What does the slope of a Position vs. Time graph represent?

Physics
1 answer:
attashe74 [19]3 years ago
7 0

Your question asks what the slope of a Position vs. Time graph represents.

Your answer would be Velocity.

The slope of a Position vs. Time graph would represent the velocity of the object.

If the slope is positive, then the object has a positive velocity ,in which it is going forward.

If the slope is negative, then the object has a negative velocity, which means that it's going the opposite direction, or backwards.

If the slope is at a "horizontal" position, this means that the object is stopped or isn't moving at all.

Nearly all physics problems will use the unit m/s^2 for acceleration. Explain why the seconds are squared. Why isn't the unit gi
sertanlavr [38]

Because acceleration is not speed, and speed is not acceleration. 
I'm sure you would not ask "Why isn't temperature given in acres,
as it is for area ?"  Speed and acceleration are different things, so
it's only natural that they have different units.


The magnitude (size) part of acceleration is:

         (how much speed changes) per second.

Are you speeding up ?
Are you traveling (2 meters per second) faster every second ?
Then your acceleration is

           (2 meters per second) per second .

When you write that phrase as an algebraic expression, it's

           (2 m/sec) / sec

and when you simplify that fraction, you get        2 m/sec² .

An electric heater carries a current of 13.5 A when operating at a voltage of 120V . What is the resistance of the heater?
Aloiza [94]

An electric heater that carries a current of 13.5 A when operating at a voltage of 120V , will have  the resistance of the heater as 8.89 ohm.

<h3>What is Ohm's law?</h3>

Ohm's law  can be described as the law in physics that   focus on how voltage or potential difference between two points is directly proportional to the current or electricity that is moving in the direction of the resistance.

An this is also  directly proportional to the resistance of the circuit, hence it can be calculated using the Ohm's law is V=IR.

from V=IR

R=V/I

= 120/13.55

=8.89 ohm.

Therefore,  electric heater that carries a current of 13.5 A when operating at a voltage of 120V , will have  the resistance of the heater as 8.89 ohm.

Technological advances are now making it possible to link visible-light telescopes so that they can achieve the same angular res
leonid [27]

Answer: The angle of resolution =47.05°

Explanation:

The angle of resolution represents the resolve power and precision of optical instruments such as the eye, camera and e en a microscope. It is given by the equation:

Sin A = 1.220(W÷D)

Sin A= 1.220(300÷500)

Sin A = 1.220(0.6)

Sin A = 0.732

A= Sin^-1 0.732

A= 47.05°
