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

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.

How does the law of conservation of energy apply to machines?
allsm [11]
Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. ... This principle is referred to as the first law of thermodynamics or the law of energy conservation. The law applies to all systems both large and small, and, again, it states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.

If 8.65 g of a tin - fluorine compound contains 5.28 g of tin, what is its empirical formula?
allsm [11]
First, we need to know the amounts of the elements in the compound.

Tin (Sn)= 5.28 g
Fluorine (F) = 8.65 - 5.28 = 3.37 g

Convert these to units of moles by dividing the molar masses.

Tin (Sn)= 5.28 g / 118.71 g/mol = 0.044 mol
Fluorine (F) = 3.37 g / 19.00 g/mol = 0.177 mol

Divide both by the least number of moles of the two.


Tin (Sn)= 0.044 mol /  0.044 mol = 1
Fluorine (F) =  0.177 mol / 0.044 mol = 4

Therefore, the empirical formula would be:
SnF4
