The correct graph is D.

The graph A 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!

A 2400-kg satellite is in a circular orbitaround a planet. The

Fofino [41]

Answer

given,

mass of satellite = 2400 Kg

speed of the satellite = 6.67 x 10³ m/s

acceleration of satellite = ?

gravitational force of the satellite will be equal to the centripetal force

$F = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$F = \dfrac{2400\times (6.67\times 10^3)^2}{r}$

Assuming the radius of circular orbit = 8.92 x 10⁶ m

now,

$F = \dfrac{2400\times (6.67\times 10^3)^2}{8.92\times 10^6}$

F = 11970.11 N

acceleration,

$a = \dfrac{F}{m}$

$a = \dfrac{11970.11}{2400}$

a = 4.98 m/s²

How does a solenoid convert energy from one form to another?

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

A solenoid is a device comprised of a coil of wire, the housing and a moveable plunger (armature). When an electrical current is introduced, a magnetic field forms around the coil which draws the plunger in. More simply, a solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical work.

Explanation:

The coil is made of many turns of tightly wound copper wire. When an electrical current flows through this wire, a strong magnetic field/flux is created.

The housing, usually made of iron or steel, surrounds the coil concentrating the magnetic field generated by the coil.

The plunger is attracted to the stop through the concentration of the magnetic field providing the mechanical force to do work.

You are playing a speed-based card game with your 64-year-old grandfather. The object of the game is to get rid of your cards as

Masteriza [31]

Now, you always beat him. Your grandfather is likely experiencing a slight decline in perceptual speed.

Explanation:

The speed of perception refers to the capacity to accurately (and completely) compare words letter, digits, objects, images, etc. When testing, these objects can be displayed simultaneously or one after the other. This type of test can be included in the proficiency test.

For example, we have also seen all the puzzles that ask the reader to notice the differences between the two pictures. The time it takes to recognize these differences is a measure of the speed of perception. Likewise, in getting rid of cards at the given situation, grandfather experiences a less decline in his perceptual speed.
