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

Physics
1 answer:
adoni [48]4 years ago
7 0

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.

Absolute zero (K=0 or -273.15°C) is what temperature on the Farenheit scale? a) 459.4°F b) -301.43 °F c) 233.05°F d) -40.15°F e
ANEK [815]

Answer:

e) None of these is true

Explanation:

Given that

Temperature = 0 K

We know that relationship between kelvin and Farenheit scale

\dfrac{K-273}{100}=\dfrac{F-32}{180}

Now by putting the values

\dfrac{K-273}{100}=\dfrac{F-32}{180}

\dfrac{0-273}{100}=\dfrac{F-32}{180}

So F= - 459.67°F

So we can say that 0 K is equal to  - 459.67°F.

So the our option e is correct.

What is the temperature of a system in thermal equilibrium with another system made up of water and steam at one atmosphere of p
Evgen [1.6K]

Full Question:

What is the temperature of a system in thermal equilibrium with another system made up of water and steam at one atmosphere of pressure?

A) 0°F

B) 273 K

C) 0 K

D) 100°C

E) 273°C

Answer:

The correction Option is D) 100°C

Explanation:

The temperature above is referred to as the critical point.

it is the highest temperature and pressure at which water (which has three phases - liquid, solid, and gas) can exist in vapor/liquid equilibrium. If the temperature goes higher than 100 degrees celsius, it cannot remain is liquid form regardless of what the pressure is at that point.

There is also a condition under which water can exist in its three forms: that is  

- Ice (solid)

- Liquid (fluid)

- Gas (vapor)

That state is called <em>triple point. </em>The conditions necessary for that to occur are:

  • 273.1600 K (0.0100 °C; 32.0180 °F)  as temperature and
  • 611.657 pascals (6.11657 mbar; 0.00603659 atm) as pressure

A 1 900-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 4.00 m before coming into contact
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

471392.4 N

Explanation:

From the question,

Just before contact with the beam,

mgh = Fd.................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the beam, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height. F =  average Force on the beam, d = distance.

make f the subject of the equation

F = mgh/d................ Equation 2

Given: m = 1900 kg, h = 4 m, d = 15.8 = 0.158 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

F = 1900(4)(9.8)/0.158

F = 471392.4 N

A tree is standing in the middle of a meadow. As you watch, the wind begins
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

B) The tree was stationary and began to move.

Explanation:

This situation can be explained by using Newton's first law of motion, which states that

"An object at rest (or in motion at constant velocity) stays at rest (or in motion at constant velocity) unless a net non-zero force is exerted on it"

This means that an object at rest can start moving if and only if there is a net non-zero force acting on it.

In the example in the problem, the tree is initially stationary. Later, it started to move. According to Newton's first law, therefore, there must be a net force that caused this change of state of motion of the tree. Therefore, the correct answer is

B) The tree was stationary and began to move.

A teacher did an experiment to show the movement of particles in solids, liquids, and gases. The experimental set-up is shown be
ELEN [110]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In a solid, molecules are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. As a result, they are unable to move from their initial place but they can vibrate at their mean position.

Hence, in solid substances the molecules have low kinetic energy.

Whereas in liquids, the molecules are held by less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to solids. Due to which they are able to slide past each other. Hence, they have medium kinetic energy.

In gases, the molecules are held by weak Vander waal forces. Hence, they have high kinetic energy due to which they move rapidly from one place to another leading to more number of collisions.

Hence, gases are able to expand more rapidly as compared to liquids.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options solid = low; liquid = medium; gas = high, combination of the state of matter and the corresponding dryer speed is correct.
