How do I do these? My teacher didn’t show us how.
melisa1 [442]

Explanation:

Displacement is simply the change in position.  So in the first part of problem 1, looking at the graph between 0 s and 2 s, the position changes from 0 m to -4 m.  So the displacement is:

Δx =  -4 m − 0 m

Δx = -4 m

Between 2 s and 4 s, the position stays at -4 m.  The displacement is:

Δx = -4 m − (-4 m)

Δx = 0 m

Finally, between 4 s and 6 s, the position goes from -4 m to 6 m.  The displacement is:

Δx = 6 m − (-4 m)

Δx = 10 m

The net displacement is the change in position from 0 s to 6 s:

Δx = 6 m − 0 m

Δx = 6 m

In the second part of problem 1, we have a velocity vs time graph.

Car 1 starts with 0 velocity and ends with a velocity of 6 m/s, so it is accelerating and constantly moving to the right.

Car 2 starts with a velocity of -6 m/s and ends with a velocity of 6 m/s.  It is also accelerating, but first it is moving to the left, comes to a stop at t = 3 s, then moves to the right.

Car 3 starts with a velocity of 2 m/s and ends with a velocity of 2 m/s.  So it is moving constantly to the right, but never speeds up or slows down.

We want to know when two of the cars meet.  Unfortunately, this isn't as easy as looking for where the lines cross on the graph.  We need to calculate their displacements.  We can do this by finding the area under the graph (assuming all the cars start from the same point).

Let's start with Car 2.  Half of the area is below the x-axis, and half is above.  Without doing calculations, we can say the total displacement for this car is 0.  This means it ends back up where it started, and that it never meets either of the other cars, both of which have positive displacements.

So we know Car 1 and Car 3 meet, we just have to find where and when.  For Car 1, the area under the curve is a triangle.  So its displacement is:

Δx = ½ t v(t)

where t is the time and v(t) is the velocity of Car 1 at that time.  Since the line has a slope of 1 and y intercept of 0, we know v(t) = t.  So:

Δx = ½ t²

Now look at Car 3.  The area under the curve is a rectangle.  So its displacement is:

Δx = 2t

When the two cars have the same displacement:

½ t² = 2t

t² = 4t

t² − 4t = 0

t (t − 4) = 0

t = 0, 4

t = 0 refers to the time when both cars are at the starting point, so t = 4 is the answer we're looking for.  Where are the cars at this time?  Simply plug in t = 4 into either of the equations we found:

Δx = 8

So Cars 1 and 3 meet at 4 s and 8 m.

Water is boiled at sea level in a coffeemaker equipped with an immersion-type electric heating element. The coffee maker contain
Luden [163]

Answer:

P=1362\ W

t'=251.659\ s is time required to heat to boiling point form initial temperature.

Explanation:

Given:

initial temperature of water, T_i=18^{\circ}C

time taken to vapourize half a liter of water, t=18\ min=1080\ s

desity of water, \rho=1\ kg.L^{-1}

So, the givne mass of water, m=1\ kg

enthalpy of vaporization of water, h_{fg}=2256.4\times 10^{-3}\ J.kg^{-1}

specific heat of water, c=4180\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}

Amount of heat required to raise the temperature of given water mass to 100°C:

Q_s=m.c.\Delta T

Q_s=1\times 4180\times (100-18)

Q_s=342760\ J

Now the amount of heat required to vaporize 0.5 kg of water:

Q_v=m'\times h_{fg}

where:

m'=0.5\ kg= mass of water vaporized due to boiling

Q_v=0.5\times 2256.4

Q_v=1.1282\times 10^{6}\ J

Now the power rating of the boiler:

P=\frac{Q_s+Q_v}{t}

P=\frac{342760+1128200}{1080}

P=1362\ W

Now the time required to heat to boiling point form initial temperature:

t'=\frac{Q_s}{P}

t'=\frac{342760}{1362}

t'=251.659\ s

WILL GIVE BRAINLIST QUICK!!! How does biodiversity support different varieties of species? (please put short answer)
Kay [80]
Biodiversity boosts ecosystem productivity where each species, no matter how small, all have an important role to play.A larger number of plant species means a greater variety of crops. Greater species diversity ensures natural sustainability for all life forms.

which of the following safety harnesses is the safest and most recommended when hunting from a treestand?
Lyrx [107]

The best tree stand safety harness is the Hunter Safety System Hybrid Flex Safety Harness, with its awesome ElimiShield Scent Control Technology.

Moreover, These stands are designed to be attached directly to the tree. Hunters using a fixed or suspended stand must choose a method of climbing up and down from the platform. The safest and most used method is sectional ladders.
