AI Thread Summary
To analyze a Velocity-Time Graph, acceleration can be determined by calculating the slope of the graph, which represents the change in velocity over time. Maximum displacement can be found by calculating the area under the velocity curve, while the total distance traveled is the sum of the areas, considering any segments below the time axis as negative. For a Displacement-Time Graph, the slope indicates velocity, and the curvature can indicate changes in acceleration. Understanding these relationships is crucial for interpreting motion accurately. This foundational knowledge is essential for solving problems related to motion in physics.

How can I find the acceleration,max displacement,distance... in Velocity Time Graph and Displacement Time Graph? Please help me

Welcome to PF!

Hi slobodan48! Welcome to PF! :wink:

Let's take the Velocity-Time Graph first …

how do you think you can measure the acceleration, maximum displacement, and distance from that? :smile:
 
Perhaps you could state a definition for acceleration, and work from there.
 

Thread 'Average velocity as a weighted mean'

Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds? Best regards, DaTario

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
