We actually are the same weight as they are on dry land due to gravity acting at a constant acceleration on the mass of the object. Objects due however "appear" to weigh less in water. This is due to what is known as buoyancy. Buoyancy is actually the upward force of a liquid acting on an object that is placed in it.

Answer:

For a velocity versus time graph how do you know what the velocity is at a certain  time?

Ans: By drawing a line parallel to the y axis (Velocity axis) and perpendicular to the co-ordinate of the Time on the x axis (Time Axis). The point on the slope of the graph where this line intersects, will be the desired velocity at the certain time.

_____________________________________________________

How do you know the acceleration at a certain time?

Ans: We\ know\ that\ acceleration = \frac{Final\ velocity-Initial\ Velocity}{Time\ taken}

Hence,

By dividing the difference of the Final and Initial Velocity by the Time Taken, we could find the acceleration.

_________________________________________________________

How do you know the  Displacement at a certain time?

Ans: As Displacement equals to the area enclosed by the slope of the Velocity-Time Graph, By finding the area under the slope till the perpendicular at the desired time, we find the Displacement.

If a car is moving on a straight line with a velocity of 40 m/s and it changes its velocity to 60 m/s in 4 seconds, calculate it
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

5m/s²

Explanation:

Initial Velocity= 40m/s

Final Velocity=60m/s

Time = 4s

a=(v-u)/t

a=60-40/4

a=20/4

a=5m/s²

If the mass of an object increases, how is its acceleration affected, assuming the net force acting on the object remains the sa
vovikov84 [41]
Based on Newton's second law of motion, the net force applied to an object is equal to the product of the mass of the object and the acceleration it experiences. That is,
  
          F = ma

If we are to assume that the net force is constant and that the mass is increased, the acceleration should therefore decrease in order to make constant the value at the right-hand side of the equation.
