Answer:

If an object moves along a straight line, the distance traveled can be represented by a distance-time graph. In a distance-time graph, the gradient of the line is equal to the speed of the object. The greater the gradient (and the steeper the line) the faster the object is moving.

An object is moving in a straight line along the y axis. As a function of time, its position is given by the equation y=3.0+4.8x

Answer:

Explanation:

Instant Velocity and Acceleration

Give the position of an object as a function of time y(x), the instant velocity can be obtained by

$v(x)=y'(x)$

Where y'(x) is the first derivative of y respect to time x. The instant acceleration is given by

$a(x)=v'(x)=y''(x)$

We are given the function for y

$y(x)=3.0+4.8x +6.4x^2$

Note we have changed the last term to be quadratic, so the question has more sense.

The velocity is

$v(x)=y'(x)=4.8+12.8x$

And the acceleration is $a(x)=v'(x)=12.8$

What measures the distance between two consecutive crests of a wave?

Marina86 [1]

Answer A is incorrect
A crest is just one point. It is not the distance between 2 crests.

B is incorrect
A trough is just 1 point. It is not the distance between 2 troughs.

C is incorrect.
the amplitude measures the height of a crest from the middle of the wave to the crest (or trough).

D is the correct answer. That is the distance between 2 crests or 2 troughs

The rate at which a candle burns in millimeters per minute is:

anzhelika [568]

since both components, length and time, are measurable
since Rate = length ÷ time 
∴ rate is also measurable and ∴ quantitative.
