Displacement time squared graph

1 answer:

6 0

If distance versus time is a straight line then Free-Fall is at a constant velocity and the slope of the graph measures that velocity. If distance versus time-squared is a straight line then Free-Fall is at a constant acceleration and the slope of the graphmeasures one-half of that acceleration.

A 20-kg block slides down a fixed rough curved track The block has a speed of 5 0 m/s after its height above a horizontal surfac

Crank

Answer:

U = 102.8 J (100 J to two significant digits)

Explanation:

potential energy converted = 20(9.8)(1.8) = 352.8 J

kinetic energy at base of track = ½(20)5.0² = 250 J

energy (work) of friction 352.8 - 250 = 102.8 J

If earth had no atmosphere, would a falling object ever reach terminal velocity?

stepan [7]

No, because terminal velocity is when the acceleration of the Earth’s gravity is balanced by the air resistance of the atmosphere.

An electromagnetic wave of intensity 150 W/m2 is incident normally on a rectangular black card with sides of 25 cm and 30 cm tha

LenKa [72]

Answer:

3.75 × 10⁻⁸ N

Explanation:

Given:

Intensity of the electromagnetic wave, I = 150 W/m²

Sides of the board = 25 cm (= 0.25 m) and 30 cm (= 0.30 m)

therefore,

the area of the rectangular box, A = 0.25 × 0.30 = 0.075 m²

Now,

force exerted on the card by the radiation, F = $\frac{IA}{C}$

here,

C is the speed of the light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

on substituting the respective values, we get

F = $\frac{150\times0.075}{3\times10^8}$

F = 3.75 × 10⁻⁸ N

At the beginning of a unit on forces, Ms. Alton is leading a class discussion asking her students

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

(iv), (v), (vi) would be incorrect.

Explanation:

(iv) Force isn't transferred from one colliding object to another, but momentum can be.

(v) An object doesn't stop immediately a force stops acting on it. Think of a thrown ball.

(vi) For an object not to move, it means that the net force on the object is zero, and not necessarily that there are no forces acting on the object. For example, an object could be pushed on one side, and be pushed on the other side with an equal force in the opposite direction. The forces would cancel each other and the net force would be zero.

The rest should be correct.

Explanation:

Relative speed of a body may be defined as the speed of one body with respect to some other or the speed of one body in comparison to the speed of second body.

In the context,

The relative speed of body 2 with respect to body 1 can be expressed as :

$u'=\frac{u-v}{1-\frac{uv}{c^2}}$
