What does the slope of a speed vs time graph means

Physics

Answer:

speed = m/s on y axis

time = s on x axis

when you calculate the slope you do y2-y1/x2-x1 right?

m/s/s become $m/s^2$ , which is the unit of acceleration

On a speed vs time graph, if you see that the line is constant, then acceleration = 0 because there is no difference in speed, you are not acceleration or decelerating.

So in summary, it's acceleration

Hope that that answers your question

3 kg of wet clothes are hung on the middle of a clothesline with posts 6 ft apart. The clothesline sags down by 3 feet. What is

miskamm [114]

Answer:

Tension in string equals 14.715 Newtons

Explanation:

The situation is represented in the figure attached below:

For equilibrium of the clothes along y- axis we have

$\sum F_{v}=0\\\\\Rightarrow 2Tcos(\theta )=W\\\\\therefore T=\frac{W}{2cos(\theta )}$

Applying values we get

$\sum F_{v}=0\\\\\Rightarrow 2Tcos(\theta )=W\\\\\therefore T=\frac{3\times 9.81}{2\times 1}=14.715N(\because cos(\theta )=\frac{3}{3}=1)$

A 2 kg ball is released from rest at the top of a track and

xz_007 [3.2K]

A) The formula for kinetic energy is E = 1/2 mv^2, so the energy of the ball is 1/2 * 2 * 10^2 = 100J. b) Energy is always conserved, and so if no energy is lost to resistive forces then all 100J of kinetic energy came from its potential energy at the top of the track. c) The formula for potential energy is E = mgh, which we can rearrange for h = E/mg. We know the energy, the mass and the strength of gravity, so we can find h = 100 / (2*9.81) = 5.10m.
