Which graph illustrates constant speed and velocity?

Physics
2 answers:
boyakko [2]3 years ago

The correct graph is <u>D</u>.

The graph <em>A</em> is a straight line sloping downwards and it shows that the speed of the body is decreasing at a constant rate. Therefore, this s a graph of a body that is under a constant deceleration.

The graph B is a straight line which slopes upwards. Hence the graph shows that the speed of the body increases at a constant rate. Therefore, this is a graph of a body that is accelerating at a constant rate.

The graph C is curved line, which curves upwards. The slope of the curve increases with time. This is therefore, a graph of a body which is under increasing acceleration.

The graph D, however is a straight line parallel to the time axis. The speed of the body has the same value at all times. Therefore, Graph D is the graph which shows the motion of a body with constant speed.

Answer choice D is correct.

When you are thinking about a "constant" on a graph, it usually means that is is a straight line that is either horizontal or vertical. In this case the only graph that as both a constant speed and velocity is D which is why it is correct.

A has a negative constant acceleration

B has a positive acceleration

C is not constant, but is moving at a positive acceleration.

Hope this helps some!

If you are in a spaceship that is sitting on the surface of a planet, you feel your weight. How does this compare to the weight
nordsb [41]

Answer:

You will feel more weight if it is accelerating out of the planet.

You will feel less weight if it is accelerating towards the planet.

Explanation:

The weight that you are observing or feeling is basically due to the change in acceleration of your fall or rising up in the spaceship. When the acceleration is stationary on the surface, you experience your normal weight due to the gravitational acceleration of that planet.

When the spaceship accelerates above or out of the planet you experience acceleration more than the acceleration of gravity hence more weight.

When the spaceship accelerates towards the planet you experience acceleration less than the acceleration of gravity hence less weight.

If the spaceship is free falling at the gravitational acceleration you experience a zero weight

A magnesium surface has a work function of 2.65 eV. Electromagnetic waves with a wavelength of 280 nm strike the surface and eje
Neko [114]

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy of radiation in eV = 1237.5/280 = 4.42 eV.

Work function = 2.65 eV.

Maximum kinetic energy = 4.42 - 2.65 = 1.77 eV.
