Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

We are to check if the statement is true of false. If it is false, we correct the statement.

Solution:

Acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity. It is the ratio of the change in velocity to the change in time. The acceleration can be gotten from a velocity time graph by finding the slope of the graph.

The x coordinate represent the time and the y coordinate velocity.

5) Graph A passes through the point (0, 0) and (4, 24). Therefore the acceleration (slope) is:

Acceleration = $\frac{24-0}{4-0}=6\ m/s^2$

This is correct.

6) Graph B is a straight line of 12 m/s. It passes through (0, 12) and (4, 12). Hence:

Acceleration = $\frac{12-12}{4-0}=0\ m/s^2$

This is false.

Therefore the acceleration of graph B is 0 m/s².

20 cubic inches of a gas with an absolute pressure of 5 psi is compressed until its pressure reaches 10 psi. What's the new volu

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

B. $V_{f}= 10\,cubic\,inches$

Explanation:

Assuming we are dealing with a perfect gas, we should use the perfect gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

With T the temperature, V the volume, P the pressure, R the perfect gas constant and n the number of mol, we are going to use the subscripts i for the initial state when the gas has 20 cubic inches of volume and absolute pressure of 5 psi, and final state when the gas reaches 10 psi, so we have two equations:

$P_{i}V_{i}=n_{i}RT_{i}$ (1)

$P_{f}V_{f}=n_{f}RT_{f}$ (2)

Assuming the temperature and the number of moles remain constant (number of moles remain constant if we don't have a leak of gas) we should equate equations (1) and (2) because $T_{i}=T_{f}$ , $n_{i}=n_{f}$ and R is an universal constant:

$P_{i}V_{i}= P_{f}V_{f}$ , solving for $V_{f}$

$V_{f} =\frac{P_{i}V_{i}}{P_{f}} =\frac{(5)(20)}{10}$

$V_{f}= 10 cubic\,inches$

How big is the image produced by the periscope compared to the size of the object

ipn [44]

As long as both mirrors are set at 45% and the same size then you see the same as is reflected in the upper mirror 

Put a lens in the middle of the tube 

? 

We use mirrors when we drive cars ect 

Normally they are set across from a concealed entrance or one that is hard to see both ways like the inside of a hairpin bend. Sometimes only to help in one direction. 

Sonar which is sound waves that are sent out at a set rate then reflected by objects. The longer the gap between the two the further away it is, They still use periscopes to target boats though. 

The periscope can only reflect what is outside so if you could see it because there is enough light then Yes. If you could not see it because it is dark then No unless you get into Info-Red light or Image Intensifying systems as well

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

5.25 J

Explanation:

W = PE = (f)(x)

PE = 35N*0.15m

PE = 5.25 N*m

1 N*m = 1 J

PE = 5.25 J

What do electric power companies deliver to customers

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Power plants generate electricity that is delivered to customers through transmission and distribution power lines. High-voltage transmission lines, such as those that hang between tall metal towers, carry electricity over long distances to meet customer needs.
