Answer:

The absolute value of the slope of a position-time graph.

Explanation:

The slope in a time position graph is the derivative of the position with respect to time.

This derivative of the position with respect to time is what is known as velocity, which is a vector quantity.

Speed is the absolute value of velocity, since it is a scalar quantity, it has no sign and no direction.

So the correct answer is that speed is the absolute value of the slope in a graph of position and time.

Answer:

Instantaneous velocity is equal to speed of the object at that particular instant.

Explanation:

Instantaneous velocity is the velocity of the object at that particular instant. It is also equal to speed of the object at that instant. It can be calculated by drawing a tangent to the position-time graph at that point and finding the tangent’s slope.

The first option ‘The ratio of change in position to the time interval during that change’ gives the average velocity of an object and not speed. Similarly the second option ‘the absolute value of the slope of position time graph’ gives the average speed.

A guitarist finds that the pitch of one of her strings is slightly flat—the frequency is a bit too low. Should she increase or d

Yuri [45]

Answer:

The guitarist should increase the tension of the string.

Explanation:

The frequency of a vibrating string is determined by fn=(n/(2L))√T/μ. So if the tension in the string increased, the rate at which it vibrates (the frequency) will also increase.

Therefore it is advisable that she increase the tension of the string.

If a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the object's velocity is a linear function of time.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

$F=mkv$

Explanation:

Given that

$v = v_i - kx$

We know that acceleration a given as

$a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

$v = v_i - kx$

$\dfrac{dv}{dt}=\dfrac{dv_i}{dt}-k\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dv}{dt}=0-k\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

We know that

$F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

$F=-mk\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$F=-mkv$

So the magnitude of force F

$F=mkv$

Which two components must a vector quantity

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

d. Direction and magnitude

Explanation:

The two components of a vector are its magnitude and direction.

Magnitude is the quantity of the substance

Direction is the path.

Other quantities are called scalar quantities.
Scalar quantities have only magnitude but no direction.

Examples of vector quantities are velocity, displacement, acceleration.

Do frictional forces act in the same direction or in the opposite direction to the applied force?

Evgesh-ka [11]

Frictional forces act in the direction opposite to the MOTION. That direction could be the same OR opposite to applied force.

-- If you push a loaded heavy wagon from behind, trying to get it going faster, friction is acting against you, opposite to your force.

-- If you push a loaded rolling heavy wagon from in front, trying to make it slow down, friction is acting with you, in the same direction as your force.

-- Opposite to the motion both times.
