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!

What is the period (in hours) of a satellite circling Mars 100 km above the planet's surface? The mass of Mars is 6.42 × 1023 kg
scZoUnD [109]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Centrifugal Force and the Gravitational Force. Since there is balance on the body these two Forces will be equal, mathematically they can be expressed as

F_c = F_g

\frac{mv^2}{r} = \frac{GmM}{r^2}

Where,

m = Mass

G =Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of the Planet

r = Distance/Radius

Re-arrange to find the velocity we have,

v^2 = \frac{GM}{r}

At the same time we know that the period is equivalent in terms of the linear velocity to,

T = \frac{2\pi}{\frac{v}{r}}

v = \frac{2\pi r}{T}

If our values are that the radius of mars is 3400 km and the distance above the planet is 100km more, i.e, 3500km we have,

v^2 = \frac{GM}{r}

( \frac{2\pi r}{T})^2 =  \frac{GM}{r}

T = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2 r^3}{GM}}

Replacing we have,

T = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi^2 (3500*10^3)^3}{(6.67430*10^{-11})(6.42*10^23)}}

T = 6285.09s (\frac{1min}{60s})(\frac{1hour}{60min})

T= 1.74hour

Therefore the correct answer is C.

Determine the COP. for this thermodynamic refrigerator
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The efficiency of a refrigerator is defined in the terms of coefficient of performance (COP).

The ratio of amount of heat in cold reservoir to the work done is termed as the COP.

COP = QL / W

COP = T2 / (T1 - T2)

Where, T1 be the temperature of hot reservoir, T2 be the temperature of cold reservoir.

Braddy connected the loose wire to the battery and created an electromagnet. He picked up 45 thumb tacks with his electromagnet,
Katarina [22]

Answer:

C) Use two batteries instead of one.

Explanation:

-Strength of an electromagnet depends on the electrical current which flows through the wires.

-Two batteries have a higher current than one and thus higher strength in the electromagnet.
