Well, if we've been paying attention in class, we already KNOW that the electrostatic force changes as the inverse square of the distance, and the top graph is conveniently labeled "Electrostatic Force".

But if we didn't already know that, we'd have to examine the graphs, and find the one where 'y' changes like 1/x² .

The top graph does that. After 1 unit of time, the force is 350. Double the time to 2 units, and the force should drop to 1/4 of 350 ... sure enough, it's a little less than 90. Double the time again, to 4 units, and it should drop to 1/4 of a little less than 90 ... by golly, it's down below 30.

The first graph is what an inverse square looks like. Now that you've worked out this graph, you'll know an inverse square relationship whenever you see it.

Answer:

C. 12m

Explanation:

$veocity = \frac{displacement}{time}$

from the graph v = 4m/s and t = 3 s

d = vt = 4 × 3 = 12 m

a person with a mass of 75kg jumps on the trampoline the trampoline creates a fprce of 375n on them what is the acceleration of

Anarel [89]

Newton's second law allows calculating the response for the person's acceleration while leaving the trampoline is:

-4.8 m / s²

Newton's second law says that the net force is proportional to the product of the mass and the acceleration of the body

F = m a

Where the bold letters indicate vectors, F is the force, m the masses and the acceleration

The free body diagram is a diagram of the forces without the details of the body, in the attached we can see the free body diagram for this system
