The y-intercept of a position-time graph of an object gives the average velocity of the object.

Physics

<em>The y-intercept of a position-time graph of an object gives the average velocity of the object is False.</em>

<u>Answer:</u> <em>False. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The initial position of the object can be obtained by calculating the Y intercept of  a position-time graph.  In a position-time graph, the independent  variable is time  and dependent variable is position. Y axis is the position axis and x axis is the time axis.

The equation of the graph is given by y =mx + c. m is the slope of the graph and c is the y intercept. When a particle starts from the origin its y intercept is zero.

The nature of the graph gives us an idea about velocity. When the velocity is positive, the position- time graph has positive slope and when the velocity is positive the graph has negative slope.

Rays of light coming from the sun (a very distant object) are near and parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror. After
Setler [38]

A concave mirror is an example of curved mirrors. So that the appropriate answer to the given question is option D. The rays will cross at the focal point.

A concave mirror is a type of mirror in which its inner part is the reflecting surface, while its outer part is the back of the mirror.  This mirror reflects all parallel rays close to the principal axis to a point of convergence. It can also be referred to as the converging mirror.

In this type of mirror, all rays of light parallel to the principal axis of the mirror after reflection will cross at the focal point.

Therefore, the required answer to the given question is option D. i.e The rays will cross at the focal point.

A college student holds a pail full of water by the handle and whirls it around in a vertical circle at a constant speed. The ra
Pavlova-9 [17]

The minimum speed of the water must be 3.4 m/s

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the water in the pail when it is at the top of its circular motion:

  • The force of gravity, mg, acting downward (where m is the mass of the water and g the acceleration of gravity)
  • The normal reaction, N also acting downward

Since the water is in circular motion, the net force must be equal to the centripetal force, so:

N+mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}

Where:

g=9.8 m/s^2

v is the speed of the pail

r = 1.2 m is the radius of the circle

The water starts to spill out when the normal reaction of the pail becomes zero:

N = 0

When this occurs, the equation becomes:

mg=m\frac{v^2}{r}\\v=\sqrt{gr}

And substitutin the values of g and r, we find the minimum speed that the water must have in order not to spill out:

v=\sqrt{(9.8)(1.2)}=3.4 m/s

If a microwave oven produces electromagnetic waves with a frequency of 2.30 ghz, what is their wavelength?
vovikov84 [41]

Answer: wavelength is 1.30 \times 10^8 nm.

The frequency of the microwave is, f = 2.30 GHz.

To Find frequency use the formula:

c=fλ

Where, c is the speed of electromagnetic wave or light. f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength of light.

Rearranging, \lambda = \frac{c}{f}

Plug in the values,

\lambdam = \frac{3 \times 10^8 m/s}{2.30 GHz\frac{10^9 Hz}{1 GHz}}=0.130 m\frac{10^9 nm}{1 m} = 1.30 \times 10^8 nm.

A large grinding wheel in the shape of a solid cylinder of radius 0.330 m is free to rotate on a frictionless, vertical axle. a
USPshnik [31]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Let I = the moment of inertia of the wheel.
α = 0.81 rad/s², the angular acceleration
r = 0.33 m, the radius of the weel
F = 260 N, the applied tangential force

The applied torque is
T = F*r
   = (260 N)*(0.33 m)
   = 85.8 N-m

By definition,
T = I*α

Therefore,
I = T/α
  = (85.8 N-m)/(0.81 rad/s²)
  = 105.93 kg-m²

Answer: 105.93 kg-m²

What do measurements of the number of neutrinos emitted by the Sun tell us about conditions deep in the solar interior?
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

The neutrinos are produced in the core of the sun by nuclear fusion and measuring their number helps us confirm that there are enough proton-proton chain reactions of each which produce a neutrino and going on in the Sun's core to explain the energy output of the Sun.
