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 piece of wood 400N in weight and 50cm X 30cm X 20cm in size lies on 50cm X 20cm face. Calculate the pressure exerted by it.
Serga [27]

Answer:

P = 4000 [Pa]

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the relationship between Force and the area where the body rests.

The support area is equal to:

A=50*20=1000[cm^{2} ]

But we must convert from square centimeters to square meters.

1000[cm^{2}]*\frac{1^{2}m^{2}  }{100^{2}m^{2}  }=0.1[m^{2} ]

And the pressure is:

P=\frac{F}{A} \\P=400/0.1\\P=4000[N/m^{2} ]or 4000[Pa]

lukranit [14]
Simple reaction time involves selecting a specific and correct response from several choices when presented with several different stimuli. This is very important because historically, this was the first indicators of intelligence pioneered by Francis Galton. To measure one’s intelligence is to know how he quick a person could respond to the stimulus with an already expected response wherein the stimulus is given unknown to the receiver. In other terms, the intelligence is measured on how quick a person could grasp certain concepts and how he could think fast and answer them correctly. <span> </span>

Technician A says that the governor is used to measure vehicle speed in a hydraulically-controlled automatic transmission. Techn
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Both technicians are correct

Explanation:

In automobiles, governors are being used. Governors are also known for speed limiters as they can regulate and measure the speed of the automobile.

Hydraulic Transmission: Shifting is controlled by mechanical sensors according to vehicle speed and throttle position/manifold vacuum through valving operated by hydraulic 'pilot' signals.

Electronic Transmission: Shifting is controlled by an on-board computer that receives signals from electronic sensors.

Your friend says that if Newton’s third law is correct, no object would ever start moving. Here is his argument: You pull a sled
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

You pull a sled exerting a 50 N force on it , sled also exerts a force on you . These forces are action and reaction force , as per third law of Newton . These two forces are equal and  opposite . But they do not act on the same object so they do not cancel each other . They act on different objects , one on the sledge and the other on you . Due to force on sledge , sledge moves in the direction of force or towards you . You will start moving in opposite direction if frictional force of ground is nil or less .
