What does the slope of the line on this velocity versus time graph represent?

What do you mean when you say "this" graph ?  I don't see any graph.

First of all, I'm sure you don't have a "velocity versus time" graph.
You may have a "speed versus time" graph, that doesn't show any
information about the direction of the motion.

As you look at your graph ... a feat that's impossible for me ... 

-- If the line is horizontal, then speed is not changing.  If the direction
of motion is also not changing, then there is zero acceleration.  Sadly,
the graph most likely doesn't carry any information about the direction. 
It's possible that the speed is constant but the direction is changing.
Then acceleration isn't zero, but you can't tell that from the graph.

-- If the line is proceeding upward from left to right, whether it's straight
or curving, then there is positive acceleration.

-- If the line is proceeding downward from left to right, whether it's straight
or curving, then there is negative acceleration, or what some people might
call "positive deceleration".

gogolik [260]
We don't know anything about the amount of distance it travels, but that's okay. The only equation we need here is 

velocity(final) = velocity(initial) + acceleration * time
vf = vi + (a * t)

The ball is dropped from rest, so vi = 0 m/s.
We want it so that the ball hits the ground with a final velocity of 60 m/s, so vf = 60 m/s. 
We are given the acceleration due to gravity, a = 9.8 m/s^2.
We are solving for the time, t = ?.

Now we just plug in the values.
vf = vi + (a * t)
60 m/s = 0 m/s + (9.8 m/s^2)*(t)

60 = 9.8t

60 / 9.8 = t

t = 6.122 s

Hopefully this is the right answer.

A 2kg blob of putty moving at 4 m/s slams into a 6kg blob of putty at rest what is the speed of the to stick together blobs imme
andrew11 [14]
<h2>Answer</h2>

1m/s

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Given that:

<em>Mass of first blob = 2kg = m1</em>

<em>Velocity of blob = 4m/s = v1</em>

<em>Mass of second blob = 6kg = m2</em>

<em>Velocity of blob = 0m/s = v2</em>

<em />

To find:

<em>Final velocity = Vf</em>

<em />

<em>This question is of inelastic collision which is any collision between objects in which some energy is lost.</em>

<em />

<h3>Formula to be use:</h3><h2>(m1*v1) + (m2*V2) = Vf(m1 + m2)</h2>

(2*4) + (6*0) = Vf(2+6)

8 + 0 = Vf(8)

8 = Vf(8)

Vf = 1 m/s

So the speed of two blobs immediately after colliding = 1 m/s

How to find the coefficient of friction without the force of friction or vice versa
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Finding the Force of Friction Without an Experiment

1.The following equation tells you the strength of the frictional force (with the static friction coefficient): F = μ s t a t i c N F=\mu_{static} N F=μstaticN.

2.If your surface is flat and parallel to the ground, you can use: ...

3.If it isn't, the normal force is weaker.
