Why does a curve on a distance-time graph indicate acceleration

Physics
1 answer:
Anon25 [30]3 years ago
6 0

... Speeding up or slowing down are two of the three forms of acceleration.


... The SLOPE of the line on a distance/time graph is the object's speed.


... If the graph is curved, then its slope is changing.

That means the object's speed is changing.

That means the object is accelerating.

Explain the bending of light as a property of a warping of space
saveliy_v [14]

Explanation:

According to the general theory of relativity, spacetime curves due to the energy it contains. Since mass is a form of energy, "create" gravity. That is, gravity is the effect observed as a consequence of the curvature of spacetime. Therefore, gravity curves the path of light because it curves the space through which light passes.

What can cause electricity to jump across a gap
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

It often happens in a circuit which was conducting,and a switch is opened. Any inductance in the circuit will help the voltage increase due to back emf,and this can cause breakdown of the air insulation and an arc can form.

A metal detector used in airports is actually a large coil of wire carrying a small current. Explain how it detects a gun, even
Alexus [3.1K]

<u>Metal detectors work by transmitting an electromagnetic field from the search coil into the ground. Any metal objects (targets) within the electromagnetic field will become energised and retransmit an electromagnetic field of their own. The detector’s search coil receives the retransmitted field and alerts the user by producing a target response. metal detectors are capable of discriminating between different target types and can be set to ignore unwanted targets. </u>

1. Search Coil

The detector’s search coil transmits the electromagnetic field into the ground and receives the return electromagnetic field from a target.

2. Transmit Electromagnetic Field (visual representation only - blue)

The transmit electromagnetic field energises targets to enable them to be detected.

3. Target

A target is any metal object that can be detected by a metal detector. In this example, the detected target is treasure, which is a good (accepted) target.

What magnitude charge creates a 1.0 n/c electric field at a point 1.0 m away?
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

1.1\cdot 10^{-10}C

Explanation:

The electric field produced by a single point charge is given by:

E=k\frac{q}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q is the charge

r is the distance from the charge

In this problem, we have

E = 1.0 N/C (magnitude of the electric field)

r = 1.0 m (distance from the charge)

Solving the equation for q, we find the charge:

q=\frac{Er^2}{k}=\frac{(1.0 N/c)(1.0 m)^2}{9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2c^{-2}}=1.1\cdot 10^{-10}C
