What does a curved gradient line in a distance-time graph represent?

Physics
1 answer:
GREYUIT [131]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

If the line is curved, the slope is changing, which also means the velocity is changing. In a distance-time graph, the gradient of the line is equal to the speed of the object. The more the gradient (and the steeper the line) the faster the object is moving.

a) Calculate the magnitude of displacement of the car in 40 seconds. b) During which part of the journey was the car acceleratin
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

a)  600 meters

b) between 0 and 10 seconds, and between 30 and 40 seconds.

c) the average of the magnitude of the velocity function is 15 m/s

Explanation:

a) In order to find the magnitude of the car's displacement in 40 seconds,we need to find the area under the curve (integral of the depicted velocity function) between 0 and 40 seconds. Since the area is that of a trapezoid, we can calculate it directly from geometry:

Area \,\,Trapezoid=(\left[B+b]\,(H/2)\\displacement= \left[(40-0)+(30-10)\right] \,(20/2)=600\,\,m

b) The car is accelerating when the velocity is changing, so we see that the velocity is changing (increasing) between 0 and 10 seconds, and we also see the velocity decreasing between 30 and 40 seconds.

Notice that between 10 and 30 seconds the velocity is constant (doesn't change)  of magnitude 20 m/s, so in this section of the trip there is NO acceleration.

c) To calculate the average of a function that is changing over time, we do it through calculus, using the formula for average of a function:

Average\,of\,f(x)=\frac{1}{b-a} \int\limits^b_a {f(x)} \, dx

Notice that the limits of integration for our case are 0 and 40 seconds, and that we have already calculated the area under the velocity function (the integral) in step a), so the average velocity becomes:

Avearage=\frac{600\,\,m}{40\,\,s}= 15\,\,\frac{m}s}
