How can you tell when an object changes direction on a displacement vs. time graph

Physics

adoni [48]3 years ago

Answer:

You can see it looking at the slope of the curve.

Explanation:

The slope of the curve its displacement / time, so its the celerity of the object. Now, when the object change direction of its movement, its must change the direction on which its moving, by definition. So, if the object is first getting away from its starting position, you will see its displacement grow, and the slope will be positive (or negative, it depends of the direction you put an positive displacement) Now, when its change position, the displacement will start to shrink, and the slope of the curve will be negative (or positive). To find out the exact moment in which the object changes direction, you can just look at when the slope its equal to zero. If the slope goes from positive to negative, or viceversa, it must pass by zero, the exact momento the object change direction.

Why do some scientists not use controlled experiments?
Leviafan [203]
Observational studies are a prime example. Observational data is more reflective of the real environments that scientists make their inferences to than controlled experiments. The disadvantage of observational studies is that the variability is far greater. <span />

A 50.0 kg student climbs 5.00m up a rope at a constant speed. If the student's power output is 200.0 W, how long does it take th
hammer [34]

Answer:

The time taken by the student to climb is 12.25 seconds and work done is 2450 J.            

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the student, m = 50 kg

The student climbs to a height of 5 meters at a constant speed.

The student's power output is 200.0 W, P = 200 W

The power of an object is given by work done divided by time taken. So,

P=\dfrac{W}{t}

(b) W is work done,

W=mgh\\\\W=50\times 9.8\times 5\\\\W=2450\ J

(b)

t=\dfrac{W}{P}\\\\t=\dfrac{2450}{200}\\\\t=12.25\ s

So, the time taken by the student to climb is 12.25 seconds and work done is 2450 J.

The peak value of the ac current in a circuit is 6.0 A, and peak value of the ac voltage applied to the circuit is 7.1 V. What i
MissTica

Answer : The average power delivered to the circuit is, 42.6 watt

Explanation :

The relation between power, voltage and current is:

P=I\times V

where,

P = power of circuit = ?

I = current = 6.0 A

V = voltage = 7.1 V

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the average power delivered to the circuit.

P=6.0A\times 7.1V

P=42.6watt

Thus, the average power delivered to the circuit is, 42.6 watt
