How can you tell when an object changes direction on velocity vs time graph

On velocity vs time graphs, if an object's velocity goes from positive to negative, or negative to positive, then it has changed directions.

A positive velocity means the object is traveling in the positive direction and a negative velocity would mean it has turned around and begun traveling in the opposite, or negative direction.

In my opinion, that is one humungously fantastic question, that is not asked nearly often enough.

The answer is:. You can't ! None of the so-called "velocity/time" graphs shows any information about the direction of the motion, and there's no way to tell if it changes, from the graph.

There's no difference between the "velocity" graphs of an object in straight-line motion with constant speed, and another object in uniform circular motion. Both graphs are horizontal lines.

A "velocity" graph can't show direction OR displacement, and the way I see it, such a graph is not entitled to use the 5-dollar word 'velocity' at all. It is simply a graph of SPEED vs time, and no more.

So there !

An entrepreneur would like their customers to come back, with this the customer service must be good. The owner’s workers must be kind & fair to the consumers. However good your product or service is, the simple truth is that no-one will buy it if they don't want it or believe they don't need it. And you won't persuade anyone that they want or need to buy what you're offering unless you clearly understand what it is your customers really want.

Knowing and understanding customer needs is at the centre of every successful business, whether it sells directly to individuals or other businesses. Once you have this knowledge, you can use it to persuade potential and existing customers that buying from you is in their best interests.

This guide tells you what you need to know about your customers, how to use this information to sell to them more effectively, and how to win business from your competitors.

An airplane travels at 300 mi/h south for 2.00 h and then at 250 mi/h north for 750 miles. What is the average speed for the tri
Anettt [7]

Answer:

270 mi/h

Explanation:

Given that,

To the south,

v₁ = 300 mi/h, t₁ = 2 h

We can find distance, d₁

d_1=v_1\times t_1\\\\d_1=300\times 2\\\\d_1=600\ \text{miles}

To the north,

v₂ = 250 mi/h, d₂ = 750 miles

We can find time, t₂

t_2=\dfrac{d_2}{v_2}\\\\t_2=\dfrac{750\ \text{miles}}{250\ \text{mi/h}}\\\\t_2=3\ h

Now,

Average speed = total distance/total time

V=\dfrac{d_1+d_2}{t_1+t_2}\\\\V=\dfrac{600+750}{2+3}\\\\V=270\ \text{mi/h}

Hence, the average speed for the trip is 270 mi/h.
