How would you calculated the distance travelled by the car using its velocity-time graph

Physics
1 answer:
MA_775_DIABLO [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Measure the area under the graph.

Explanation:

To calculate the distance traveled by a car (or anything) using a velocity-time graph, just measure the area under the graph! This is super easy. :)

I will use the graph below as an example. If you needed to find the distance traveled from 4 seconds to 10 seconds, you would just find the area under those two points. The dark blue is the area we need to find the area of.

The area of a rectangle is a A = bh

A = bh

A = (6 s)(8 m/s)

A = 48 meters

If you wanted to find the area from 0 seconds to 4 seconds, you would find the area of the light blue triangle.

A = 1/2bh

A = 1/2(4 s)(8 m/s)

A = 16 meters

If you wanted to find the area from 0 seconds to 10 seconds, you would just add these two areas!

A1 + A2

48 meters + 16 meters = 64 meters

I really hope this helped! :)

A satellite of mass m is in a circular orbit of radius R2 around a spherical planet of radius R1 made of a material with density
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

a)      K = 2/3 π G m ρ R₁³ / R₂ ,  b) U = - G m M / r

Explanation:

The law of universal gravitation is

     F = G m M / r²

Part A

Let's use Newton's second law

     F = m a

The acceleration is centripetal

     a = v² / R₂

     

      G m M / R₂² = m v² / R₂

      v² = G M / R₂

They give us the density of the planet

    ρ = M / V

    V = 4/3 π R₁³

    M =   ρ V

    M =   ρ 4/3 π R₁³

    v² = 4/3 π G  ρ R₁³ / R₂

    K = ½ m v²

    K = ½ m (4/3 π G ρ R₁³ / R₂)

    K = 2/3 π G m ρ R₁³ / R₂

Part B

Potential energy and strength are related

     F = - dU / dr

     ∫ dU = - ∫ F. dr

The force was directed towards the center and the vector r outwards therefore there is an angle of 180º between the two cos 180 = -1

    U- U₀ = G m M ∫ dr / r²

    U - U₀ = G m M (- r⁻¹)

We evaluate for

    U - U₀ = -G m M (1 / r_{f} -  1 /r_{i})

They indicate that for ri = ∞     U₀ = 0

    U = - G m M / r

Suppose that you are headed toward a plateau 55 meters high. If the angle of elevation to the top of the plateau is 40degrees​,
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

x=65.55m

Explanation:

Let x be the distance to the shore

From trigonometry properties:

tan(40^{o} )=\frac{55m}{x} \\x=\frac{55m}{tan(40^{o} )} \\x=65.55m

a container of water is knocked off a 10.0 meter high ledge with a horizontal velocity of 1.00 meters/second. calculate the time
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

1.43 s

Explanation:

The time it takes for the container to reach the ground is determined only by the vertical motion of the container, which is a free-fall motion, so a uniformly accelerated motion with a constant acceleration of g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground.

The vertical distance covered by an object in free fall is given by

S=ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

where

u = 0 is the initial vertical speed

t is the time

a= g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

since u=0, it can be rewritten as

S=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

And substituting S=10.0 m, we can solve for t, to find the duration of the fall:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(10.0 m)}{9.8 m/s^2}}=1.43 s

The wheels of an automobile are locked as it slides to a stop from an initial speed of 30.0 m/s. If the coefficient of kinetic f
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

  x = 76.5 m

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second law at the point of contact between the wheel and the floor.

     fr = m a

     fr = miy N

     N-W = 0

     N = W

     μ mg = m a

     a = miu g

    a = 0.600 9.8

    a = 5.88 m / s²

Having the acceleration we can use the kinematic relationships to find the distance

     v_{f}² = v₀² + 2 a x

    v_{f} = 0

    x = -v₀² / 2 a

Acceleration opposes the movement by which negative

   x = - 30²/2 (-5.88)

   x = 76.5 m

Please help me with this question​
vovangra [49]

Answer:

1. 12 V

2a. R₁ = 4 Ω

2b. V₁ = 4 V

3a. A = 1.5 A

3b. R₂ = 4 Ω

4. Diagram is not complete

Explanation:

1. Determination of V

Current (I) = 2 A

Resistor (R) = 6 Ω

Voltage (V) =?

V = IR

V = 2 × 6

V = 12 V

2. We'll begin by calculating the equivalent resistance. This can be obtained as follow:

Voltage (V) = 12 V

Current (I) = 1 A

Equivalent resistance (R) =?

V = IR

12 = 1 × R

R = 12 Ω

a. Determination of R₁

Equivalent resistance (R) = 12 Ω

Resistor 2 (R₂) = 8 Ω

Resistor 1 (R₁) =?

R = R₁ + R₂ (series arrangement)

12 = R₁ + 8

Collect like terms

12 – 8 =

4 = R₁

R₁ = 4 Ω

b. Determination of V₁

Current (I) = 1 A

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 4 Ω

Voltage 1 (V₁) =?

V₁ = IR₁

V₁ = 1 × 4

V₁ = 4 V

3a. Determination of the current.

Since the connections are in series arrangement, the same current will flow through each resistor. Thus, the ammeter reading can be obtained as follow:

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 4 Ω

Voltage 1 (V₁) = 6 V

Current (I) =?

V₁ = IR₁

6 = 4 × I

Divide both side by 4

I = 6 / 4

I = 1.5 A

Thus, the ammeter (A) reading is 1.5 A

b. Determination of R₂

We'll begin by calculating the voltage cross R₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Total voltage (V) = 12 V

Voltage 1 (V₁) = 6 V

Voltage 2 (V₂) =?

V = V₁ + V₂ (series arrangement)

12 = 6 + V₂

Collect like terms

12 – 6 = V₂

6 = V₂

V₂ = 6 V

Finally, we shall determine R₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Voltage 2 (V₂) = 6 V

Current (I) = 1.5 A

Resistor 2 (R₂) =?

V₂ = IR₂

6 = 1.5 × R₂

Divide both side by 1.5

R₂ = 6 / 1.5

R₂ = 4 Ω

4. The diagram is not complete
