What does it mean if the slope is zero?

1 answer:

5 0

The object is not moving.

My explanation is that say if you sit a ball on the table and it is a smooth surface with no bumps or anything. The ball will sit still since it can’t roll unless you hit it.

Hope this helps!

A force of 10 N causes a spring to extend by 20 mm. Find: a) the spring constant of the spring in N/m

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

formula used K=F/∆l

∆l is the elongation of the spring

F=10N
∆l=20mm===> 0.02m
K=10N divided 0.02m= 500N/m

Suppose a car is traveling in the negative x-direction and comes to a stop. What is the sign of that car’s acceleration? How do

Oduvanchick [21]

We have equation of motion v = u + at

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, and t = time

In this case car is travelling in -x direction

Velocity of car = displacement / time

Since displacement value is increasing in negative x axis it's initial velocity is negative

And it's final velocity is zero since it comes to rest, and time is also positive

So, v= u+ at => 0 = -u + at

So, a = u/t

Which is positive and along positive X - direction

A mercury barometer reads 745.0 mm on the roof of a building and 760.0 mm on the ground. Assuming a constant value of 1.29 kg/m3

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The height of the building is 158.140 meters.

Explanation:

A barometer is system that helps measuring atmospheric pressure. Manometric pressure is the difference between total and atmospheric pressures. Manometric pressure difference is directly proportional to fluid density and height difference. That is:

$\Delta P \propto \rho \cdot \Delta h$

$\Delta P = k \cdot \rho \cdot \Delta h$

Where:

$\Delta P$ - Manometric pressure difference, measured in kilopascals.

$\rho$ - Fluid density, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$\Delta h$ - Height difference, measured in meters.

Now, an equivalent height difference with a different fluid can be found by eliminating manometric pressure and proportionality constant:

$\rho_{air} \cdot \Delta h_{air} = \rho_{Hg} \cdot \Delta h_{Hg}$

$\Delta h_{air} = \frac{\rho_{Hg}}{\rho_{air}} \cdot \Delta h_{Hg}$

Where:

$\Delta h_{air}$ - Height difference of the air column, measured in meters.

$\Delta h_{Hg}$ - Height difference of the mercury column, measured in meters.

$\rho_{air}$ - Density of air, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$\rho_{Hg}$ - Density of mercury, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

If $\Delta h_{Hg} = 0.015\,m$ , $\rho_{air} = 1.29\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ and $\rho_{Hg} = 13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , the height difference of the air column is:

$\Delta h_{air} = \frac{13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} }{1.29\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} }\times (0.015\,m)$

$\Delta h_{air} = 158.140\,m$

The height of the building is 158.140 meters.
