When measuring accelerations with three different graphs (x-t, v-t, a-t) which gives the most reliable results and why?

kipiarov [429]3 years ago

Answer:

the best graph to find the acceleration is v-t since calculating the slope averages the different experimental errors.

Explanation:

The different graphics depending on time give various information, let's examine what we can get from some

Graph of x -t. from this graph we can obtain the speed through the slope, but the acceleration is not directly obtainable

v-t chart. We can get the acceleration not through the slope and the distance traveled by the area under the curve. Obtaining acceleration is very accurate since it is an average that avoids possible errors in measurements. This is the best graph to find the acceleration

Graph of a-t In this graph the acceleration is a point on the Y axis, it gives some errors because it depends strongly on the possible experimental errors.

In conclusion, the best graph to find the acceleration is v-t since calculating the slope averages the different experimental errors.

2) The horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity of a football are 16 m/s and 20 m/s respectively. How long doe
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: 2.04 s

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity be v, Angle of projectile be

Then the horizontal component = v cos θ = 16 m/s

Vertical component of velocity = v sin θ = 20 m/s

Time taken to reach the highest point is half the time taken for total flight.

Time for total flight,

t = \frac{2vsin \theta}{g}

t'=\frac{vsin \theta}{g} = \frac {20 m/s}{9.8 m/s^2} = 2.04 s

Thus, the football takes 2.04 s to rise to the highest point of its trajectory.

Decide whether each statement describes mass or weight.
vova2212 [387]

<u>Mass</u>

  • Mass is measured in kilograms.
  • Mass does not change when gravity changes.
  • Mass is the amount of matter in something.

<u>Weight</u>

  • Before I answer, we have to know weight formula. Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity.
  • Therefore, weight is measured in Newtons.
  • Weight changes when gravity changes. This is because weight is dependent on acceleration due to gravity.
  • Weight is a gravitational force.

Hope you could understand.

If you have any query, feel free to ask.

A space vehicle is traveling at 5425 km/h relative to the Earth when the exhausted rocket motor (mass 4m) is disengaged and sent
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

V_{cE}=1489m/s

Explanation:

Given data

Space vehicle speed=5425 km/h relative to earth

The rocket motor speed=81 km/h  and mass 4m

The command has mass m

From the conservation of momentum as the system isolated

p_{i}=p_{f}\\

Since the motion in on direction we can drop the unit vector direction

MV_{i}=4mV_{mE}+mV_{CE}

Where M is the mass of space vehicle which equals to sum of the motors mass and command mass.

The velocity of the motor relative to the earth equals the velocity of the motor relative to command plus the velocity of the command relative to earth

V_{mE}=V_{mc}+V_{cE}

Where Vmc is the velocity of motor relative to command

This yields

5mV_{i}=4m(V_{mc}+V_{cE})+mV_{cE}\\5V_{i}=4V_{mc}+5V_{cE}

Substitute the given values

V_{cE}=\frac{5V_{i}-4V_{mc}}{5}\\ V_{cE}=5425*\frac{1000}{60*60}(m/s)-\frac{4}{5}*81\frac{1000}{60*60}(m/s)\\  V_{cE}=1489m/s
