That depends on what quantity is graphed.

It also depends on what kind of acceleration is taking place ...
continuous change of speed or continuous change of direction.

-- If the graph shows speed vs time, and the acceleration is a change
in speed, then the graph is a connected series of straight-line pieces. 
Each straight piece slopes up if speed is increasing, or down if speed
is decreasing.

-- If the graph shows speed vs time, and the acceleration is a change in
direction only, then the graph is a straight horizontal line, since speed is
constant.

-- If the graph shows direction vs time, and the acceleration is a change
in speed only, then the graph is a straight horizontal line, since direction
is constant.

-- If the graph shows direction vs time, and the acceleration is a change
in direction, then the graph is a connected series of pieces of line. 
Each piece may be straight if the direction is changing at a constant rate,
or curved if the direction is changing at a rate which grows or shrinks. 
Each piece may slope up if the angle that defines the direction is growing,
or may slope down if the angle that defines the direction is decreasing.

-- If the graph shows distance vs time, and the acceleration is a
change in speed, then the graph is a connected series of pieces
of curves.  Each piece curves up if speed is increasing, or down if
speed is decreasing.

-- If the graph shows distance vs time, and the acceleration is a change
in direction only, then the graph is a straight line sloping up, since speed
is constant.

You serve a volleyball with a mass of 1.4 kg. The ball leaves with a speed of 13 m/s. Calculate KE
NemiM [27]

Answer:

118.3 J

Explanation:

Givens:

m = 1.4 kg

V = 13 m/s

Formula for kinetic energy:

KE = (1/2)*(m)*(v)^2

KE = .5*(1.4 kg)*(13 m/s)^2

KE 118.3 J

J = Joules

A student is given three wires that are made from different materials, but each wire has the same physical dimensions. For a giv
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Use the ammeter to measure the current that flows through each wire, because a larger current that flows through the wire corresponds to a smaller resistivity

Explanation:

Since they are connected to a constant voltage power source, the potential difference does not change. The potential difference is proportional to the product of the current and the resistance and, the resistance opposes the flow of electric current. It is clear to see that a large current that flows through the current means there is a lesser resistance to the flow of current at constant potential difference across the circuit.

During which stage does the birth rate begin to decline?
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

During stage 3 - late expanding (of demogrpahic transition model)

Explanation:

During stage 3, birth rate begins to decline as infant mortality is lower and women have more access to education, family planning, and contraceptives.  Children are not needed as "free labor" as they might have been in earlier stages.
