The position-time graph for a bug crawling along a line is shown in item 4 below. Determine whether the velocity is positive, ne
gative, or zero at each of the times marked on the graph.
1 answer:
Answer: The velocity at different marked time points are given as
t1 = -
t2 = +
t3 = +
t4 = -
t5 = 0
Explanation:
The slope of the tangent of the curve indicates the instantaneous velocity. So if the slope of the tangent is positive, that Is, the tangent makes a positive angle (above the horizontal axis) with the horizontal
axis, then the velocity at this point is positive, and if the slope of the tangent is negative, that is the tangent makes a negative angle with the horizontal axis (below the horizontal axis), then the velocity at this point is negative.
When the tangent of the line is parallel to the horizontal axis, the velocity is 0.
From the position-time graph attached, the sign on the instantaneous velocity for each time marked on the graph is given below
t1 = -
t2 = +
t3 = +
t4 = -
t5 = 0

The force of attraction is F = 48.1 N
The separation between the charges is
Also, the magnitude of charge q1 = q2 = q.
To find the magnitude of charge.
Explanation:
The magnitude of charge can be calculated by the formula
Here, k is the Coulomb's constant whose value is
On substituting the values, the magnitude of charge will be
Thus, the magnitude of each charge is 9.91 x 10^(-4) micro Coulombs.
