What is the area under a jerk vs time graph?
Since jerk is defined as the derivative (the rate of change) of acceleration, in the case of the area under the curve, it is the other way round: the integral (area under the curve) for jerk is the acceleration.
What is the equation for the curve of an acceleration vs mass graph?
It depends on the force acting on the body in question. Depending on which way you want your independent and dependent variables set up, the equation is either Acceleration = Force/mass or Mass = Force/acceleration
Is Average velocity the slope of the line tangent to the curve on a velocity time graph at a specific instant of time?
No, it is instantaneous acceleration.
When an object is traveling in a circular path around another object?
Yes an object can be accelerate if its moving along a curve path because when the object moves along a curve path it has constant speed and there is still change in velocity and change in velocity has acceleration
What is slope of velocity graph?
The slope of a straight line tells the rate at which your variables are changing. In this case, it tells you how your velocity is changing over time, which in physics is how we define acceleration. If you graph the velocity of an object vs time when it is falling through the air, it gives to the acceleration due to gravity because that is the acceleration all objects fall at.
How can you find the retardation of a curve in a speed time graph?
Calculate the gradient of the curve which will give the acceleration. Change the sign of the answer to convert acceleration into retardation.
What is velocity-time curve?
The graph of velocity-time is the acceleration.
When a car rounds a curve it's acceleration is zero?
Actually, a car always accelerates on a curve. This is because acceleration, like the velocity it alters, is a vector that has both magnitude and direction. Since taking a curve involves a change of direction, there must be an acceleration to alter the direction; otherwise, the car can only continue straight.
Is a car that follows a gentle curve in the road an example of acceleration?
If the vehicle is gaining speed on that gentle curve, yes. Otherwise, no.
What is instantaneous accerlation?
that is acceleration at a particular point in time. If acceleration is changing with time, it is the slope of the velocity vs. time curve.
What does the slope of the tangent to the curve on a velocity-time graph measure?
it measures the magnitude of acceleration, but it can't tell you the direction of the acceleration.
What does the slope of the curve on a velocity time graph represent?
The rate of Change in acceleration.
When you graph acceleration vs time you get what shape?
An acceleration curve. Without knowing more details it's impossible to answer more precisely than that.
What is the area under a jerk vs time graph?
Since jerk is defined as the derivative (the rate of change) of acceleration, in the case of the area under the curve, it is the other way round: the integral (area under the curve) for jerk is the acceleration.
Why does the shape of the free fall curve tell you about how an object moces when it is in free fall?
if its a velocity / time curve, it will show diminishing acceleration (slope of the curve) up to terminal velocity (forces balanced)
A car moves in uniform circular motion around a curve in the road What is the direction of the car's acceleration?
If the speed is constant, the acceleration is toward the center of the circle.
A car travels a highway 55 miles per hour what is its speed and acceleration?
Its speed is 55 mph, and if the highway doesn't curve, then its acceleration is zero.
