Is a projectile motion graph a straight graph or a curved graph​

Physics
2 answers:
Usimov [2.4K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

» Projectile motion is a curved graph.

☑ This is because projectile motion consists of both vertical and horizontal motion, with one starting angle. Hence as the body starts motion, it is acted upon by gravity.

At point v = 0, the motion is free from gravity hence approaching horizontal motion.

Examples;

  • A ball kicked upwards at an angle which is not 90°
  • A man playing golf.
  • A plane dropping a bomb.

Hi there!

<u>Curved graph. </u>

For an object undergoing projectile motion, the HORIZONTAL component of its remains constant (assuming no air resistance), while the VERTICAL component is changing due to a constant acceleration due to gravity.

We can relate vertical displacement vs. time to this acceleration using the kinematic equation:

d_y= v_{y0}t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

dy = displacement (m)

vy₀ = initial vertical velocity (m/s)

t = time (s)

a = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

This is an example of a QUADRATIC equation, which means the trajectory of a projectile would form a parabolic shape.

<u>Thus, it would be a curved graph.</u>

I). Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in an object that is used to do work.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

false statement : b )  For the motion of a cart on an incline plane having a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.5, the magnitude of the change in kinetic energy equals the magnitude of the change in gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

mechanical energy = potential energy + kinetic energy = constant

differentiating both side

Δ potential energy + Δ kinetic energy = 0

Δ potential energy = -  Δ kinetic energy

first statement is true.

Friction is a non conservative force so inter-conversion of potential and kinetic energy is not possible in that case. In case of second  option,  the correct relation is as follows

change in gravitational potential energy = change in kinetic energy + work done against friction .

So given 2 nd  option is incorrect.

In case of no change in gravitational energy , work done is equal to

change in kinetic energy.

Torque can be best described as which of the following? Give an example of both a force and a torque and explain why in a couple
kicyunya [14]

Answer: rotational force

Explanation:

Torque is the twisting force which cause rotation and the axis of rotation is the point at which the object rotates.

Torque is a rotational force as it leads to the rotation of an object about an axis. Force simply means a pull or push. When an unbalanced ball acts on a force, the ball, the ball will be moved towards the linear motion.

Then, the unbalanced force that is acting in the ball produces torque which causes the ball's rotational motion.

Write down any four points that should be considered during household wiring
Shalnov [3]
1. Safety equipment is available
2. Person attempting the task has some general knowledge about wiring
3. Not All Cable is Color-Coded
Cable-sheath color coding started in 2001 and is still voluntary. If you have older wiring, don’t assume it complies with the current color coding. However, most manufacturers now follow the standard color code.
4. Stranded wire is more flexible than solid. If you’re pulling wire through conduit, stranded wire makes it easier to get around corners and bends in the conduit. However, if the situation requires pushing wires through conduit, you’ll want to use solid wire.
