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.

What is the Scientific definition of friction?
seropon [69]
Friction<span> is the resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another. It is not a fundamental force, like gravity or electromagnetism. Instead, scientists believe it is the result of the electromagnetic attraction between charged particles in two touching surfaces.
Hope this is of great help to you, and happy studying~!

Andreyy89

Answer:

3.6ft

Explanation:

Using= 2*π*sqrt(L/32)

To solve for L, first move 2*n over:

T/(2*π) = sqrt(L/32)

Next,eliminate the square root by squaring both sides

(T/(2*π))2 = L/32

or

T2/(4π2) = L/32

Lastly, multiply both sides by 32 to yield:

32T2/(4π2) = L

and simplify:

8T²/π²= L

Hence, L(T) = 8T²/π²

But T = 2.1

Pi= 3.14

8(2.1)²/3.14²

35.28/9.85

= 3.6feet

What causes the bright lines seen in the emission spectrum?
Snezhnost [94]
Base in your questions that ask what cause the bright lines seen in the emission spectrum and i think the best answer to that is the H2 gas is used when protons was heated so the electron absorb all the photons and get exited and resulted by given of a light.
