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

Physics

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.

The motion of a car on a position time graph is represented with a horizontal tine What does this indicate about the car's motio
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Position-Time graphs display the motion of a object by showing the changes of velocity with respect to time.

The motion of a car on a position-time graph that is represented with a horizontal line indicates that the car has stopped moving.

A straight line with a positive slope indicates that the car is moving at a constant velocity, and thus the slope is constant. On the other hand, a curve with a changing slope, shows that the velocity is changing.

calculate the resistance of a wire 150cm long and diameter 2.0mm constructed from an alloy of resistivity 44*10-⁸Ωm​
Ghella [55]

Answer:

R = 0.21 Ω

Explanation:

the formula:

R = r x l/A

R = (44 x 10-⁸ Ωm) x 1.5 / (π x (1 x 10-³ m)²)

R = 6.6 x 10-⁷ / 3.14 x 10-⁶

R = 0.21 Ω

Which type of motor is shown below?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

AC motor........A

Explanation:

Plato, an AC motor is much simpler than a DC motor.  As alternating current passes through the coil, it becomes magnetized.  Since the current is alternating, the north and south ends keep switching.
