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!

Ron fills a beaker with glycerin (n = 1.473) to a depth of 5.0 cm. if he looks straight down through the glycerin surface, he wi
Tju [1.3M]

By law of refraction we know that image position and object positions are related to each other by following relation

\frac{\mu_1}{h_o} = \frac{\mu_2}{h_i}

here we know that

\mu_1 = 1.473

h_o = 5 cm

\mu_2 = 1

now by above formula

\frac{1.473}{5} = \frac{1}{h_i}

h_i = 3.39 cm

so apparent depth of the bottom is seen by the observer as h = 3.39 cm

Due to the wave nature of light, light shined on a single slit will produce a diffraction pattern? Green light (520 nm) is shine
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Yes, it will produce a diffraction pattern.

a. 3.9 mm b. 1.95 mm

Explanation:

The light shined from a single slit will produce a diffraction pattern because,  the wavefront act as wavelets which generates its own wave according to Huygens principle. This therefore causes the diffraction pattern.

Given

wavelength of green light, λ = 520 nm = 520 × 10⁻⁹ m = 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ m

width of slit, d = 0.440 mm = 0.44 × 10⁻³ m = 4.4 × 10⁻⁴ m

Distance of slit from central maximum , D = 1.65 m

Distance of first minimum from central maximum, y = ?

a. The relationship between the slit width and wavelength is given by [tex} dsinθ = mλ [/tex]where d = slit width, θ = angular distance from central maximum, λ = wavelength of light and m = ±1, ±2, ±3...

The relationship between y and D is given by tanθ = y/D

Since θ is small, sinθ ≈ θ ≈ tanθ

so, dθ = mλ ⇒ θ = mλ/d = y/D

Therefore, y = mλD/d

Now, for the first minimum above the slit, m = +1 and for the first minimum below the slit, m = -1. So, y₁ =  λD/d and y₋₁ =  -λD/d. So, the width of the central maximum Δy is the difference between the first minima below and above the central maximum. So, Δy = y₁ - y₋₁ = λD/d -(-λD/d) = 2λD/d

Substituting the values from above, Δy= 2 × 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ × 1.65/4.4 × 10⁻⁴ =  3900 × 10⁻⁶ m = 3.9 × 10⁻³ m = 3.9 mm

b. The first order fringe is the fringe located between the first minimum and the second minimum. From dsinθ = mλ and tanθ = y/D when θ is small, sinθ ≈ θ ≈ tanθ. So, y = mλD/d. Let m= 1 and m=2 be the first and second minima respectively. So,y₁ =  λD/d and y₂ =  2λD/d. The difference Δy₁ = y₂ - y₁ is the width of the first order fringe. Therefore, Δy₁ = 2λD/d - λD/d= λD/d. Substituting the values from above, we have

λD/d= 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ × 1.65/4.4 × 10⁻⁴= 1.95 × 10⁻³ m = 1.95 mm

What mass of a material with density rho is required to make a hollow spherical shell having inner radius r1 and outer radius r2
Margarita [4]

Answer:

m=\rho\times \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times(r_2^3-r_1^3  )

Explanation:

  • We have to make a hollow sphere of inner  radius r_1 and outer radius r_2.

Then the mass of the material required to make such a sphere would be calculated as:

Total volume of the spherical shell:

V_t=\frac{4}{3} \pi.r_2^3

And the volume of the hollow space in the sphere:

V_h=\frac{4}{3} \pi.r_1^3

Therefore the net volume of material required to make the sphere:

V=V_t-V_h

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi(r_2^3-r_1^3)

  • Now let the density of the of the material be \rho.

<u>Then the mass of the material used is:</u>

m=\rho.V

m=\rho\times \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times(r_2^3-r_1^3  )

Should nuclear energy be part of sustainable energy future? explain your answer
liraira [26]

Answer:

Nuclear power is presently a sustainable energy source, but could become completely renewable if the source of uranium changed from mined ore to seawater. Since U extracted is continuously replenished through geologic processes, nuclear would become as endless as solar.
