Answer:

Explanation:

A positive v time graph is a velocity graph. If the position/time is negative, then the slope of the line is negative. If the line is indicative of the velocity, which it is, that means that the velocity is negative (decreasing). The first choice is the one you want.

liraira [26]

Answer:

Velocity (v) is a vector quantity that measures displacement (or change in position, Δs) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation v = Δs/Δt. Speed (or rate, r) is a scalar quantity that measures the distance traveled (d) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation r = d/Δt.

A crane is used to lower weights into a lake for an underwater construction project. Determine the tension in the cable of the c

atroni [7]

Answer:

Tension in the cable = 591292.8 N or 591.3 kN

Explanation:

Tension in the cable = Weight of object in air - upthrust/bouyancy due to the liquid

Weight of object in air = mass * acceleration due to gravity, g

Since mass is not given, it is obtained from the formula, mass = density * volume

Volume of the sphere = 4/3πr³ where r, radius = 2 m; π = 22/7

volume = 4/3 * 22/7 * (2m)³

volume of sphere = 33.52 m³

Density of concrete sphere = specific gravity * density of water

where, specific gravity = 2.8, density of water = 1000 kg/m³

density of concrete = 2.8 * 1000 kg/m³

density of concrete = 2800 kg/m³

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Thus, weight of concrete = 2800 kg/m³ * 33.52 m³ * 9.8 m/s² = 919788.8 N

Upthrust = density of water * volume of sphere * g

Upthrust = 1000 kg/m³ * 33.52 m³ * 9.8 m/s² = 328496 N

The tension in the cable is the calculated as below;

Tension in the cable = Weight of object in air - upthrust/bouyancy due to the liquid

Tension in cable = 919788.8 N - 328.496 N = 591292.8 N

Therefore, tension in the cable is 591292.8 N or 591.3 kN

A plane has a takeoff speed of 88.3 m/s and can accelerate at a rate of 3m/s to reach that speed. How long does the plane take t

Mrrafil [7]

v = $\frac{d}{t}$

and

a = $\frac{v}{t}$

We have acceleration and velocity so:

3 = $\frac{v}{t}$

88.3 = $\frac{d}{t}$

In the acceleration equation we can isolate for v and then plug it back into the other equation to solve...

So...

$3t = v$

$88.3 = 3t$

Divide by three and

t = 29.4 s

Describe how different types of motion are represented by distance-time graphs and velocity-time graphs.

eduard

Answer:

non-accelerated movement

velocity versus time a horizontal straight line.

distance versus time gives a horizontal straight line.

accelerated motion

graph of velocity versus time s an inclined line and the slope

graph of distance versus time is a parabola of the form

Explanation:

In kinematics there are two types of steely and non-accelerated movements

In a the velocity of the body is constant therefore a speed hook against time gives a horizontal straight line.

A graph of distance versus time is a straight line whose slope is the velocity of the body

x = v t

In an accelerated motion the velocity changes linearly with time, so a graph of velocity versus time is an inclined line and the slope is the value of the acceleration of the body

v = v₀ + a t

A graph of distance versus time is a parabola of the form

x =v₀ t + ½ a t²

Why are insulators important?

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

An insulator opposes the flow of electricity. Insulators are important to keep us safe from electricity. The wire that carries electricity to your computer or television is covered with a rubber-like insulator that protects you from getting electrocuted. Good insulators include glass, the air, and paper.
