Instantaneous acceleration is defined as rate of change in velocity

it is given by the equation

a = \frac{dv}{dt}

so here it shows that acceleration is always depends on change in velocity with time and now if we required this change in velocity with time for a small instant of time then it will be given by the slope of velocity and time graph.

So here the graph must be like this to find the slope of any graph we always use the concept that for any graph between y and x we use

slope = \frac{dy}{dx}

if we compare it with the formula of acceleration above

then on Y axis we must have to draw the speed and on x axis we must have to draw the time

so correct answer must be

<u> d) Place time on the x-axis and velocity on the y-axis</u>

A 1022kg Caprice car stopped at an intersection is rear-ended by a 1620kg ranger truck moving with a speed of 14.5m/s. If the ca
Alika [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 1022 kg

mass of truck, M = 1620 kg

initial velocity of truck, U = 14.5 m/s

initial velocity of car, u = 0 m/s

Let the final velocity of car is v and the final velocity of truck is V.

Collision is elastic, so the coefficient of restitution, e = 1

Use conservation of momentum

initial momentum of car + initial momentum of truck = final momentum of car + final momentum of truck

m x u + M x U = m x v + M x V

0 + 1620 x 14.5 = 1022 v + 1620 V

23490 = 1022 v + 1620 V ..... (1)

Use the formula of coefficient of restitution

e = \frac{V_{1}-V_{2}}{u_{2}-u_{1}}

1 (14.5 - 0) = v - V

14.5 = v - V

V = v - 14.5 .... (2)

Put in equation (1)

23490 = 1022 v + 1620 (v - 14.5)

23490 = 1022 v + 1620 v - 23490

46980 = 2642 v

v = 17.8 m/s

Put in equation (2)

V = 17.8 - 14.5

V = 3.3 m/s

Thus, the speed of car is 17.8 m/s and the velocity of truck is 3.3 m/s after collision.

If you are given distance and a period of time what can you calculate
Digiron [165]

If you are given distance and a period of time, you can calculate the speed. The velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Velocity is equivalent to a specification of its speed and direction of motion (e.g. 60 km/h to the north).
