How can you determine an object's average velocity from a position time graph

Physics
1 answer:
viktelen [127]2 years ago

The average velocity can be calculated from the slope of the graph

Explanation:

In a position-time graph, the position is represented on the y-axis while the time is represented on the x-axis.

The slope of the graph is given by:

m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}

where

\Delta y is the change in the y-variable

\Delta x is the change in the x-variable

However, we have:

  • \Delta y corresponds to the change in position, therefore it is the displacement
  • \Delta x corresponds to the change in time

This means that the slope can be rewritten as

m=\frac{displacement}{time}

However, this ratio corresponds to the definition of average velocity:

velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}

Therefore, the slope of a position-time graph gives the average velocity.

Virty [35]

Complete Question

A ball having mass 2 kg is connected by a string of length 2 m to a pivot point and held in place in a vertical position. A constant wind force of magnitude 13.2 N blows from left to right. Pivot Pivot F F (a) (b) H m m L L If the mass is released from the vertical position, what maximum height above its initial position will it attain? Assume that the string does not break in the process. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Answer in units of m.What will be the equilibrium height of the mass?

Answer:

H_m=1.65m

H_E=1.16307m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass of ball M=2kg

Length of string L= 2m

Wind force F=13.2N

Generally the equation for \angle \theta is mathematically given as

tan\theta=\frac{F}{mg}

\theta=tan^-^1\frac{F}{mg}

\theta=tan^-^1\frac{13.2}{2*2}

\theta=73.14\textdegree

Max angle =2*\theta= 2*73.14=>146.28\textdegree

Generally the equation for max Height H_m is mathematically given as

H_m=L(1-cos146.28)

H_m=0.9(1+0.8318)

H_m=1.65m

Generally the equation for Equilibrium Height H_E is mathematically given as

H_E=L(1-cos73.14)

H_E=0.9(1+0.2923)

H_E=1.16307m

A piston of volume 0.1 m3 contains two moles of a monatomic ideal gas at 300K. If it undergoes an isothermal process and expands
seropon [69]

Answer:

the work is done by the gas on the environment -is W= - 3534.94 J (since the initial pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure , it needs external work to expand)

Explanation:

assuming ideal gas behaviour of the gas , the equation for ideal gas is

P*V=n*R*T

where

P = absolute pressure

V= volume

T= absolute temperature

n= number of moles of gas

R= ideal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

P=n*R*T/V

the work that is done by the gas is calculated through

W=∫pdV=  ∫ (n*R*T/V) dV

for an isothermal process T=constant and since the piston is closed vessel also n=constant during the process then denoting 1 and 2 for initial and final state respectively:

W=∫pdV=  ∫ (n*R*T/V) dV =  n*R*T  ∫(1/V) dV = n*R*T * ln (V₂/V₁)

since

P₁=n*R*T/V₁

P₂=n*R*T/V₂

dividing both equations

V₂/V₁ = P₁/P₂

W= n*R*T * ln (V₂/V₁)  = n*R*T * ln (P₁/P₂ )

replacing values

P₁=n*R*T/V₁ = 2 moles* 8.314 J/mol K* 300K / 0.1 m3= 49884 Pa

since P₂ = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

W= n*R*T * ln (P₁/P₂ ) = 2 mol * 8.314 J/mol K * 300K * (49884 Pa/101325 Pa) = -3534.94 J

What controls the traits an organism has?
Charra [1.4K]

The Traits an organism displays are ultimately determined by the genes it inherited from its parents, in other words by its genotype. Variant copies of a gene are called alleles, and an individuals genotype is the sum of all the alleles inherited from the parents.

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

This is a representation of Gauss law.

Gauss’s law does hold for moving charges, and in this respect Gauss’s law is more general than Coulomb’s law. In words, Gauss’s law states that: The net outward normal electric flux through any closed surface is proportional to the total electric charge enclosed within that closed surface. The law can be expressed mathematically using vector calculus in integral form and differential form, both are equivalent since they are related by the divergence theorem, also called Gauss’s theorem.
