    Physics 1 Speed
Click For Summary
The ranking of speeds from least to greatest based on the position-time graph is R > P > Q = S. R has a steeper slope than P, indicating a greater speed. P has a positive slope, confirming it has a non-zero speed. Both Q and S have horizontal slopes, indicating no movement and therefore zero speed. The explanations provided for the rankings are accurate.

Homework Statement
(E) Rank the values of the particles speed at points P, Q, R, S from fastest to slowest
Relevant Equations
Speed = distance/time
My answer is R > P > Q = S

Since R is more steeper than P the speed is greater, speed is a non-negative unit so i assume that speed of R will be greater than P
Speed of P has a positive slope, also the magnitude is positive.
Q and S are the same due to the fast that they both horizontal slopes which means the object is not moving which means no speed.

This is my work , correct me if i'm wrong, thanks ^^^

If have close pipe system with water inside pressurized at P1= 200 000Pa absolute, density 1000kg/m3, wider pipe diameter=2cm, contraction pipe diameter=1.49cm, that is contraction area ratio A1/A2=1.8 a) If water is stationary(pump OFF) and if I drill a hole anywhere at pipe, water will leak out, because pressure(200kPa) inside is higher than atmospheric pressure (101 325Pa). b)If I turn on pump and water start flowing with with v1=10m/s in A1 wider section, from Bernoulli equation I...
