<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.

A pet-store supply truck moves at 25.0 m/s north along a highway. inside, a dog moves at 1.75 m/s at an angle of 35.0Â° east of

koban [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 26.04 m/s 3.15⁰ north of east.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let the east point towards positive X-axis and north point towards positive Y-axis.

Speed of truck = 25 m/s north = 25 j m/s

Speed of dog = 1.75 m/s at an angle of 35.0° east of north = (1.75 cos 35 i + 1.75 sin 35 j)m/s

= (1.43 i + 1.00 j) m/s

Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 25 j + 1.43 i + 1.00 j = 1.43 i + 26.00 j

Magnitude of velocity = 26.04 m/s

Angle from positive horizontal axis = 86.85⁰

So Velocity of the dog relative to the road = 26.04 m/s 86.85⁰ east of north = 26.04 m/s 3.15⁰ north of east.

A 0.49-kg cord is stretched between two supports,7.3m apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave travels d

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

T= 5.18N

Explanation:

u = mass of chord / length of chord

u = 0.49/ 7.3

u = 0.067 kg/m

Velocity of sound waves (v) =length of chord / time taken for wave to travel

v = 7.3 / 0.83 = 8.795m/s

Tension is calculated below using the formula

T = v² * u

T = (8.795)² x 0.067

T= 5.18N

A bag of cement has a mass of 62 g. What is the mass of the bag of cement in S.I. units (kg)?

NNADVOKAT [17]

The mass of this bag of cement in S.I. units (kg) is equal to 0.062 kilograms.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Mass of cement = 62 grams.

To calculate the mass of this bag of cement in S.I. units (kg):

<h3>How to convert to S.I. units.</h3>

In Science, kilograms (kg) is the standard unit of measurement or S.I. units of the mass of a physical object. Thus, we would convert the value of the mass of this bag of cement in grams to kilograms (kg) as follows:

<u>Conversion:</u>

1000 grams = 1 kilograms.

62 grams = X kilograms.

Cross-multiplying, we have:

X = $\frac{62}{1000}$
