How to calculate the slope of position time graph?
1 answer:
Answer:
The slope of a position-time graph can be calculated as:
where
is the increment in the y-variable
is the increment in the x-variable
We can verify that the slope of this graph is actually equal to the velocity. In fact:
corresponds to the change in position, so it is the displacement,
corresponds to the change in time
, so the time interval
Therefore the slope of the graph is equal to
which corresponds to the definition of velocity.

Answer:
More energy is transferred in situation A
Explanation:
Each of the situations are analyzed as follows;
Situation A
The temperature of the cup of hot chocolate = 40 °C
The temperature of the interior of the freezer in which the chocolate is placed = -20 °C
We note that at 0°C, the water in the chocolate freezes
The energy transferred by the chocolate to the freezer before freezing is given approximately as follows;
E₁ = m×c₁×ΔT₁
Where;
m = The mass of the chocolate
c₁ = The specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 kJ/(kg·K)
ΔT₁ = The change in temperature from 40 °C to 0°C
Therefore, we have;
E₁ = m×4.184×(40 - 0) = 167.360·m kJ
The heat the coffee gives to turn to ice is given as follows;
E₂ = m·
Where;
= The latent heat of fusion = 334 kJ/kg
∴ E₂ = m × 334 kJ/kg = 334·m kJ
The heat required to cool the frozen ice to -20 °C is given as follows;
E₃ = m·c₂·ΔT₂
Where;
c₂ = The specific heat capacity of ice = 2.108 kJ/(kg·K)
Therefore, we have;
E₃ = m × 2.108 ×(0 - (-20)) = 42.16
E₃ = 42.16·m kJ/(kg·K)
The total heat transferred = (167.360 + 334 + 42.16)·m kJ/(kg·K) = 543.52·m kJ/(kg·K)
Situation B
The temperature of the cup of hot chocolate = 90 °C
The temperature of the room in which the chocolate is placed = 25 °C
The heat transferred by the hot cup of coffee, E, is given as follows;
E = m×4.184×(90 - 25) = 271.96
∴ E = 271.96 kJ/(kg·K)
Therefore, the total heat transferred in situation A is approximately twice the heat transferred in situation B and is therefore more than the heat transferred in situation B
Energy transferred in situation A = 543.52 kJ/(kg·K)
Energy transferred in situation B = 271.96 kJ/(kg·K)
Energy transferred in situation A ≈ 2 × Energy transferred in situation B
∴ Energy transferred in situation A > Energy transferred in situation B.
Answer:
B. 2 m/s
B. Acceleration = 4.05 m/s² and Tension = 297.5 N.
Explanation:
A force is applied on a mass m whose acceleration is 4 m/s
Force = mass × acceleration
a = F/m = 4 m/s
4 m/s = F/m
F = 4 m/s (m)
If Force of 2F is applied on a mass of 4m ; it acceleration is as follows:
2F/4 m = F/ 2m
4m/s (m) / 2m = 2 m/s
a = 2 m/s
2.
Given that
mass = 30 kg
mass = 50 kg
= 0.1
From the question; we can arrive at two cases;
That :
----- equation (1)
---- equation (2)
50 a = 50 g - T
30 a = T - 30 g sin 30 - 4 × 30 g cos 30
By summation
80 a =g
80 a = 32. 4 × 10 m/s ² (using g as 10m/s²)
80 a = 324 m/s ²
a = 324/80
a = 4.05 m/s²
From equation , replace a with 4.05
50 × 4.05 = 50 × 10 - T
T = 500 -202.5
T =297.5 N
