A = ∆v/∆t
Say velocity is on the y-axis and time in on the x-axis. If you take the points (2,1) and (5,8) for example, the difference between the velocity points is 8-1 = 7. This difference is the change in velocity (i.e. ∆v, ∆ means change in) between these two points. The same goes for time: 5-2 = 3.
So we've concluded that in this example, ∆v = 7 and ∆t = 3. Now put these into the equation above to find acceleration:
7/3 = 2.333...
So the acceleration between these two points on the graph is 2.333...(recurring), or as a fraction, 7/3.

The magnitude of acceleration is

(change in speed) divided by (time for the change) .

Between the two points on the graph ...

-- Find the change in speed. (usually the y-axis)
-- Find the change in time. (usually the x-axis)

Divide (change in time) by (change in speed) between the two points.
That quotient is the average magnitude of acceleration during that time.

If the graph happens to be a straight line, then the magnitude of acceleration
is just the slope of the line.

What’s the difference between mechanical and chemical weathering
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Mechanical weathering is the physical breakdown of rock into smaller pieces. Chemical weathering is the breakdown of rock by chemical processes.

Explanation:

Mechanical weathering (also called physical weathering) breaks rock into smaller pieces. These smaller pieces are just like the bigger rock, just smaller. That means the rock has changed physically without changing its composition. The smaller pieces have the same minerals, in just the same proportions as the original rock.

Chemical weathering is the other important type of weathering. Chemical weathering is different from mechanical weathering because the rock changes, not just in size of pieces, but in composition Chemical weathering works through chemical reactions that cause changes in the minerals.

What is the ball's acceleration?
muminat

Answer:

g, downward

Explanation:

It is given that, a baseball is thrown straight upward. The force acting on the stone is force of gravity. It is moving under the action of gravity. We know that the force of gravity always acts in a downward direction.

At the highest point, the velocity of the stone will be equal to 0. It will move will constant acceleration equal to g and it always acts in downward direction.

Hence, the correct option is (e) "downward direction".

A car traveling west in a straight line on a highway decreases its speed from 30.0 meters per second to 23.0 meters per second i
pychu [463]
Acceleration, a =  (v - u) / t

Initial Velocity, u = 30 m/s
Final Velocity, v  =  23 m/s
time                 t  =  2.00 seconds

a = (23 - 30) / 2
a = -7 / 2 = -3.5 m/s2

So the acceleration  is negative, which means it is a deceleration of 3.5 m/s2.

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 7.6 m/s in 4.6 s. How far does the car travel in that time?
uysha [10]

Answer:

The car will travel a distance of 17.45 meters.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity (V_i) = 0

Final velocity (V_f) = 7.6 m/s

Time taken = 4.6 s

Acceleration = (Final velocity - Initial Velocity )/time

a=\frac{(V_f-Vi)}{t}= \frac{7.6-0}{4.6}=1.65\ ms^-2

We have to calculate total distance traveled by the car.

Let the distance traveled be 'd'

Equation of motion:

d=V_i(t)+\frac{at^2}{2}

Plugging the values.

⇒d=V_i(t)+\frac{at^2}{2}

⇒d=0+\frac{1.65*(4.6)^2}{2}

⇒d=17.45\ m

The car will travel a distance of 17.45 meters for the above case.
