Question

10. The accelerations of a particle as seen from two frames in one dimension
S1 and S2 have equal magnitude 4 m/s".
(a) The frames must be at rest with respect to each
other.
(b) The frames may be moving with respect to each other
but neither should be accelerated with respect to the
other.
(c) The acceleration of S, with respect to S, may either
be zero or 8 m/s?
(d) The acceleration of S, with respect to S, may be
anything between zero and 8 m/s,​

Answer 1

Answer:

C: The acceleration of S1, with respect to S2, may either  be zero or 8 m/s

Explanation:

There are 2 possible scenarios: either s1 and s2 are moving in opposite directions of each with acceleration of 4m/s/s or s1 and s2 are stationary or moving linearly without acceleration and the particle has a relative acceleration of 4 m/s/s
