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

Physics

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>

What is latitude 20 degrees north and longitude 65 degrees west?
Marta_Voda [28]
<span>The latitude 20 degrees north and longitude 65 degrees west is in the Atlantic Ocean, north of Puerto. The north coast region of Puerto Rico named "Porta Atlantico" faces the dark blue Atlantic Ocean. On the off chance that you long for unwinding on a tranquil shoreline, losing all sense of direction in the magnificence of waves smashing, and being calmed by their song, you might need to remain on the north drift, lease an auto and investigate.</span>

Given that coal used by electric power plants has a heating value of 27.5 million btus metric ton (25 million btus per ton), det
fredd [130]

Answer:

• 36.4 kg of coal.

• 80 pounds of coal.

Explanation:

Using proportionality constant,

Mass of coal = 1,000,000/27,500,000 btus/metric ton

= 0.0364 metric tons of coal

Mass of coal = 1,000,000/25,000,000 btus/ton

= 0.04 tons of coal.

Converting metric tons to kilogram,

1 metric ton = 1000kg,

0.0364 metric ton;

= 36.4 kg of coal.

Converting tons to pounds,

1 ton = 2000 pounds,

0.04 metric ton;

= 80 pounds of coal.
