What is a curved line in velocity time graph represent?​

A curved line shows the slope is constantly changing. Think about it - an upward curve shows the slope is pretty flat at first but it gets very steep as time increases.

So what is the slope of a Vt graph represent? Well, slope is rise over run, aka delta V over delta t. That’s just the formula for acceleration.

We know the slope is changing, and the slope is acceleration, therefore we can say that the acceleration is changing.

It turns out that if you graph this changing acceleration with time, the acceleration changes at a constant rate - it’s linear, NOT a curve. (If you have specific values you could plot this, but if you’re just talking about general graphs, then just take my word for it).

In summary - if you’re velocity is changing at a non constant rate, then you’re acceleration must be changing (at a constant rate).

Hope this helped!

A child attaches a rubber ball to a string and whirls it around in a circle overhead. If the string is 0.2m long and the ball's
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration, a_c = 1280 m/s^2

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is given by the formula:

a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}

Where the speed of the ball, v = 16 m/s

Length of the string, r = 0.2 m

Substituting these parameters into the centripetal equation above:

a_c = \frac{16^2}{0.2}\\a_c = \frac{256}{0.2}\\a_c = 1280 m/s^2

1) What would the average acceleration be for a car at a stoplight that speeds up to 20 m/s in 10 seconds (in m/s^2)
Alexxx [7]
1.)
Velocity is in m/s, and acceleration is in m/s^2 like you said. Because of this, we can calculate this by dividing the speed by the time it took to get to that speed.
(20 meters/second) / 10 seconds = 2 meters/ second^2

2.)
Same thing with the first one.
(100 meters/second) / 4 seconds = 25 meters / seconds^2

You have two points in a soil. Point A is at 75 cm; point B is at 25 cm above the reference. The capillary potential energy at p
user100 [1]

Answer:

The potential energy at point A is 17.1675 J

Explanation:

The capillary potential is the work expended to bring up a unit mass of liquid to a point in a capillary region from a level liquid surface. It is the capillary potential that facilitates the movement of moisture within soil capillaries

In meteorology it is used to describe the level of saturated soil above the water table

Potential energy is the energy inherent in a body by virtue of its position, therefore the potentials of both point A and B are

Point A, elevation = 75 cm capillary potential = -100 cm

Point B, elevation = 25 cm capillary potential = -200 cm

The total potential energy at point A is

Elevation above reference - capillary potential =75-(-100) = 175 cm

which gives per unit mass

PE = m × g × h = 1 kg × 9.81 m/s ² × 1.75 m = 17.1675 kg·m²/s² = 17.1675 J
