Look at the title of the graph, in small print under it.
Each point is "compared to 1950-1980 baseline". So the set of data for those years is being compared to itself. No wonder it matches up pretty close !
Y - yo = Vo*t - g * (t^2) / 2
Vo = - 9.0 m/s
t = 0.50 s
=> y - yo = -9.0 m/s * 0.5 s - 9.8 m/s^2 * (0.5s)^2 / 2 = - 4.5m - 1.225m = - 5.725 m.
Answer: option c) - 5.7
Answer:
change in mass = 2.41*10^{8}kg
Explanation:
The change in the mass can be computed by using the relation
(1)
That is, the energy liberated comes from the mass of the nuclear fuel. The energy generated in one year is

Hence, by replacing in the equation (1) you have (c=3*10^{8}m/s)

HOPE THIS HELPS!!
The answer is Graph C. To explain, this is because as we look at the position vs time graph, we see that after the first second, it was 30 meters from the start. That would mean that it took 1 second to get to 30 meters. That is shown in Graph c
