Chapter 2: Problem 169

Frame of reference is a \(\ldots\) and a ... from where an observer takes his observation, (A) place, size (B) size, situation (C) situation, size (D) place, situation

Short Answer

Expert verified
A frame of reference consists of a point or a coordinate system (place) from where observations are taken, and a set of orientation axes or directions (situation) to describe the observations. Therefore, the correct answer is (D) place, situation.

Step by step solution

01

Identify the components of a frame of reference

A frame of reference consists of a point or a coordinate system (place) from where observations are taken and a set of orientation axes or directions (situation) to describe the observations.
02

Compare with the given options

We are looking for an option that represents "place" and "situation" as the two components of a frame of reference. (A) place, size (B) size, situation (C) situation, size (D) place, situation
03

Choose the correct option

Among the given options, option (D) "place, situation" correctly describes the components of a frame of reference. Therefore, the answer is (D) place, situation.
