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.

A geologist sees a fault along which blocks of rock in the footwall have moved higher relative to blocks of rock in the hanging
Luda [366]

Answer: Normal fault

Explanation:

The type of fault that is explained above is a normal fault. We should note that normal faults typically takes place in a divergent boundary in a scenario where the crusts may have been pulled apart.

Since the crust is pulled apart in this case, it leads to the downward movement of the hanging wall which leads to the football being above the hanging wall.

Plants make energy. Some of it they use to preform the necessary functions of living. What do they do with the excess energy?
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

They can use it for when they are dormant in the winter or to grow more sources for storing and creating energy, or they store the energy (this energy would be considered stored energy).

As an intern with an engineering firm, you are asked to measure the moment of inertia of a large wheel, for rotation about an ax
AysviL [449]

Answer:

I=2.766\ kg.m^2

Explanation:

We have:

diameter of the wheel, d=0.88\ m

weight of the wheel, w_w=280\ N

mass of hanging object to the wheel, m_o=6.32\ kg

speed of the hanging mass after the descend, v_o=4\ m.s^{-1}

height of descend, h=2.5\ m

(a)

moment of inertia of wheel about its central axis:

I=\frac{1}{2} m.r^2

I=\frac{1}{2} \frac{w_w}{g}.r^2

I=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{280}{9.8}\times 0.44^2

I=2.766\ kg.m^2
