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

VARVARA [1.3K]3 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.

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer: 0.512 kgm²

Explanation:

Given

Force, F = 2*10^3 N

Angular acceleration, α = 121 rad/s²

Lever arm, r(⊥) = 3.1 cm = 3.1*10^-2 m

τ = r(⊥) * F

Also,

τ = Iα

Using the first equation, we have

τ = r(⊥) * F

τ = 0.031 * 2*10^3

τ = 62 Nm

Now we calculate for the inertia using the second equation

τ = Iα, making I subject of formula, we have

I = τ / α, on substituting, we have

I = 62 / 121

I = 0.512 kgm²

Thus, the moment of inertia of the boxers forearm is 0.512 kgm²

At a constant temperature, the volume of a gas doubles when the pressure is reduced to half of its original value. This is a sta
djyliett [7]

Answer: Boyle’s law

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}     (At constant temperature and number of moles)

As pressure is decreased to half, the volume is increased to doubled.

Charles' Law: This law states that volume is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

V\propto T     (At constant pressure and number of moles)

Gay-Lussac's Law: This law states that pressure is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.

P\propto T     (At constant volume and number of moles)

Combined gas Law: combining the three laws:

PV\propto T
