The slope on a distance-time graph shows a ball moving from 20 m to 40 m in 1 s and from 40 m to 80 m in the next second

Slope in the first second: 20 m/s

Slope in the next second: 40 m/s

Average slope: 30 m/s

Explanation:

On a distance-time graph, the slope of the curve represents the speed of the object.

In fact, we have:

  • The distance covered is the change in the y-variable, so \Delta y
  • The time elapsed is the change in the x-variable, so \Delta x

Speed is the ratio between distance and time, therefore

speed = \frac{distance}{time}=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}

which corresponds to the slope of the line.

In this problem, we have a ball moving from 20 m to 40 m in 1 s, so

distance = 40-20 = 20 m = \Delta y

time = 1 s = \Delta x

So the slope in the first second is

\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{20}{1}=20 m/s

In the next second, the ball moves from 40 m to 80 m, so

distance = 80-40 = 40 m = \Delta y

time = 1 s = \Delta x

So the slope in the next second is

\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{40}{1}=40 m/s

While if we consider the overall graph in the 2 seconds, we have

distance = 80-20 = 60 m = \Delta y

time = 2 s = \Delta x

So the average slope is

\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{60}{2}=30 m/s

A bag containing 0ºC ice is much more effective in absorbing energy than one containing the same amount of 0ºC water.
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings.

Explanation:

Energy is required to melt a solid because the cohesive bonds between the molecules in the solid must be broken apart such that, in the liquid, the molecules can move around at comparable kinetic energies; thus, there is no rise in temperature. Similarly, energy is needed to vaporize a liquid, because molecules in a liquid interact with each other via attractive forces. There is no temperature change until a phase change is complete. The temperature of a cup of soda initially at 0ºC stays at 0ºC until all the ice has melted. Conversely, energy is released during freezing and condensation, usually in the form of thermal energy. Work is done by cohesive forces when molecules are brought together. The corresponding energy must be given off (dissipated) to allow them to stay together Figure 2.

The energy involved in a phase change depends on two major factors: the number and strength of bonds or force pairs. The number of bonds is proportional to the number of molecules and thus to the mass of the sample. The strength of forces depends on the type of molecules. The heat Q required to change the phase of a sample of mass m is given by

Q = mLf (melting/freezing,

Q = mLv (vaporization/condensation),

where the latent heat of fusion, Lf, and latent heat of vaporization, Lv, are material constants that are determined experimentally.

What inflammatory molecule aids with muscle building and is released when muscles experience microscopic damage?
Reika [66]

Answer:

Cytokines

Explanation:

Cytokines are known as inflammatory molecules which are also proteinous and aid signaling of certain processes and conditions in the body.

They are also normally involved in aiding muscle building and are released when muscles experience microscopic damage which may lead to the muscles being sore.
