How to calculate the slope of position time graph ?

Physics

Answer:

Slope= \frac{x2-x1}{t2-t1}

Explanation:

We are supposed to find the slope in a position time graph,

For that we need atleast two points (t1,x1),(t2,x2).((x,y ) represents there coordinates in respective axis directions.)

In the given case the y axis would be the position and the x axis as time .

Slope is defined as the ratio of change in y coordinate to change in x coordinate :- \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

So subsituting the coordinates of position and time we get slope as:-

\frac{x2-x1}{t2-t1}

[When we have more than two points which are not collinear then to calculate the slope we take the average.]

A baseball is thrown horizontally at a rate of 40m/s toward a home plate 18.4 m away. How far below the launch height is the bal
sammy [17]

Answer:

<h3>1.03684m</h3>

Explanation:

Using the formula for calculating range expressed as;

R = U√2H/g where

R is the distance moves in horizontal direction = 18.4m

H is the height

U is the velocity of the baseball = 40m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Substitute the given parameters into the formula and calculate H as shown;

18.4 = 40√2H/9.8

18.4/40 = √2H/9.8

0.46 = √2H/9.8

square both sides;

(0.46)² = (√2H/9.8)²

0.2116 = 2H/9.8

2H = 9.8*0.2116

2H = 2.07368

H = 2.07368/2

H = 1.03684m

Hence the ball is 1.03684m below the launch height when it reached home plate.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

the longest wavelength of incident sunlight that can eject an electron from the platinum is 233 nm

Explanation:

Given data

Φ = 5.32 eV

to find out

the longest wavelength

solution

we know that

hf = k(maximum) +Ф   ...............1

here we consider k(maximum ) will be zero because photon wavelength max when low photon energy

so hf = 0

and hc/ λ = +Ф

so λ = hc/Ф  ................2

now put value hc = 1240 ev nm and Φ = 5.32 eV

so hc = 1240 / 5.32

hc = 233 nm

the longest wavelength of incident sunlight that can eject an electron from the platinum is 233 nm

Does displacement = Δx?
Volgvan
Typically no. Displacement can be in multiple directions as a vector. of something is traveling only along x, then it would be true though this is usually not the case.
