Name the physical quantity measured by the velocity-time graph?

VARVARA [1.3K]2 years ago

The so-called "velocity-time" graph is actually a "speed-time" graph.  At any point
on it, the 'x'-coordinate is a time, and the 'y'-coordinate is the speed at that time.

'Velocity' is a speed AND a direction.  Without a direction, you do not have a velocity,
and these graphs never show the direction of the motion.  It seems to me that it would be
pretty tough to draw a graph that shows the direction of motion at every instant of time,
so my take is that you'll never see a true "velocity-time" graph. 

At best, it would need a second line on it, whose 'y'-coordinate referred to a second
axis, calibrated in angle and representing the 'bearing' or 'heading' of the motion at
each instant. The graph of uniform circular motion, for example, would have a straight
horizontal line for speed, and a 'sawtooth' wave for direction.

A major difference between radio waves, visible light, and gamma rays is the ____ of the photons, which results in the different
olga2289 [7]
The sentence can be completed as follows:
"<span>A major difference between radio waves, visible light, and gamma rays is the energy of the photons, which results in the different photon frequencies and wavelengths."

In fact, gamma rays have greater energy than visible light and visible light has greater energy than radio waves. The energy E of a photon is related to its frequency, f, by
</span>E=hf
<span>where h is the Planck constant. We see from this formula that the higher the frequency, the greater the energy. Instead, the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency:
</span>\lambda= \frac{c}{f}
<span>where c is the speed of light. Since the frequency is directly proportional to the energy, this means that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the energy.</span>

The magnitude of Earth’s magnetic field is about 0.5 gauss near Earth’s surface. What’s the maximum possible magnetic force on a
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

F = 1.5 \times 10^{-16} N

this force is 1.68 \times 10^{13} times more than the gravitational force

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy of the electron is given as

KE = 1 keV

KE = 1 \times 10^3 (1.6 \times 10^{-19}) J

KE = 1.6 \times 10^{-16} J

now the speed of electron is given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

v = \sqrt{\frac{2 KE}{m}}

v = 1.87 \times 10^7 m/s

now the maximum force due to magnetic field is given as

F = qvB

F = (1.6\times 10^{-19})(1.87 \times 10^7)(0.5 \times 10^{-4})

F = 1.5 \times 10^{-16} N

Now if this force is compared by the gravitational force on the electron then it is

\frac{F}{F_g} = \frac{1.5 \times 10^{-16}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31} (9.8)}

\frac{F}{F_g} = 1.68 \times 10^{13}

so this force is 1.68 \times 10^{13} times more than the gravitational force

A shaving or makeup mirror is designed to magnify your face by a factor of 1.40 when your face is placed 20.0cm in front of it
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

(a) convex mirror

(b) virtual and magnified

(c) 23.3 cm

Explanation:

The having mirror is convex mirror.

distance of object, u = - 20 cm

magnification, m = 1.4

(a) As the image is magnified and virtual , so the mirror is convex in nature.

(b) The image is virtual and magnified.

(c) Let the distance of image is v.

Use the formula of magnification.

m =-\frac{v}{u}\\1.4=-\frac{v}{-20}\\v =28 cm

Use the mirror equation, let the focal length is f.

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}+\frac{1}{u}\\\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{28}+\frac{1}{20}\\\frac{1}{f}=\frac{28+20}{560}\\f=11.67cm

Radius of curvature, R = 2 f = 2 x 11.67 = 23.3 cm

A particle moves along a straight path through a displacement d = 2.5i + cj while a force F = 8.5i + -8.5j acts on it. The displ
Zanzabum

Answer:

Explanation:

Work is defined as the scalar product of force and distance

W=F•d

Given that

F = 8.5i + -8.5j. +×-=-

F=8.5i-8.5j

d = 2.5i + cj

If the work in the practice is zero, then W=0

therefore,

W=F•ds

0=F•ds

0=(8.5i -8.5j)•(2.5i + cj)

Note that

i.i=j.j=k.k=1

i.j=j.i=k.i=i.k=j.k=k.j=0

So applying this

0=(8.5i -8.5j)•(2.5i + cj)

0= (8.5×2.5i.i + 8.5×ci.j -8.5×2.5j.i-8.5×cj.j)

0=21.25-8.5c

Therefore,

8.5c=21.25

c=21.25/8.5

c=2.5
