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".

Find the velocity, acceleration, and speed of a particle with the given position function. r(t = t2i 6tj 4 ln t k
artcher [175]
1st derivative gives velocity;
d r(t)/ dt = 2t i + 6 j + 4/t k

2nd derivative gives acceleration;
d^2 r(t)/ dt^2 = 2 i - 4/ t^2

Speed ;
Square root of (4 t^2 + 36 + 16/ t^2)

For a given time, like 2 seconds, t will be 2. And answer of speed will be scalar.

A 1.2 nf parallel-plate capacitor has an air gap between its plates. Its capacitance increases by 3.0 nf when the gap is filled
Damm [24]

Answer:

2.5

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor filled with dielectric is given by

C=kC_0

where

k is the dielectric constant

C_0 is the capacitance of the capacitor without dielectric

In this problem,

C_0=1.2 nF is the capacitance of the capacitor in air

C=3.0 nF is the capacitance with the dielectric inserted

Solving the equation for k, we find

k=\frac{C}{C_0}=\frac{3.0 nF}{1.2 nF}=2.5

Glycerin (C3H8O3) is a nonvolatile liquid. What is the vapor pressure of a solution made by adding 154 g of glycerin to 316 mL o
garri49 [273]

Answer:

P_{sol}=50.4\ mm.Hg

Explanation:

According to given:

  • molecular mass of glycerin, M_g=3\times 12+8+3\times 16=92\ g.mol^{-1}
  • molecular mass of water, M_w=2+16=18\ g.mol^{-1}
  • ∵Density of water is 0.992\ g.cm^{-3}= 0.992\ g.mL^{-1}
  • ∴mass of water in 316 mL, m_w=316\times 0.992=313.5 g
  • mass of glycerin, m_g=154\ g
  • pressure of mixture, P_x=55.32\ torr= 55.32\ mm.Hg
  • temperature of mixture, T_x=40^{\circ}C

<em>Upon the formation of solution the vapour pressure will be reduced since we have one component of solution as non-volatile.</em>

<u>moles of water in the given quantity:</u>

n_w=\frac{m_w}{M_w}

n_w=\frac{313.5}{18}

n_w=17.42 moles

<u>moles of glycerin in the given quantity:</u>

n_g=\frac{m_g}{M_g}

n_g=\frac{154}{92}

n_g=1.674 moles

<u>Now the mole fraction of water:</u>

X_w=\frac{n_w}{n_w+n_g}

X_w=\frac{17.42}{17.42+1.674}

X_w=0.912

<em>Since glycerin is non-volatile in nature so the vapor pressure of the resulting solution will be due to water only.</em>

\therefore P_{sol}=X_w\times P_x

\therefore P_{sol}=0.912\times 55.32

P_{sol}=50.4\ mm.Hg
