame, and she throws the tennis ball
at 11 km/hr, then the speed of the ball is 11 km/hr in Alana's
reference frame. Her reference frame moves with her, so
it makes no difference how fast she is skateboarding in any
other reference frame, who she throws the ball at, or whether
or not he sees it coming and catches it.

Yes, this stuff can get confusing. And if you think it's bad now,
wait till you start reading some of Prof. Einstein's stuff, where
two people in the same reference frame can watch the same
tennis ball, and not even agree on how fast it's moving, because
THEY're both moving and their own motion makes their rulers
and clocks change ! So they measure different speeds, and
they're both right !

But I got distracted. I'm sorry. The point I'm trying to make,
right now when you're just starting to learn reference frames,
is that EVERY time you say a speed, you have to tell which
reference frame the speed is in. Because, as you're starting
to learn, the same object can have a different speed in every
reference frame.

And, just in case you're thinking about this later today
and you want to ask "Which one is the REAL speed ?" . . .
THAT's the whole point of learning about reference frames !
There is NO SUCH THING as REAL speed. It ALWAYS
depends on which reference frame it's measured in. They're
all different, they're all real, and they're all correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

The first thing we must do for this case is to define a frame of reference.

We know that, the frame of reference for this case is Alana.

Therefore, the tennis ball has a speed relative to Alana.

The speed relative to Alana, is the same speed with which Alana throws the tennis ball.

Therefore, the speed of the tennis ball is:

v = 11 Km/h

Answer:

The speed of the tennis ball is:

v = 11 Km/h

Which of the following statements are true as a block of ice melts?The temperature of the ice/water system increases.
Heat energy enters the ice/water system.
The temperature of the ice/water system remains constant.Heat energy leaves the ice/water system.
The temperature of the ice/water system decreases.

Answers

It takes heat energy to turn ice at 0°C into water at 0°C.

-- You start off with a block of ice.

-- Some heat energy hits the ice, the ice absorbs it, a little bit
of ice melts, and a puddle forms around it. Now you have an
ice/water system, all at 0°C.

-- If no more heat comes in from somewhere, then no more
ice can melt.

-- When some more heat energy comes in, some more ice
can melt, and become liquid at 0°C.

-- As heat comes in, more and more ice melts. The temperature
of the whole system remains constant. Any heat that comes in
is used to change the state of some ice from solid to liquid, with
no temperature change.

-- Finally, when all of the solid is gone, any more heat energy
begins to raise the temperature of the water.

The red LED consists of a white LED covered with a red filter. What does the red filter do?

Answers

White light is light that's made up of ALL colors.

If you have a source of white light and you want red light,
then you have to REMOVE all the other colors from the
white light somehow.

That's what a red filter does. The dye in the filter has chemicals
that absorb every color of light except red. Then, red light is the
only thing left to come out of the other side.

(If the light going into the filter had no red in it, then the filter
would appear black, because there wouldn't be any light
coming out of it at all.)

Answer:

black is it

What would be the meaning of a nonzero y intercept to a graph of total mass versus volume?

Answers

It would imply the object has some volume but 0 mass which isn't possible. Negligible masses with volumes can be considered however absolutely 0 mass really means the object doesn't exist at all. Thus, showing the graph is wrong.
