What does the slope of a secant line represent

Physics
1 answer:
blsea [12.9K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Secant line is a straight line which joins the two points of functions and it also represents the slope between two points.

Explanation:

Secant line is also known as average rate of change of functions between two points and also called slope.

In mathematical form,

Secant line = average rate of change = slope

Slope m = y/x

Gaseous helium is in thermal equilibrium with liquid helium at 6.4 K. The mass of a helium atom is 6.65 × 10−27 kg and Boltzmann
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

162.78 m/s is the most probable speed of a helium atom.

Explanation:

The most probable speed:

v_{mp}=\sqrt{\frac{2K_bT}{m}}

K_b= Boltzmann’s constant =1.38066\times 10^{-23} J/K

T = temperature of the gas

m = mass of the gas particle.

Given, m = 6.65\times 10^{-27} kg

T = 6.4 K

Substituting all the given values :

v_{mp}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.38066\times 10^{-23} J/K\times 6.4 K}{6.65\times 10^{-27} kg}}

v_{mp}=162.78 m/s

162.78 m/s is the most probable speed of a helium atom.

You took a running leap off a high diving platform. You were running at 3.1 m/s and hit the water 2.4 seconds later. How high wa
rusak2 [61]

The distance you free-fall from rest is  D = (1/2) (g) (T²) <== memorize this

Height of the platform = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (2.4 sec)²

Height = (4.9 m/s²) (5.76 s²)

Height = (4.9/5.76) meters

Height = 28.2 meters (a VERY high platform ... about 93 ft off the water !)

Without air-resistance, your horizontal speed doesn't change.  It's constant.  Traveling 3.1 m/s for 2.4 sec, you cover (3.1 m/s x 2/4 s) = 7.4 m horizontally.

Adding heat to a liquid causes which of the following physical changes?
SashulF [63]

In almost every case in nature, adding heat to a liquid
causes the density of the liquid to decrease.  That is,
when the liquid gets warmer, it expands and occupies
more space.

The one big exception to this rule is water ! 

Starting with a block of ice at zero°C (32°F), as the ice melts,
becomes water at zero°C, and all the way to 4°C (about 39°F),
its density increases all the way.   That is, it shrinks and occupies
less
volume as it goes from ice at zero°C to water at 4°C.

This sounds like an interesting but insignificant quirk ... until
you realize that if water didn't do this, then life on Earth would
be impossible !
