Where is the distance on a position time graph

Physics

S_A_V [24]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

The distance represents the difference of the first position and last position of the body.

Explanation:

For example, if y axis represents the position axis, and the first position is 3, second 9 we can see that the distance is a (positive) projection of one position into another. 9-3=6

Hope this helps.

The Earth's escape speed (the speed you need to get away forever) is about 40,000 kilometers per hour. Escape speed depends on t

Anvisha [2.4K]

The Moon s escape speed will be smaller than Earth's.

What is escape speed:

The minimum speed that is required for an object to free itself from the gravitational force exerted by a massive object.

The formula of escape speed is

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }$

where

v is escape velocity

G is universal gravitational constant

M is mass of the body to be escaped from

r is distance from the center of the mass

we can say that,

Escape speed depends on the gravity of the object trying to hold the spacecraft from escaping.

we know that,

The Moon's surface gravity is about 1/6th as powerful or about 1.6 meters per second per second.

since, v ∝ g

The Moon s escape speed will be smaller than Earth's.

A rocket is fired straight upward, starting from rest with an acceleration of 25.0 m/s^2. It runs out of fuel at the end of 4.00

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

a) 200 m

b) 100 m/s

c) 709 m

d) -118.2 m/s

e) 26.24 s

Explanation:

The rocket flies upward with constant acceleretion.

The equation for position under constant acceleration is:

Y(t) = Y0 + Vy0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2

Y0 = 0

V0 = 0

Y(t) = 1/2 * 25 * t^2

Y(t) = 12.5 * t^2

And speed under constant acceleration:

Vy(t) = Vy0 + a * t

Vy(t) = 25 * t

It burns for 4 s and runs out of fuel

Y(4) = 12.5 * 4^2 = 200 m

V(4) = 25 * 4 = 100 m/s

Form t = 4 the rocket will coast, it will be in free fall, affected only by gravity

It will be under constant acceleration. These new equations will have different starting constants.

Y(t) = Y4 + Vy4 * (t - 4) + 1/2 * g * (t - 4)^2

Vy(t) = Vy4 + g * (t - 4)

When it reaches its highest point it will have a speed of zero.

0 = Vy4 + g * (t - 4)

0 = 100 - 9.81 * (t - 4)

100 = 9.81 * (t - 4)

t - 4 = 100 / 9.81

t = 10.2 + 4 = 14.2 s

At that moment it will have a height of:

Y(14.2) = 200 + 100 * (14.2 - 4) - 1/2 * 9.81 * (14.2 - 4)^2 = 709 m

The rocket will fall and hit the ground:

Y(t) = 0 = 200 + 100 * (t - 4) - 1/2 * 9.81 * (t - 4)^2

0 = 200 + 100 * t - 400 - 4.9 * (t^2 - 8 * t +16)

0 = -4.9 * t^2 + 139.2 * t -278.4

Solving this equation electronically:

t = 26.24 s

At that time the speed will be:

Vy(t) = 100 - 9.81 * (26.24 - 4) = -118.2 m/s

Please answer of this question

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

$\frac{\pi }{15}$ m

Explanation:

At 10am, the minute hand and hour hand are ' 2 hours apart', since the minute hand is at 12pm and hour hand is at 10am.

Angle between the two hands = 2/12 * 360

= 60°

Arc Length = $2\pi r(\frac{60}{360} )$

= $2\pi (0.2)(\frac{1}{6} )\\= \frac{\pi }{15} m$

Explain why it is esaier to climb a mountain on a zigzag path rather than one straight up the side. is your increase in gravitat

pogonyaev

Answer:

More work done with less power

The increase in gravitational energy is the same as the height which is a function of gravitational energy is the same in both cases

Explanation:

Climbing the mountain in zigzag pattern is easier because

1. The time it takes to climb increases so that the required power or rate of doing work decreases

2. Climbing in zigzag pattern affords the use of leverages by the sides

3. Similar mechanical power gain and efficiency from using a drive screw instead of a nail to fasten items together can be achieved

The increase in gravitational energy is the same gravitational energy ~ mass × gravity ×height
