Answer:
A) The acceleration is zero
<em>B) The total distance is 112 m</em>
Explanation:
<u>Velocity vs Time Graph</u>
It shows the behavior of the velocity as time increases. If the velocity increases, then the acceleration is positive, if the velocity decreases, the acceleration is negative, and if the velocity is constant, then the acceleration is zero.
The graph shows a horizontal line between points A and B. It means the velocity didn't change in that interval. Thus the acceleration in that zone is zero.
A. To calculate the acceleration, we use the formula:
Let's pick the extremes of the region AB: (0,8) and (12,8). The acceleration is:
This confirms the previous conclusion.
B. The distance covered by the body can be calculated as the area behind the graph. Since the velocity behaves differently after t=12 s, we'll split the total area into a rectangle and a triangle.
Area of rectangle= base*height=12 s * 8 m/s = 96 m
Area of triangle= base*height/2 = 4 s * 8 m/s /2= 16 m
The total distance is: 96 m + 16 m = 112 m
The main difference between the model of the atom proposed by Greek philosophers and the model proposed centuries later by Dalton is that the Greek one was mainly speculative and philosophical - it wasn't based on real evidence, but on their suggestions and thoughts about the matter. On the other hand, Dalton had the means to prove his theory using viable evidence, not just speculations.
Answer:
The SI unit of intensity is the watt per square meter/metre (W/m^2.)
Explanation:
Intensity is equal to the power transferred per unit area. Since power is measured in watts (W) and 1 W = 1 J/s, then intensity can be viewed as how fast energy goes through a certain area.
In physics, intensity is often used when studying light, sound, or other phenomena that involve waves or energy transfer. (With waves, the power value is taken as the average power transfer over the wave's period.)
Answer:
Because of the speed of the sound.
Explanation:
The first thing that happens in such cases is to take into account the speed of the sound. First, we see that the player hits the ball with the bat, if we are in the stands far enough we will hear the sound of the batting time later, this time depends on the speed of the sound which is equal to 345 [m/s].
Another visible and practical example is a fireworks display, where people nearby immediately hear the explosion. while those at a great distance will be able to see first the explosion followed by the sound.
With the following equation, we can calculate how long it takes to hear a hit or explosion
t = x / v
where:
x = distance [m]
v = sound velocity = 345 [m/s]
t = time [s]
Answer:
a) There are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.
b) 
Explanation:
a) We have the conversion
1 m = 100 cm
So there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.
b) 1 inch = 2.54 cm
