Explain the relationship between speed and steepness of the slope of the line on the distance-versus-time graph

Physics
1 answer:
balandron [24]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

A distance-versus-time graph gives the distance an object has traveled after a given time.

In a distance-versus-time graph the slope represents the the speed of the object because rise/run is

  \frac{\Delta distance }{\Delta time}=speed.

And how steep the slope of the distance-versus-time graph is tells us how fast an object is moving; steeper the slope greater the speed. For example, a graph with slope 10 represents a greater speed than a graph with slope 2.

So the steepness of the slope of the distance-versus-time is the speed of the object, and greater the slope greater is the speed.

Which one has more thermal energy?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

a bathtub full of warm water

Explanation:

Even though the water in a filled bathtub may be at the same temperature as water in a teacup, the water in the bathtub has more thermal energy because it contains a greater number of water molecules.

A rocket sled for testing equipment under large accelerations starts at rest and accelerates according to the expression a = (3.
mash [69]

Answer:

9.6 m

Explanation:

This is a  case of motion under variable acceleration . So no law of motion formula will be applicable here. We shall have to integrate the given equation .

a = 3.6 t + 5.6

d²x / dt² = 3.6 t + 5.6

Integrating on both sides

dx /dt = 3.6 t² / 2 + 5.6 t + c

where c is a constant.

dx /dt = 1.8  t²  + 5.6 t + c

when t = 0 , velocity dx /dt is zero

Putting these values in the equation above

0 = 0 +0 + c

c = 0

dx /dt = 1.8  t²  + 5.6 t

Again integrating on both sides

x = 1.8 t³ / 3 + 5.6 x t² /2 + c₁

x = 0.6 t³  + 2.8  t²  + c₁

when t =0,  x = 0

c₁ = 0

x = 0.6 t³  + 2.8  t²  

when t = 1.6

x = .6 x 1.6³ + 2.8 x 1.6²

= 2.4576 + 7.168

= 9.6256

A Hertzsprung-Russel diagram is shown. Which stars are best characterized as having high temperatures and low luminosities?
guapka [62]

White dwarfs

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hertzsprung-Russel graph is a 2-dimensional graph, plotting star’s luminosity against temperature they emit.

White dwarfs are the star exhibiting high temperatures and low luminosities. These stars are extremely dense and mass comparable to that of the sun.

The main cause of low luminosities in the absence of fusion reaction inside the core of the star. Faint luminosity is provided by the thermal energy of the star. They are considered to be in the final stage of evolution having masses in the range of 10 solar mass (hence not enough to form a star)
