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

Physics
1 answer:
Anon25 [30]4 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.

A human being can be electrocuted if a current as small as 51.0 ma passes near the heart. an electrician working with sweaty han
boyakko [2]

The fatal current is 51 mA = 0.051 Ampere.

The resistance is 2,050Ω .

Voltage = (current) x (resistance)

            =  (0.051 Ampere) x (2,050 Ω)  =  104.6 volts .

==================

This is what the arithmetic says IF the information in the question
is correct.

I don't know how true this is, and I certainly don't plan to test it,
but I have read that a current as small as  15 mA  through the
heart can be fatal, not  51 mA .

If 15 mA can do it, and the sweaty electrician's resistance is
really 2,050 Ω, then the fatal voltage could be as little as  31 volts !

The voltage at the wall-outlets in your house is  120 volts in the USA !
THAT's why you don't want to stick paper clips or a screwdriver into
outlets, and why you want to cover unused outlets with plastic plugs
if there are babies crawling around.

Match each scenario to the form of energy it represents.
Pachacha [2.7K]
<span>Correct pairs:

a man jogging in the park --> motion energy (the energy is the kinetic energy of the man, moving with speed v)

a fully charged camera battery --> electric potential energy (the battery is fully charged, so it can deliver electrical energy when the camera is turned on)

a stove burner that’s turned on --> radiant energy (the stove burner emits energy by radiation)

an apple on a tree --> gravitational potential energy (when the apple is on the tree, it has gravitational potential energy equal to U=mgh, where m is the apple's mass and h its height from the ground)

What is the answer to this question?
icang [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a velocity/time (aka acceleration) graph, the slope of a line indicates the value of the acceleration in m/s/s. Acceleration is the change in velocity over the change in time. From 0 - 2 seconds, there is no change in velocity, so the acceleration during this interval is 0 (which is the same as the slope of the line). From 2 - 4 seconds, the slope of the line is -2, so the acceleration during the time interval from 2 to 4 seconds is -2 (negative because David is slowing down but is still going the same direction: to the right).
