When should a line graph be used?

Physics

OLEGan [10]2 years ago

Answer:

A. When the independent variable is continuous and shows a causal link to the dependent variable.

Explanation:

A graph can be defined as the graphical representation of data (informations) on horizontal and vertical lines i.e x-axis and y-axis respectively.

In an experiment , the variable being manipulated by an experimenter is known as an independent variable while the dependent variable is the event expected to change when the independent variable is manipulated

Generally, a line graph should be used when the independent variable is continuous and shows a causal link to the dependent variable.

This ultimately implies that, a line graph should be used when the data changes continuously over time and as such there exist a linear relationship between the data (variables).

How long will it take a person walking at 2.1 m/s to travel 13 m?

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

I gonna give you the number so but you need to round 6.19047619048

Explanation:

This is a speed formula so you would use the formula speed=distance/time
You need to rearrange it to time=distance/speed
So you need to divide 13m by 2.1 m/s

Water drops fall from the edge of a roof at a steady rate. a fifth drop starts to fall just as the first drop hits the ground. a

Alchen [17]

The height of the roof is <u>3.57m</u>

Let the drops fall at a rate of 1 drop per t seconds. The first drop takes 5t seconds to reach the ground. The second drop takes 4t seconds to reach the bottom of the 1.00 m window, while the 3rd drop takes 3t s to reach the top of the window.

Calculate the distances traveled by the second and the third drops s₂ and s₃, which start from rest from the roof of the building.

$s_2=\frac{1}{2} g(4t)^2=8gt^2\\ s_3=\frac{1}{2} g(3t)^2=(4.5)gt^2$

The length of the window s is given by,

$s=s_2-s_3\\ (1.00 m)=8gt^2-4.5gt^2=3.5gt^2\\ t^2=\frac{1.00 m}{(3.5)(9.8m/s^2)} =0.02915s^2$

The first drop is at the bottom and it takes 5t seconds to reach down.

The height of the roof h is the distance traveled by the first drop and is given by,

$h=\frac{1}{2} g(5t)^2=\frac{25t^2}{2g} =\frac{25(0.02915s^2)}{2(9.8m/s^2)} =3.57 m$

the height of the roof is 3.57 m

Two convex lenses are placed 15 cm apart. The left lens has a focal length of 10 cm, and the right lens a focal length of 5 cm.

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The image distance from right lens is 2.86 cm and image is real.

Explanation:

Given that,

Focal length of left lens = 10 cm

Focal length of right lens = 5 cm

Distance between the lenses d= 15 cm

Object distance = 50 cm

We need to calculate the image distance from left lens

Using formula of lens

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{u}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{10}-\dfrac{1}{-50}$

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{3}{25}$

$v=8.33\ cm$

We need to calculate the image distance from right lens

The object distance will be

$u = 15-8.33 = 6.67\ cm$

Using formula of lens

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{u}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{5}-\dfrac{1}{-6.67}$

$\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1167}{3335}$

$v=2.86\ cm$

The image is real.

Hence, The image distance from right lens is 2.86 cm and image is real.

A state patrol officer saw a car start from rest at a highway on-ramp. She radioed ahead to another officer 20 mi along the hig

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

We know from the basic speed distance relation that

$Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}$

Since the car started from rest and it covered the distance between the 2 officer's in 19 minutes we have speed of the car

$Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\\\Speed=\frac{20}{\frac{19}{60}}=63.16mph$

Which clearly exceeds the limit of $60\frac{mi}{hr}$

What two factors are a part of thermohaline circulation

Margarita [4]

Answer:

These deep-ocean currents are driven by differences in the water's density, which is controlled by temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline). This process is known as thermohaline circulation.
