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.

What is the mass of an object with a density of 18 g/cm3 and a volume of 25 cm3
DiKsa [7]

Answer: 0.72 grams

Explanation: Mass can be extracted from the formula of density. D=M/V where D is density and V is volume. Therefore:

18 g/cm^3 = M(25 cm^3) --> Divide by 18g/cm^3 by 25 cm^3 to isolate mass. --> <u>0.72 =M </u> --> Now, to find out which unit you need to use for mass, just look at the density. You can see it is in g/cm^3, and cm^3 was already used for the volume. Thus, gram units are left, so that will be the unit needed, making the final answer 0.72 grams. Hope this helps :)

The front brakes on a vehicle do more work than do the rear brakes. Technician A says that this is because the front wheel cylin
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Technician A says that this is because the front wheel cylinders are closer to the master cylinder than are the rear wheel cylinders.

Explanation:

Since the position of cylinder is near the front wheel so the normal force of the front wheel is more than the normal force on the rear wheel

as we know that the center of mass of the wheel is shifted towards the front wheel as the balancing is done with reference to its center of mass

so we will have

N_1 d_1 = N_2 d_2

also we have

N_1 + N_2 = W

so here we can say

friction force on front wheel will be more

F_f = \mu N_1

so here front wheel has to do more work to stop the vehicle

Why do astronuats in orbit in the space shuttle seem to float?
SVEN [57.7K]
Astronauts float<span> around in </span>space<span> because there is no gravity in </span>space. Everyone knows that the farther you get from Earth, the less the gravitational force is. Well,astronauts<span> are so far from the Earth that gravity is so small. This is why NASA calls it microgravity</span>
