E Describe the meaning of a line crossing the x-axis in a velocity-time graph.

Answer:

A line crossing the x-axis in a velocity-time graph means that the moving object has changed its direction.

Explanation:

Velocity-Time graph:

A velocity-time graph is a two dimensional graph with velocity at its y-axis and time at its x-axis. At any point, value of y represents the velocity and value of x represents the time. The slope of the graph gives us the acceleration or deceleration of the moving object.

In a velocity-time graph:

- A straight line represents constant velocity.

- A diagonal line means that the velocity of a body is changing.

*Referring to the figure attached with the answer*

The velocity of the moving object increases at a constant rate for the first 10 minutes. Then the velocity is 60 m/min for the next 5 minutes. After that the velocity is decreasing. Till 30th minute when the velocity is at 0 m/min.

What happens here?

Velocity is a vector quantity. It has some direction. In a velocity-time graph, we are only concerned with two directions of velocity:

- Forward direction

- Backward direction

So, the object stops at 30th minute and starts moving in the reverse direction after that with an increasing velocity. <u>The point where the line cuts the x-axis is basically the point where the object starts moving in the reverse direction.</u>

A red laser with a wavelength of 670 nm and a blue laser with a wavelength of 450 nm emit laser beams with the same light power.
tatyana61 [14]

E=hf C=wavelength*F

E=hC/wavelength

E=(6.626*10^-34)*(3.00*10^8)/670*10^-9

E=(6.626*10^-34)*(3.00*10^8)/450*10^-9

Which describes the average velocity of an ant traveling at a constant speed
yanalaym [24]

Answer: A. The total displacement divided by the time and  C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

Explanation:

Hi! The question seems incomplete, but I found the options on the internt:

A. The total displacement divided by the time.

B. The slope of the ant's acceleration vs. time graph.

C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

D. The average acceleration divided by the time.

Now, since we know the ant is travelling at a constant speed, its average velocity V will be expressed by the following equation:

V=\frac{d}{t}

Where:

d is the ant's total displacement

t is the time it took to the ant to travel to the kitchen

Hence one of the correct options is: A. The total displacement divided by the time

On the other hand, this can be expressed by a displacement vs. time graph graph, where the slope of that line leads to the equation written above. So, the other correct option is: C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

Explain how buoyancy can defeat the force of gravity​
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Buoyancy causes things to float in water or liquid which appears to defeat the force of gravity. Hope this helps.
