How do you determine the speed or velocity of an object using a distance vs. time graph

Physics

The speed of an object can be determined from the distance vs time graph.

You know that speed = distance/time

in the graph, distance/time = slope of the curve.

So SPEED IS GIVEN BY THE SLOPE of the curve in the graph.

● If the distance vs time curve is a straight line, parallel to time axis(x-axis), slope is 0. That means speed is 0. So the object is at rest.

● If the distance vs time curve is a straight line, with some non-zero slope; That means speed is nonzero and constant. So the object is in uniform motion.

● If the distance vs time curve is a curved, the slope is changing. That means speed is changing. So the object is in an accelerated motion.

Explain the phenomenon of polarization when a dielectric slab is subjected to an electric<br> field?
Oxana [17]

A dielectric, insulating material, or an extremely bad conductor of electrical current. Due to the absence of loosely bound, or free, electrons that could wander through the material, unlike metals, dielectrics practically do not conduct current when exposed to an electric field. Electric polarization takes place instead.

<h3>What is an Electric field?</h3>
  • An electric field is an electrical property associated with every point in the space of any form of charge. An electric field is also described as the electric force per unit charge.
  • Variable magnetic fields or electric charges are frequently the cause of electric fields. Volts per meter, a unit used in the SI, express electric field strength.
  • The force acting on the positive charge is assumed to be exerted in the direction of the field. The electric field is directed radially inwards toward the negative point charge and radially outwards from the positive charge.
  • Electric charge or magnetic fields with variable amplitudes can produce an electric field. The attraction forces that keep together atomic nuclei and electrons at the atomic scale are brought on by the electric field.

Why don’t metals break when hit with hammer
Verizon [17]

Because metallic bonds involve all of the metal atoms in a piece of metal sharing all of their valence electrons with "delocalized" bonds.

Billy drops a water balloon from the roof of his house. Since the balloon began with an original velocity of zero how far above
VashaNatasha [74]
T=2,5s
a=g≈10m/s²

h=s=?

s= \frac{1}{2} at^2 \Leftrightarrow h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}*10m/s^2 *(2,5s)^2=5m/s^2* \frac{25}{4} s^2=\boxed{31,25m}

The sun will probably end up as a white dwarf. How will it be different then from what it is today
just olya [345]

Answer:

The differences that will be observed are;

1) The Sun will become faint and will no longer be yellow but rather appear white and will no longer be visible (become invisible) by unassisted vision as we can see the Sun today

2) The size of the Sun will shrink to a size comparable to the size of the Earth

3) The Sun will cool down and will no longer radiate as much heat

4) The nuclear reactions that generate energy on the Sun's will seize and the and the heat from the Sun will be from residual thermal energy

5) The core, which is the hottest part of the Sun will no longer be hydrogen but carbon and oxygen
