The ____ of a position-time graph represents an object’s velocity.
Marianna [84]

Answer:

The slope of a position-time graph represents an object’s velocity.

Explanation:

In a position-time graph, the values on the x-axis represent the time, while the values on the y-axis represent the position of the object.

Velocity is defined as the ratio between the displacement of an object and the time taken:

v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}

However, we can see that this definition corresponds to the slope of the curve in a position-time graph. In fact:

\Delta s, the displacement, corresponds to the difference in position, so the difference between the values on the y-axis: \Delta s=y_2 -y_1

\Delta t, the time interval, corresponds to the difference in times, so the difference between the values on the x-axis: \Delta t= t_2 -t_1=x_2 -x_1

So, the velocity is

v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}=\frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}

which corresponds to the slope of the curve.

Describe the difference between a conductor and an insulator in terms of thermal energy transfer and provide an example of each.
Nikitich [7]

The difference between conductors and insulators is because of electronic structure of atoms and molecules.

 

Anywhere we have free electrons, we have a hard conductor where free electrons help in conduction.

 

In electrolytes, charged Ions do conduction.

 

Dielectrics (or insulators) don't have free electrons current.

 

Free electrons mean, the electrons that are not related with a specific atom, they are allowed to move nearby the crystal lattice.

How do you find the amplitude of a wave?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

To find the amplitude, wavelength, period, and frequency of a sinusoidal wave, write down the wave function in the form y(x,t)=Asin(kx−ωt+ϕ).

The amplitude can be read straight from the equation and is equal to A.

The period of the wave can be derived from the angular frequency (T=2πω).
