What does the slope of the curve on a distance vs time graph represent?

Physics
1 answer:
Lilit [14]3 years ago
6 0

Slope of a curve Y plotted against X is mathematically given as

slope = \frac{dy}{dx}

now here we can see that if similarly graph is plotted against distance and time then slope is given as

slope = \frac{dx}{dt}

here we can say that above is ratio of small distance and very small interval of time.

so here we can say that this ratio of distance and time for very small interval of time is known as instantaneous speed of the object which is falling freely under gravity.

So here slope of the graph will represent the speed at a given instant.

What is the momentum of a photon having the same total energy as an electron with a kinetic energy of 100 keV?
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The momentum of the photon is 1.707 x 10⁻²² kg.m/s

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic of electron, K.E = 100 keV = 100,000 eV = 100,000  x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

Kinetic energy is given as;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

v is speed of the electron

K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\mv^2 = 2K.E \\\\v^2 = \frac{2K.E}{m} \\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m}} \\\\but \ momentum ,P = mv\\\\(v)m = (\sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m}})m\\\\P_{photon} =  (\sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m_e}})m_e\\\\P_{photon} =  (\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-14}}{9.11\times10^{-31}}})(9.11\times 10^{-31})\\\\P_{photon} = 1.707 \times 10^{-22} \ kg.m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the photon is 1.707 x 10⁻²² kg.m/s

Two identical bodies are sliding toward each other on a frictionless surface. One moves at 1 m/s and the other at 2 m/s. They co
mario62 [17]

Answer:

V=\dfrac{3}{2}\ m/s

Explanation:

Two identical bodies are sliding toward each other on a frictionless surface.

Initial speed of body 1, m₁ = 1 m/s

Initial speed of body 2, m₂ = 2 m/s

They collide and stick.

We need to find the speed of the combined mass. Let V is the speed of the combined mass.

Using the conservation of momentum.

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=V(m_1+m_2)

We have, m₁ = m₂ = m

m\times 1+m\times 2=(m+m)V\\\\m+2m=2m\times V\\\\3m=2mV\\\\V=\dfrac{3}{2}\ m/s

So, the speed of the combined mass is \dfrac{3}{2}\ m/s.

What derived unit is used to measure the slope of the line in this graph?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

g/cm³

Explanation:

From the question given above,

The y-axis is representing mass (g)

The x-axis is representing volume (cm³)

Unit of slope =?

Slope of a graph is simply defined as the change in y-axis divided by the change in x-axis. Mathematically it is expressed as:

Slope = change in y-axis (Δy)/change in x-axis (Δx)

Slope = Δy/Δx

Thus, with the above formula, we can obtain the unit used for measuring the slope as follow:

y-axis = mass (g)

x-axis = volume (cm³)

Slope =.?

Slope = Δy/Δx

Slope = mass (g) /volume (cm³)

Slope = g/cm³

Therefore, the derive unit used for measuring the slope is g/cm³

A capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 3 volt it delivers 30% store energy to lamp what is the final potential diff
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

3.98V

Explanation:

Given

Pontential difference V as 3v

Energy delivered is 30%,

Recall that Enery E=1/2cv^2 from this E=V^2(since Current C is not provided we can assume a value 2)

So E=V^2

E=3^2=9

At full charge E=9,30%of 9,0.3*9=2.7 energy in capacitor is 9-2.7=6.3

But E=V^2

✓E=V

✓6.3=3.98V
