On a velocity vs. time graph, what does it mean when the line crosses over the x-axis?

1 answer:

8 0

On a velocity - time graph, if the line crosses the x - axis it depicts that the object has started moving in the opposite direction.

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Motors commonly contain a "commutator" which allows a magnetic field due to a loop of wire to always be in a say "clockwise or counterclockwise" direction even tho the loop of wire is rotating.

That means that magnetic field due to the surrounding magnets is always in the same direction, but the magnetic field due to the rotating loop of wire is continually changing so that it will always oppose the surrounding field which remains in a constant direction.

This is most easily seen in a "DC - direct current motor".

A 175-kg roller coaster car starts from rest at the top of an 18.0-m hill and rolls down the hill, then up a second hill that ha

Anni [7]

Answer:

The work done by non-conservative forces on the car from the top of the first hill to the top of the second hill is 6574.75 joules.

Explanation:

By Principle of Energy Conservation and Work-Energy Theorem we present the equations that describe the situation of the roller coaster car on each top of the hill. Let consider that bottom has a height of zero meters.

From top of the first hill to the bottom

$m\cdot g \cdot h_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{1}^{2} +W_{1, loss}$ (1)

From the bottom to the top of the second hill

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot m\cdot v_{1}^{2} = m\cdot g \cdot h_{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{2}^{2}+W_{2,loss}$ (2)

Where:

$m$ - Mass of the roller coaster car, in kilograms.

$v_{1}$ - Speed of the roller coaster car at the bottom between the two hills, in meters per second.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, in meters per square second.

$h_{1}$ - Height of the first top of the hill with respect to the bottom, in meters.

$W_{1, loss}$ - Work done by non-conservative forces on the car between the top of the first hill and the bottom, in joules.

$v_{2}$ - Speed of the roller coaster car at the top of the second hill, in meters per seconds.

$h_{2}$ - Height of the second top of the hill with respect to the bottom, in meters.

$W_{2, loss}$ - Work done by non-conservative forces on the car bewteen the bottom between the two hills and the top of the second hill, in joules.

By using (1) and (2), we reduce the system of equation into a sole expression:

$m\cdot g\cdot h_{1} = m\cdot g\cdot h_{2} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{2}^{2} + W_{loss}$ (3)

Where $W_{loss}$ is the work done by non-conservative forces on the car from the top of the first hill to the top of the second hill, in joules.

If we know that $m = 175\,kg$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $h_{1} = 18\,m$ , $h_{2} = 8\,m$ and $v_{2} = 11\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the work done by non-conservative force is:
