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

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.

Which of the following statements correctly describes the position of the intake and exhaust valves during most of the power sta
I am Lyosha [343]

Both valves are closed during the power stroke.

While the fuel is burning in the cylinder, you want
all the force of the expanding gases to push the
piston down ... you don't want any of the gases
or their pressure escaping. 

If either of the valves was open, even just a crack,
then part of the gases would go blooey out the valve,
and some pressure would be lost that's supposed to be
pushing the piston.

If you exert 250J of work onto a lever that is 5m long, what amount of force are you applying?
maks197457 [2]
From the formula of W = F·d , becuase we have the values for W and d we can find F

W = F·d 
F= W/d
  = 250/5
  = 50 N

40 N of force was applied

How much power does it take to lift a 30.0 n box 10.0 m high in 5.00 s, if you must apply a 62n force to lift the box?
Illusion [34]
Power is defined as the rate at which the body is doing work:
P=\frac{W}{t}
Work is defined as displacement done by the force times that displacement:
W=F\cdot h
We know that we need 62N to move the box, so when we apply this force along the path of 10m we have done:
W=62N\cdot10m=620J
of work.
Now we just divide that by 5s to get how much power is required:
P=\frac{620J}{5s}=124W
