An observer in the Earth reference frame observes cart A and cart B moving toward each other with the same speed until they collide and come to rest. Consider this event as seen by observer A moving along with cart A. Assume that this observer matches cart A's initial velocity but does not collide with cart B (that is, observer A continues along at the same velocity that cart A had initially). Would the observer in the Earth reference frame and observer A obtain the same value for the initial velocity of cart A? Yes No Would the observer in the Earth reference frame and observer A obtain the same value for the final velocity of cart B after the collision? No Yes Would the observer in the Earth reference frame and observer A obtain the same value for the relative velocity of the two carts after the collision?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • No
  • No
  • Yes

Explanation:

  • This is because of the reason that for the observer on the earth will observe the cart as moving whereas the velocity of the cart A for observer A will be zero.
  • This is because for the observers in the different reference frames, the observation of velocity of the cart will also be different.
  • This is because of the reason that the relative velocity is with respect to each other thus its value for both the observer will be same.

(a) Would the observer in the Earth reference frame and observer A obtain the same value for the initial velocity of cart A -No

(b) Would the observer in the Earth reference frame and observer A obtain the same value for the final velocity of cart B after the collision-No

(c) Would the observer in the Earth reference frame and observer A obtain the same value for the relative velocity of the two carts after the collision -Yes

What is frame of reference?

A frame of reference (or reference frame) is an abstract coordinate system with an origin, orientation, and scale specified by a set of reference points.

(a)This is because of the reason that for the observer on the earth will observe the cart as moving whereas the velocity of the cart A for observer A will be zero.

(b)This is because for the observers in the different reference frames, the observation of velocity of the cart will also be different.

(c) This is because of the reason that the relative velocity is with respect to each other thus its value for both the observer will be same.
