5. Graph A below plots a race car's speed for 5 seconds. The car's rate of acceleration is 6 m/s^2
1 answer:
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 =
This is correct.
6) Graph B is a straight line of 12 m/s. It passes through (0, 12) and (4, 12). Hence:
Acceleration =
This is false.
Therefore the acceleration of graph B is 0 m/s².

Correct choices are marked in bold:
travel in straight lines and can bounce off surfaces --> TRUE, normally electromagnetic waves travel in straight lines, however they can be reflected by objects, bouncing off their surfaces
travel through space at the speed of light --> TRUE, all electromagnetic waves in space (vacuum) travel at the speed of light, )
travel only through matter --> FALSE; electromagnetic waves can also travel through vacuum
travel only through space --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves can also travel through matter
can bend around objects --> TRUE, this is what happens for instance when diffraction occurs: electromagnetic waves are bended around obstacles or small slits
move by particles bumping into each other --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves are oscillations of electric and magnetic fields, so no particles are involved
move by the interaction between an electric field and a magnetic field --> TRUE, electromagnetic waves consist of an electric field and a magnetic field oscillating in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave
