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.

An ice skater weighs 500 [N]. He is coasting to the right at a constant velocity of 2 [m/s]. Assume

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The net force on the skater is zero. ( $F_{net} = 0\,N$ )

Explanation:

According to Newton's First Law, an object is at equilibrium when either it is at rest or moves at constant velocity, which means a net force of zero. Based on the given statement, there are no external forces acting on skate and, therefore, the net force on the skater is zero. ( $F_{net} = 0\,N$ )

A coin of mass m rests on a turntable a distance r from the axis of rotation. The turntable rotates with a frequency of f. What

Crank

Answer:

$\mu = \frac{r (2\pi f)^{2}}{g}$

Explanation:

$N$ = normal force acting on the coin

Normal force in the upward direction balances the weight of the coin, hence

$N = mg$

$f$ = frequency of rotation

Angular velocity of turntable is hence given as

$w = 2\pi f$

$r$ = distance from the axis of rotation

$\mu$ = minimum coefficient of static friction

static frictional force is given as

$f = \mu N\\f = \mu mg$

The static frictional force provides the necessary centripetal force , hence

Centripetal force = Static frictional force

$m r w^{2} = \mu mg\\r w^{2} = \mu g\\\\\mu = \frac{r w^{2}}{g} \\\mu = \frac{r (2\pi f)^{2}}{g}$

A 7.5-cmcm-diameter horizontal pipe gradually narrows to 4.5 cmcm . When water flows through this pipe at a certain rate, the ga

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer

given,

diameter,d₁ = 7.5 cm

d₂ = 4.5 cm

P₁ = 32 kPa

P₂ = 25 kPa

Assuming, we have calculation of flow in the pipe

using continuity equation

A₁ v₁ = A₂ v₂

π r₁² v₁ = π r₂² v₂

$v_1= \dfrac{r_2^2}{r_1^2} v_2$

$v_1= \dfrac{2.25^2}{3.75^2} v_2$

$v_1= 0.36 v_2$

Applying Bernoulli's equation

$\Delta P = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-v_1^2)$

$P_1-P_2 = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-(0.36 v_2)^2)$

$32-25 = \dfrac{1}{2}1000\times v_2^2 (1 - 0.1269)$

$v_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 7\times 10^3}{1000\times (0.8704)}}$

$v_2=\sqrt{16.084}$

v₂ = 4.01 m/s

fluid flow rate

Q = A₂ V₂

Q = π (0.0225)² x 4.01

Q = 6.38 x 10⁻³ m³/s

flow in the pipe is equal to 6.38 x 10⁻³ m³/s

1.Calculate the energy transferred by a 12V hairdryer, running on a current of 0.50A, that is left on for 8.0 minutes.

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

1. Energy = 2880 Joules.

2. Energy = 60 Joules.

3. Quantity of charge = 120 Coulombs.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

1. Voltage = 12 Volts

Current = 0.5 Amps

Time, t = 8 mins to seconds = 8 * 60 = 480 seconds

To find the energy;

Power = current * voltage

Power = 12 * 0.5

Power = 6 Watts

Next, we find the energy transferred;

Energy = power * time

Energy = 6 * 480

Energy = 2880 Joules

2. Charge, Q = 4 coulombs

Potential difference, p.d = 15V

To find the total energy transferred;

Energy = Q * p.d

Energy = 4 * 15

Energy = 60 Joules

3. Voltage = 6 Volts

Current = 1 Amps

Time = 2 minutes to seconds = 2 * 60 = 120 seconds

To find the quantity of charge;

Quantity of charge = current * time

Quantity of charge = 1 * 120

Quantity of charge = 120 Coulombs
