Whether a line is "steep" or "shallow" depends on the slope of the line. In the equation y=mx+b, m is the slope. In your first equation, 1/2x+4, the slope would be 1/2 which means there is 1 increase in the vertical, or y, value for each 2 increases in the horizontal, or x value. This line would be shallow.
Answer:
Explanation:
An impulse results in a change of momentum.
The impulse is the product of a force and a distance. This will be represented by the area under the curve
a) W = ½(4.00)(3.00) = 6.00 J
b) W = (11.0 - 4.00)(3.00) = 21.0 J
c) W = ½(17.0 - 11.0)(3.00) = 9.00 J
d) ASSUMING the speed at x = 0 is in the direction of applied force
½(3.00)(v₄²) = ½(3.00)(0.450²) + 6.00
v₄ = 2.05 m/s
½(3.00)(v₁₇²) = ½(3.00)(0.450²) + 6.00 + 21.0 + 9.00
v₁₇ = 4.92 m/s
If the initial speed is NOT in the direction of applied force, the final speed will be slightly less in both cases.
