What physical property does the slope of a velocity time graph represent?
velocity.
What is a property of moving objects that is determined by an object's mass and velocity?
momentum
Is velocity intensive or extensive property?
like temperature, density, boiling and melting point velocity is an Intensive property.
What is velocity determined by?
I believe Velocity is determined by speed and time.
Why is velocity a vector quantity and speed is a scalar quantity?
Because it is: * A property of physical objects * Something that can be measured (or calculated from other quantities) Hmm, it is certainly not a physical quantity that is unique to the object! Velocity is relative to some other object. Thus, the can he threw traveled at 12m/s relative to the tree but 220m/s relative to that car.
What properties of space determine the velocity of light?
The velocity of light and all electromagnetic radiation is determined by two properties of space. One is the electrical property which is permittivity and the other is the magnetic property which is permeability. Their values were determined more than 150 years ago by the great scientist Jame Clerk Maxwell. They are not constant in value, but vary based on the material in which they are located. In most cases they diminish the velocity, but in a few they increase it. If the value of either or both of these properties can be modified, then the velocity of light can also be modified.
How is kinetic energy of an object determined?
The kinetic energy of anything is determined by the mass and velocity of the substance. This is represented in the equation: KE=(1/2)mv2
Why would escape velocity be different on a different planet?
The escape velocity is determined by the gravity of the planet which in turn is determined by the mass and size of the planet
What is a property of a moving object resulting from its mass and velocity is?
The property you are looking for is the objects momentum. Momentum = Mass * Velocity.
What can be determined from a velocity time graph?
The simplest answer is the velocity of an object at a given time. It is also possible to determine the acceleration and displacement - but only in the same direction as the velocity. No information on motion in a transverse direction can be determined.
What physical property does the slope of a velocity-time graph represent?
AnswerWhen the mass of a material is plotted against volume, the slope of the line is the density of the material.
Does the color of the laser affect the velocity of the light wave projected by the laser?
No, velocity and color are independent. Color is determined by frequency, and speed is determined by what material the light is traveling through.
