A body is accelerated continuously. What is the form of the graph?

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.

Problem: Suppose that the rate of flow of water through a fire hose is 21.4 kg/s and the stream of water from the hose moves at
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The force exerted is 318.86 N

Explanation:

The force exerted by such a stream is calculated by multiplying the mass flow rate of water by the velocity of the stream of water.

mass flow rate = 21.4 kg/s

velocity = 14.9 m/s

Force exerted = 21.4 kg/s × 14.9 m/s = 318.86 kgm/s^2 = 318.86 N

What sound signal tells a river lock attendant that you wish to go through the lock?
Hoochie [10]
In order to tell a river lock attendant that you wish to go through the lock, you should <span>sound one prolonged blast followed by one short blast.

You should wait about 400 feet away from the lock and wait for the flashing light signal that allows you to enter.
Also note that </span><span>commercial traffic  always have the first priority in entering the locks.</span>

A teacher asks her students to jump off of the ground. Once the students complete the task, she says, "All of you just made Eart
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

A) Newton's first law of motion states that an object will remain at rest or continue in its current state of motion except it is acted upon by another force.

Now using this law, when you jump off the ground, the earth will move a tiny bit and accelerate due to the force applied by the jumping.

B) Newton's 2nd law states that the acceleration of a system is directly proportional to the net external force acting on that system, is in the same direction with it and also inversely proportional to the mass.

In this case, when one jumps, an external force is exerted on the earth and we are told it is directly proportional to the acceleration of the system which in this case it's the earth, then it means that there is some motion by the earth even though you didn't see it move.

C) Newton's third law of motion states that to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In this case the motion of the jumper will lead to an equal and opposite reaction of the earth.
