    will have a curve showing increasing speed or in other words‚ increasing velocity over time. Therefore‚ the results shown in the velocity vs. time graph will have a positive linear slope. The acceleration vs. time graph will then have no slope and just a straight line because the change of velocity is relatively constant. In conclusion‚ when the mass of the weight increases‚ the acceleration won’t and only the speed and velocity over time will change. Materials -Laptop computer -Smart pulley -Retort

    PHY 1103 Physics I RKMC - HCT   Learning Outcome 1: Sub-outcome 1: Assign given basic units to their corresponding physical quantities. All engineers must use the same language in their communications‚ and one of these universal communication tools is the units of measurements. Physical quantities such as length‚ weight‚ time‚ speed‚ force‚ and mass are measured with standard units. Therefore the magnitude if a physical quantity is given by a number and standard unit of measurement

    uniform accleration. Its velocity after 5 sec is 25m/s and after 8 sec‚it is 34 m/s. Find the distance travelled by this object in 12th second. Ans. 44.5 A particle starts with a velocity of 100 cm/s and moves with –2 cm/s2 acceleration. When its velocity be zero and how far will it have gone? Ans. 50s ‚ 25m m/s. After 7 a time interval ∆t‚ the velocity of the body is reduced by half‚ and after the same time interval‚ the velocity is again reduced by half. Determine the velocity (in ms–1 ) vf of the

    1  Velocity‚ Speed‚ Acceleration‚ and Deceleration The goal for today is to better understand what we mean by terms such as velocity‚ speed‚ acceleration‚ and deceleration. Let’s start with an example‚ namely the motion of a ball thrown upward and then acted upon by gravity. A major source of confusion in problems of this sort has to do with blurring the distinction between speed and velocity. The speed s is‚ by definition‚ the magnitude of the velocity vector: s := |v|. Note the contrast: –

    regular time intervals on a diagram; (3) drawing vectors showing displacement‚ velocity‚ and acceleration and their x and y components at different times. (4) using vector equations to represent velocity and acceleration vectors quantitatively. In this activity you will practice representing the motion shown in Figure 1 using vectors and vector equations that represent displacements as well as average velocities and accelerations in the 1/15th of a second time intervals between position measurements

    Part A At what time (in the arbitrary time units of the graph) is the speed of the table (and hence the speed of the blood in the opposite direction) a maximum? Hint 1. How to read the graph The graph is acceleration versus time. Remember that velocity is the signed area under the acceleration curve. As long as the acceleration is positive‚ the speed is increasing. Once the acceleration becomes negative‚ the speed will begin to decrease back to zero. ANSWER: 3 Correct Problem 2.6 Geology. Earthquakes
