Graph

AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on a user seeking feedback on a graph depicting the velocity and acceleration of a hand reaching for an object. The user acknowledges imperfections in scale and plans to create a final version for submission. Responses indicate general approval of the graph's presentation. Participants emphasize the importance of accurately representing the relationship between position, velocity, and acceleration. Overall, the feedback is positive, with suggestions for improvement noted.

I have to draw a graph of showing the velocity and acceleration based on the position of a person's hand as it reaches for an object. I attached a scan of my work and was hopeful for some feedback. I realize it's not perfect in scale, and I plan to do a final copy for submission. Thank you in advance for the feedback.

I think that looks great!

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 '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}...

Thread 'Egg Drop Challenge! Need ideas for winning designs'

I was thinking using 2 purple mattress samples, and taping them together, I do want other ideas though, the main guidelines are; Must have a volume LESS than 1600 cubic centimeters, and CAN'T exceed 25 cm in ANY direction. Must be LESS than 1 kg. NO parachutes. NO glue or Tape can touch the egg. MUST be able to take egg out in less than 1 minute. Grade A large eggs will be used.
