How do you graph distance and time for an object that moves at a constant speed?

Answer:

It would be a straight line

Explanation:

On a distance-time graph, an object that moves at constant speed would be represented by a straight line.

In fact, in a distance-time graph, the slope of the line corresponds to the speed of the object. We can demonstrate that. In fact:

- The speed of the object is equal to the ratio between the distance covered (\Delta s) and the time taken (\Delta t):

v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}

On a distance-time graph, the distance is on the y-axis while the time is on the x-axis. The slope of the line is defined as:

m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}

But the variation on the y-axis (\Delta y) is equal to the distance covered (\Delta s), while the variation on the x-axis (\Delta x) corresponds to the time taken (\Delta t), so the slope can also be rewritten as

m=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}

which is equal to the speed of the object. Therefore, an object moving at constant speed would be represented by a line with constant slope, which means a straight line.

Based on the information in the table, which two elements are most likely in the same group, and why?
velikii [3]

Answer: bismuth and nitrogen, because they have the same number of valence electrons

Explanation:

Elements are distributed in groups and periods in a periodic table.

Elements that belong to same groups will show similar chemical properties because they have same number of valence electrons.

The number of valence electrons in Bismuth and nitrogen are 5 and thus thus they will show similar chemical properties and thus belong to the same group.

The atomic masses of elements in a group will differ drastically.

The group number has got nothing to be the isolation year.

Thus bismuth and nitrogen belong to same group because they have the same number of valence electrons

The maximum Compton shift in wavelength occurs when a photon isscattered through 180^\circ .
vlabodo [156]

Answer: 90\°

Explanation:

The Compton Shift \Delta \lambda in wavelength when the photons are scattered is given by the following equation:

\Delta \lambda=\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)     (1)

Where:

\lambda_{c}=2.43(10)^{-12} m is a constant whose value is given by \frac{h}{m_{e}c}, being h the Planck constant, m_{e} the mass of the electron and c the speed of light in vacuum.

\theta) the angle between incident phhoton and the scatered photon.

We are told the maximum Compton shift in wavelength occurs when a photon isscattered through 180\°:

\Delta \lambda_{max}=\lambda_{c}(1-cos(180\°))     (2)

\Delta \lambda_{max}=\lambda_{c}(1-(-1))    

\Delta \lambda_{max}=2\lambda_{c}     (3)

Now, let's find the angle that will produce a fourth of this maximum value found in (3):

\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{4}2\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)      (4)

\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)      (5)

If we want \frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{c}, 1-cos\theta   must be equal to 1:

1-cos\theta=1   (6)

Finding \theta:

1-1=cos\theta

0=cos\theta  

\theta=cos^{-1} (0)  

Finally:

\theta=90\°    This is the scattering angle that will produce \frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}

Which of the following are true statements? A. Like charges repel B. Unlike charges repel C. Unlike charges attract or D. Charge
Brums [2.3K]

Answer: The correct answers are (A) and (C).

Explanation:

The expression from electrostatic force is as follows;

F=\frac{kq_{1}q_{1}}{r^{2} }

Here, F is the electrostatic force, k is constant, r is the distance between the charges and q_{1},q_{1} are the charges.

The electrostatic force follows inverse square law. It is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges. It is directly proportional to the product of the charges.

Like charges repel each other. There is a force of electrostatic repulsion between the like charges. Unlike charges attract each other. There is a force of electrostatic attraction between unlike charges.

The charges are induced on the neutral object when it is placed nearby the charged object without actually touching it.

Therefore, the true statements from the given options are as follows;

Like charges repel.

Unlike charges attract.

Can someone help me with this real quick?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

7,546 J

Explanation:

recall that Potential energy is given by

P.E = mgΔh

where m = 70kg (given)

g = 9.8 m/s² (acceleration due to gravity)

Δh = change in height

= distance from top of building to top of car

= height of building - height of car

= (5+8) - 2

= 11m

substituting all these into the equation:

P.E = mgΔh

= 70 x 9.8 x 11

= 7,546 J
