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.

Suppose a 1300 kg car is traveling around a circular curve in a road at a constant
Scrat [10]

Answer:

F = 4212 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a car, m = 1300 kg

Speed of car on the road is 9 m/s

Radius of curve, r = 25 m

We need to find the magnitude of the unbalanced force that steers the car out of its natural straight-  line path. The force is called centripetal force. It can be given by :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\\F=\dfrac{1300\times 9^2}{25}\\\\F=4212\ N

So, the force has a magnitude of 4212 N

A violinist is tuning her instrument to concert A (440 Hz). She plays the note while listening to an electronically generated to
Soloha48 [4]

To solve the problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to beat frequency, i.e., The number of those wobbles per second.

The equation that describes the beat frequency is

f_{beat} = |f_2-f_1|

For our given case we have that the frequency of the instrument is 440Hz and the Beat frequency is 5Hz therefore,

A) The frequency of the violin would be given by

f_{beat} = |f_2-f_1|

5Hz = |f_2-440Hz|

f_2 = 440 \pm 5

f_2 = 445Hz or 435Hz

B) <em>The violinist must loosen the string.</em> As the tightening increases the frequency, thereby increasing the number of beats from 5 to 6, i. e, on thightening the string, the frequency further increases as high frequency will be produced by short trings.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The answer is a.

Explanation: Billions of years ago, there were lakes and rivers in the surface of mars because mars had a denser atmosphere and higher surface temperatures which allowed a vast amount of liquid water on the surface. Recently, most of the water on mars today exist as ice.
