Okay, let’s look at it this way: when does a line pass through the origin? The line represents possible values of x and y that satisfy the equation.

So, when a line passes through the origin, it passes through the coordinates (0,0). x = 0, y = 0. So, let’s model this with the equation ax + by + c = 0. Sub in x = 0 and y = 0 to the equation and we find that 0 + 0 + c = 0. Clearly, c = 0.

So, with this simple explanation, I hope you understand when a line does pass through the origin.

Now, let’s look at when a line doesn’t pass through the origin. This is when c is not equal to 0. Hence, when x = 0, y cannot equal 0; c + by = 0, and we know that c is not 0. If y is 0, then we get c = 0… where c is not 0. Ehh. Thus, you can see that a line does not pass through the origin when c is not equal to 0 by ehat is hope is a simple explanation. You don’t need to know how to prove it, I presume, but that’s not too hard either.

Oops, I realised that I just assumed you were talking about linear graphs. For quadratic graphs, the reasoning is similar. For graphs of the form y = ax^2, the minimum/maximum point of the graph will be the origin. For graphs of the form y = ax^2 + bx, it will pass through the origin but the line of symmetry will be different. For graphs of the form y = ax^2 + bx + c (you know, where c is not zero) , the graph will not pass through the origin because the maximum/ minimum point is actually raised or lowered by c units

A 57 kg pole vaulter running at 11 m/s vaults over the bar. Her speed when she is above the bar is 1.1 m/s. The acceleration of
kari74 [83]

Answer:

Her altitude as she crosses the bar, h₂ is approximately 6.1 m

Explanation:

The given parameters of the motion of the pole vaulter are;

The mass of the pole vaulter, m = 57 kg

The speed with which the pole vaulter is running, u = 11 m/s

The speed of the pole vaulter when she crosses the bar, v = 1.1 m/s

The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

From the total mechanical energy, M.E. equation, we have;

M.E. = P.E. + K.E.

Where;

P.E. = The potential energy of the motion = m·g·h

K.E. = The kinetic energy of the motion = 1/2·m·v²

By the principle of conservation of energy, we have;

The change (loss) in kinetic energy, ΔK.E. = The change (gain) in potential energy, ΔP.E.

ΔK.E. = 1/2·m·(v² - u²)

ΔP.E. = m·g·(h₂ - h₁)

Where;

h₁ = The ground level = 0 m

h₂ = The altitude with which she crosses the bar

∴ 1/2·m·(v² - u²) = m·g·(h₂ - h₁)

(h₂ - h₁) = (v² - u²)/(2·g) = (11² - 1.1²)/(2·9.8) = 6.11173469388

h₂ = 6.11173469388 + h₁ = 6.11173469388 + 0 = 6.11173469388

h₂ = 6.11173469388

Her altitude as she crosses over the bar, h₂ ≈ 6.1 m.

Describe what happens to radiant energy once it enters the atmosphere? How does Radiant energy cause weather?
Triss [41]
Once energy from the Sun gets to Earth, several things can happen to it:

Energy can be scattered or absorbed by aerosols in the atmosphere. Aerosols are dust, soot, sulfates and nitric oxides. When aerosols absorb energy, the atmosphere becomes warmer. When aerosols scatter energy, the atmosphere is cooled.
Short wavelengths are absorbed by ozone in the stratosphere.
Clouds may act to either reflect energy out to space or absorb energy, trapping it in the atmosphere.
The land and water at Earth's surface may act to either reflect energy or absorb it. Light colored surfaces are more likely to reflect sunlight, while dark surfaces typically absorb the energy, warming the planet.
Albedo is the percentage of the Sun's energy that is reflected back by a surface. Light colored surfaces like ice have a high albedo, while dark colored surfaces tend to have a lower albedo. The buildings and pavement in cities have such a low albedo that cities have been called "heat islands" because they absorb so much energy that they warm up.

Give two examples where we feel the presence of motion through indirect evidences
Elza [17]

there are situations where the motion is inferred through indirect evidences. For example, we infer the motion of air by observing the movement of dust and the movement of leaves and branches of trees. What causes the phenomena of sunrise, sunset and changing of seasons? Is it due to the motion of the earth? If it is true, why don’t we directly perceive the motion of the earth?

<span>An object may appear to be moving for one person and stationary for some other. For the passengers in a moving bus, the roadside trees appear to be moving backwards. A person standing on the road–side perceives the bus along with the passengers as moving. However, a passenger inside the bus sees his fellow passengers to be at rest</span>

Considerable scientific work is currently under way to determine whether weak oscillating magnetic fields such as those found ne
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The the maximum emf is 2.52\times10^{-11}\ V

Explanation:

Given that,

Magnetic field B = 1.40\times10^{-3}\ T

Frequency = 60 Hz

Diameter = 7.8 μm

We need to calculate the maximum emf

Using formula of emf

\epsilon=NBA\omega

Where, N = number of turns

B= magnetic field

A = area

Put the value in to the formula

\epsilon=1\times1.40\times10^{-3}\times\pi\times(\dfrac{7.8\times10^{-6}}{2})^2\times2\times\pi\times60

\epsilon=2.52\times10^{-11}\ V

Hence, The the maximum emf is 2.52\times10^{-11}\ V

A negative point charge q1 = 25 nC is located on the y axis at y = 0 and a positive point charge q2 = 10 nC is located at y =14
sergey [27]

Answer:

 y = 0.1 m

Explanation:

The electrical power for point loads is

         V = k \sum \frac{q_i}{r_i}k Sum qi / ri

in this case

         V = k (- \frac{q_1}{r_1 } + \frac{q_2}{r_2})

indicate that V = 0

        \frac{q_1}{r_1} = \frac{q_2}{r_2}

        r₂ = \frac{q_2}{q_1} r_1

the distance r1 is

         r₁ = y -0

the distance r2

         r₂ = 0.14 -y

we substitute

       

        0.14 - y = \frac{10}{25}  y

          y ( \frac{10}{25} + 1) = 0.14

          y 1.4 = 0.14

          y = 0.14 / 1.4

          y = 0.1 m
