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.

8. The legs of a young man are each 0.650 meters long. What is his maximum walking speed?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

2.52 m/s

Explanation:

When the man takes a step, his foot is stationary while his body revolves around it.  At the point when his body is directly above his foot, there will be no normal force at his maximum speed.

Sum of the forces in the radial direction:

∑F = ma

mg = m v² / r

g = v² / r

v = √(gr)

Given that r = 0.650 m:

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 0.650 m)

v = 2.52 m/s

Why is it important to include variety in your workouts
grigory [225]

Explanation:

Variety in to an exercise program allows the body to adapt to many demands, from high intensity exercise to slow, steady state exercise. Variety is important in a fitness program because it allows for your body to be challenged on a consistent basis and to overcome a plateau.

This question is related to inertia:
luda_lava [24]
The way I do it is suddenly, in the same sort of way that magicians try to pull a table cloth off a table when there's things on the table cloth.The sudden approach acts as an impulse of force and starts to accelerate the roll. But, the piece (assuming it has perforations) is off the roll before the roll can move, due to inertia. Then the roll will acclerate, move, slow down and stop. However, in accelerating, the roll will unravel. The bigger the impulse the more it will unravel.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++If on the other hand, the piece of paper is held firmly, and the roll is pulled, then the impulse is presumably given to the paper and the hand whose inertia is a lot more than that of the roll. So, I think I'd actually go for choice c)+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++This assumes that the roll is free to rotate.I think that a similar idea is behind the design and use of a "ballistic galvanometer". The charge is passed through the galvanometer quickly, as a current pulse. Then the needle starts to deflect, and the deflection is arranged to depend on the total charge that has passed through in the time of the current pulse.
