What is a horizontal segment meaning on a position vs. time graph?

Physics
1 answer:
sergeinik [125]3 years ago

The velocity of the object is zero (the object is at rest)

Explanation:

A position vs time graph represents the motion of an object; in particular:

  • The position of the object x(t) is represented on the y-axis
  • The time t is represented on the x-axis

For a position-time graph, the slope of the graph is given by

m=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta x is the change in position

\Delta t is the change in time

However, we see that this is equivalent to the definition of velocity:

v=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

Therefore, the slope of  a position-time graph is equivalent to the velocity of the object.

And so, a horizontal segment on a position vs time graph means that the object has zero velocity (because the slope is zero).

When dots are placed on a page from a laser printer, they must be close enough so that you do not see the individual dots of ink
Dovator [93]

Answer:

 y <8 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

For this exercise, they indicate that we use the Raleigh criterion that establishes that two luminous objects are separated when the maximum diffraction of one of them coincides with the first minimum of the other.

 Therefore the diffraction equation for slits with m = 1 remains

             a sin θ = λ

in general these experiments occur for oblique angles so

             sin θ = θ

             θ = λ / a

in the case of circular openings we must use polar coordinates to solve the problem, the solution includes a numerical constant

           θ = 1.22 λ / a

The angles in these measurements are taken in radians, therefore

          θ = s / R

as the angle is small the arc approaches the distance s = y

          y / R = 1.22 λ / s

          y = 1.22 λ R / a

let's calculate

            y = 1.22 500 10⁻⁹ 0.42 / 0.032

            y = 8 10⁻⁶ m

with this separation the points are resolved according to the Raleigh criterion, so that it is not resolved (separated)

                 y <8 10⁻⁶ m

Which is the result of mitosis and cytokinesis?
Leno4ka [110]
During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of the cell is divided in half, and the cell membrane grows to enclose each cell, forming two separate cells as a result. The end result of mitosis and cytokinesis is two genetically identical cells where only one cell existed before.
