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

Physics
1 answer:
horsena [70]3 years ago

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.

Answer:

Explanation:

The height to which a ball will bounce depends on the height from which it is dropped, what the ball is made out of (and if it is inflated, what the pressure is), and what the surface it bounces from is made out of. The radius of the ball doesn't really matter, if you are measuring the height of the ball from the bottom of the ball to the ground.

A ball's gravitational potential energy is proportional to its height. At the bottom, just before the bounce, this energy is now all in the form of kinetic energy. After the bounce, the ball and the ground or floor have absorbed some of that energy and have become warmer and have made a noise. This energy lost in the bounce is a more or less constant fraction of the energy of the ball before the bounce. As the ball goes back up, kinetic energy (now a bit less) gets traded back for gravitational potential energy, and it will rise back to a height that is the original height times (1-fraction of energy lost). We'll call this number f. For a superball, f may be around 90% (0.9) or perhaps even bigger. For a steel ball on a thick steel plate, f is >0.95. For a properly inflated basketball, f is about 0.75. For a squash ball, f might be less than 0.5 or 0.25 - squash balls are not very bouncy. The steel ball on an unvarnished pine wood floor may not bounce at all, but rather make a dent, and so what the floor is made out of makes quite a lot of difference.

The internal energy of a system....
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

C. Equals the sum of all forms of energy contained within the system.

D. Equals the heat entering the system at constant volume.

E. Equals the heat entering the system plus the work done on the system

Explanation:

Internal energy is defined as the sum of internal kinetic energy and internal potential energy, that is, the energy contained within the system.

The first law of thermodynamics relates the change in the internal energy with the heat entering the system (Q) and work done on the system (W), with the following expression:

\Delta U=Q+W

If the system is at constant volume the work done is zero. Therefore, the heat entering the system increases its internal energy:

\Delta U=Q

A large plate carries a uniform charge density σ = 8. 85 × 10-9 c/m2. a pattern showing equipotential surfaces with a 5 v potent
vfiekz [6]

The potential difference comes out to be

10 \times 10 {}^{ - 3} m

Given:

σ = 8. 85 × 10-9 c/m2

we know,

E = \frac{σ}{2ε0}

E =  \frac{8.85 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} }{2ε0}

E =  \frac{v}{d}

given the potential difference between two equipotential surface=5v

E=∆v

∆d=∆v/E

=  \frac{5 \times 8.85 \times 10 { }^{ - 12} \times 2 }{8.85 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} }

Δ = 10 \times 10 {}^{ - 3} m

Thus the potential difference is

10 \times 10 {}^{ - 3} m
