You (in the x' frame) are moving with v = +5 m/s with respect to the x frame. If your initial position in each frame is Om, what are the positions in each frame after 3 s have passed? X:-15 m x': 15 m Answer 1: - 15 m Answer 2: 15 m

Answer:

Distance is 15 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity with respect to the x frame, v = 5 m/s

We need to find the position in each frame after 3 seconds have passed.

Distance covered is calculated by the product of velocity and time taken. It is given by :


d=v* t


d=5\ m/s* 3\ s

d = 15 meters

So, after 3 seconds the position in each frame is 15 meters from origin. Hence, this is the required solution.
