How does the steepness of the line on a speed graph relate to the objects speed

1 answer:

3 0

That depends on what is being graphed.

-- On a speed/time graph, the higher the speed, the higher the point on the line.
A constant speed will be a horizontal piece of line.

-- On a distance/time graph, the higher the speed, the steeper the line is sloped.

-- On a temperature/time graph, the line on the graph is not related
to the object's speed at all.

-- etc.

Future space rockets might propel themselves by firing laser beams, rather than exhaust gases, out the back. The acceleration wo

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Acceleration = 0.0282 m/s^2

Distance = 13.98 * 10^12 m

Explanation:

we will apply the energy theorem

work done = ΔK.E ( change in Kinetic energy ) ---- ( 1 )

where :

work done = p * t

= 15 * 10^6 watts * ( 1 year ) = 473040000 * 10^6 J

( note : convert 1 year to seconds )

and ΔK.E = 1/2 mVf^2 given ; m = 1200 kg and initial V = 0

back to equation 1

473040000 * 10^6 = 1/2 mv^2

Vf^2 = 2(473040000 * 10^6 ) / 1200

∴ Vf = 887918.92 m/s

i) Determine how fast the rocket is ( acceleration of the rocket )

a = Vf / t

= 887918.92 / ( 1 year )

= 0.0282 m/s^2

ii) determine distance travelled by rocket

Vf^2 - Vi^2 = 2as

Vi = 0

hence ; Vf^2 = 2as

s ( distance ) = Vf^2 / ( 2a )

= ( 887918.92 )^2 / ( 2 * 0.0282 )

= 13.98 * 10^12 m

Lynna [10]

Answer:

a = 1.05m.s²

Explanation:

Fnet = m×a

Fapplied - friction = m×a

1172 - 962 = 200 × a

210 = 200a

a = 1.05

What is the power through a device with a resistance of 100 ohms if a current of 8 A is running through it?

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

6400 W (or) 6.4 KW

Explanation:

Formula we use,

→ P = I²R

Let's solve for the power of device,

→ P = I²R

→ P = (8)² × 100

→ P = 64 × 100

→ [ P = 6400 W ]

Hence, the power is 6400 W.

Excellent human jumpers can leap straight up to a height of

Firlakuza [10]

For a human jumper to reach a height of 110 cm, the person will need to leave the ground at a speed of 4.65 m/s.

We can calculate the initial speed to reach 110 cm of height with the following equation:

$v_{f}^{2} = v_{i}^{2} - 2gh$

Where:

$v_{f}$ : is the final speed = 0 (at the maximum height of 110 cm)

$v_{i}$ : is the initial speed =?

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h: is the height = 110 cm = 1.10 m

Hence, the initial velocity is:

$v_{i} = \sqrt{v_{f}^{2} + 2gh} = \sqrt{2*9.81 m/s^{2}*1.10 m} = 4.65 m/s$

Therefore, the initial speed that the person must have to reach 110 cm is 4.65 m/s.

How are the climates of coastal regions affected by the specific heat capacity of water?

Katen [24]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity can be defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 unit of mass by 1 unit temperature. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.186 joule/gram °C which is higher than common substances. The land has lower specific heat capacity. Thus, the land gets hot quickly than water.

This results in warming up air near the land which creates a difference in pressure across the coastal region. Sea breeze blows from sea towards landmass. Opposite happens at night, when water is still warm and land gets cooled down quickly. Then land breeze blows from landmass towards the sea. This breeze maintains a moderate temperature and windy and humid weather in the coastal regions.
