Graph Time

AI Thread Summary

Acceleration affects velocity over time, and the slope of a velocity versus time graph represents acceleration. In the discussed graph, no change in velocity is observed. Additionally, the slope of a position versus time graph indicates velocity. Understanding these concepts is crucial for interpreting motion graphs effectively. The discussion highlights the importance of grasping these foundational principles in physics.

Acceleration changes the velocity with respect to time.
Do you see any change in the velocity in the graph?

nope no change..

Here's a little lesson. The slope of a velocity versus time graph is a the acceleration. Why? m = \frac{v-v_o}{t-t_o}=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=a
Similarly the slope of a position versus time graph is equal to the velocity.

wow thanks buddy that went right over my head..0 haha. thanks again.

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
