    Physics 1 Speed
AI Thread 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 ^^^

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
