What does the phrase rise over run refer to when defining slope

Physics
1 answer:
horsena [70]3 years ago
4 0
I just learned this. Rise over run is also rise divided by run.  The rise refers to the y axis (since y is vertical so it's rising), and run refers to the x axis (Since x is horizontal so it's running straight).  So in other words, rise/run = y/x.  To calculate the slope, you do y/x.  For example, if you have y=3 and x=8, then your slope is 3/8.  To plot that on a graph, you start from your point, and go up three, and across 8.  Hope this helps.

A distant large asteroid is detected that might pose a threat to Earth. If it were to continue moving in a straight line at cons
Vlada [557]

Answer:

The minimum speed required is 5.7395km/s.

Explanation:

To escape earth, the kinetic energy of the asteroid must be greater or equal to its gravitational potential energy:

K.E\geq P.E

or

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 \geq  G\dfrac{Mm}{R}

where m is the mass of the asteroid, R= 24,000,000\:m is its distance form earth's center, M = 5.9*10^{24}kg is the mass of the earth, and G = 6.7*10^{-11}m^3/kg\: s^2 is the gravitational constant.

Solving for v we get:

v \geq \sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R} }

putting in numerical values gives

v \geq \sqrt{\dfrac{2(6.7*10^{-11})(5.9*10^{24})}{(24,000,000)} }

\boxed{v\geq 5739.5m/s}

in kilometers this is

v\geq5.7395m/s.

Hence, the minimum speed required is 5.7395km/s.

Why was Thompson's Plum pudding model a significant departure from previous models?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Thomson's cathode-ray tube experiments led him to develop the plum-pudding model, which stated that each atom had positively charged particles spread throughout its negatively charged matter. Reword the statement so it is true. ... More alpha particles were deflected than he expected.

Explanation:

Well.. I hope it helps you..

Just correct me if I'm wrong..

What form of matter is vapor?
katrin [286]
The form of matter that is vapor is a gas made of a substance that is usually liquid. 
Vapor is created when water, or some other liquid evaporates - meaning that it becomes so hot in a room, or wherever, that the liquid starts becoming gas.

A spring of force constant 1500 Nm-l is acted
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

1.876 J

Explanation:

First, let’s calculate the compression of the spring from the Hooke’s law:

F=kx,

here, F=75 N is the force acted on the spring, k=1500 N⁄m is the force constant of the spring, x is the compression of the spring.

Then, we get:

x=F/k=(75 N)/(1500 N/m)=0.05 m.

Finally, we can find the potential energy stored in the spring:

PE=1/2 kx^2=1/2∙1500 N/m∙(0.05 m)^2=1.875 J.

correct my answer if it's wrong ^^
