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 !

NO net force is required to keep a moving object moving in a straight
line at a constant speed.  In fact, if you apply ANY force to it, in ANY
direction, then its speed, its direction, or both must change, and its
velocity won't be uniform any more. 

I know we never see this in our daily life.  Whenever we see an object
moving, it always stops.  That's because the net force on it is never zero ...
there's always some gravity or some friction acting on it.  That's what you
have to put up with when you live on Earth.

Energy is transmitted only in indivisible discrete quantities. True or False
alex41 [277]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

From the fact that light is emitted in portion, it does not follow that light ray is discrete in structure.

The way Einstein put it was that if a beer is always sold in pint bottles, that does not mean that beer contain of indivisible pint bottles. Yet experiments in which light  knocked electrons out of materials insistently made the point that light is absorbed only in the form of discrete portions. An emitted portion or quantum of light energy retains it's individuality in subsequent events as well.

This concept was first stated by Einstein in 1905. From the heuristic point of view that he developed light is always made up of discrete portions possessing energy and momentum.

A 35.0-cm-diameter circular loop is rotated in a uniform electric field until the position of maximum electric flux is found. Th
MAVERICK [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept of Electric Flow, which is understood as the product between the Area and the electric field. For the data defined by the area, we will use the geometric measurement of the area in a circle (By the characteristics of the object) This area will be equivalent to,

\phi = 35 cm

r = 17.5 cm = 0.175 m

A = \pi r^2 = \pi (0.175)^2 = 0.09621m^2

Applying the concept of electric flow we have to

\Phi = EA

Replacing,

5.42*10^5N \cdot m^2/C = E (0.09621m^2)

E = 5.6335*10^6N/C

Therefore the magnitude of the electric field is 5.6335*10^6N/C
