Accelerating Car Graph Time

AI Thread Summary

To graph a distance vs. time problem for a car uniformly accelerating from rest over 10 seconds, the resulting graph will be a parabolic curve, not a diagonal line. This is because the distance covered increases with the square of the time due to constant acceleration. A diagonal line would indicate constant speed, which is not the case here. Understanding the relationship between distance, time, and acceleration is crucial for accurately representing the motion. Clarifying these concepts will aid in creating the correct graph.

I need to graph a distance vs. time problem.

I have a car uniformly accelerating from rest to 10 seconds.

Would it be a normal dianagnol line, or would it be a power curve?

help is welcome.

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks

Thread 'Linear generator prototype'

i want to just test a linear generator with galvanometer , the magnet is N28 and the wire (Cu) is of 0.6mm thikness and 10m long , but galvanometer dont show anthing , The core is PLA material (3d printed) The magnet size if 28mm * 10mm * 5mm

Thread 'Fundamental Probability'

If the universe is fundamentally probabilistic, and all possible outcomes are realized in some branch of the multiverse, does that invalidate the concept of scientific inquiry? If knowledge is merely a description of one particular branch of reality, does it have any inherent value?
