The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the quantities observed by two observers moving with respect to each other at a constant speed. We will evaluate each quantity mentioned in the question to determine which one remains the same for both observers. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Observers**: - We have two observers moving with respect to each other at a constant speed \( v \). - They are observing a block of mass \( m \) moving a distance \( l \) on a rough surface. 2. **Kinetic Energy**: - The kinetic energy \( KE \) of the block is given by the formula: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 \] - The mass \( m \) is a frame-independent quantity, but the velocity \( v \) of the block depends on the observer's frame of reference. Therefore, the kinetic energy will differ for the two observers. 3. **Work Done by Friction**: - The work done \( W \) by friction is calculated as: \[ W = F \cdot d \] where \( F \) is the frictional force and \( d \) is the displacement. - The frictional force \( F \) is frame-independent, but the displacement \( d \) is frame-dependent. Thus, the work done by friction will also differ for the two observers. 4. **Total Work Done**: - The total work done on the block is the sum of the work done by all forces acting on it. - Since the work done by any force depends on the displacement (which is frame-dependent), the total work done will also vary between the two observers. 5. **Acceleration**: - The acceleration \( a \) of the block can be analyzed using the relative motion concept. - The relative acceleration between two observers moving at constant velocity is zero: \[ a_{\text{relative}} = a_{\text{block}} - a_{\text{observer}} = 0 \] - Since both observers are moving with constant velocity, they will observe the same acceleration of the block. ### Conclusion: After analyzing all the quantities, we find that the only quantity that remains the same for both observers is the **acceleration of the block**. ### Final Answer: The quantity that will be the same as observed by the two observers is the **acceleration of the block**. ---
