Let at any instant of time the speed is vo and the angle made by the bike with the horizontal is given
now we have
component of speed in x direction given as
component of speed in y direction will be
now from above two equations we can say that here
= angle with the horizontal at any instant
and since here it is a sine curve so we know that
so we have slope of graph
Answer:
1. As rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases.
2. The inverse of the mass of the boat.
Explanation:
1. Newton's second law of motion states;
F = ma
where F is the force applied, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.
Therefore, increasing the mass of a rocket increases its weight which would reduce its acceleration provided that the force is constant. Thus, as rocket mass increases, acceleration decreases.
2. The slope of the graph can be expressed as;
From Newton's second law,
F = ma
Slope = (Δa) ÷ (ΔF)
Slope =
⇒ =
Therefore, the slope of the graph is the reciprocal of the mass of the boat.
