What would be the shape of a displacement versus time graph for an object?
the displacement mean the shortest distance between two points. the shape of displacement where the objects move and its also help us to tell the shape of displacement with the use of graph.
What shape would the graph of U versus x have if a particle were in a region of neutral equilibrium?
In neutral equilibrium, displacement in either direction would not affect the potential energy of the particle, therefore, the graph would be horizontal.
How would you measure the volume of an object with a irregular shape?
Displacement
What is the shape of a displacement-time graph for an object that is constantly speeding up?
If the Object is falling at a constant velocity the shape of the graph would be linear. If the object is falling at a changing velocity (Accelerating) the shape of the graph would be exponential- "J' Shape.
If a skydiver shot a pistol at another skydiver in mid free fall what would happen?
The bullet would either hit or miss the target, depending on how good the aim of the first skydiver was. Since the shooter was in free fall, he would be pushed back and probably begin to rotate rapidly.
What would be the shape of a speed versus time graph for an object in free fall?
The graph is a straight line whose slope is the acceleration of gravity.
What effect would opening a parachute have on a skydiver's fall?
Only if they have a heart attack, but not likely.
What is a skydivers velocity after 2 seconds?
Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s/s, which is the same as 9.8m/s2. An acceleration of 9.8m/s/s means that with each passing second, the velocity of the skydiver increases by 9.8m/s. Therefore, after two seconds. a skydiver's velocity would be 19.6m/s. The acceleration will continue at 9.8m/s/s until the skydiver reaches terminal velocity, at which point the weight of the skydiver and the air resistance will be balanced, so the net force acting on the skydiver will be zero, at which point there will be no further acceleration.
How long would it take a skydiver to jump from 62 miles up?
Where do you come up with 62 miles? That's in excess of 300,000', pretty much outside the atmosphere. At that altitude the skydiver would exhilarate to well in excess of the speed of sound. The highest skydive was at 108,000'.
What will be the acceleration of a skydiver when air resistance is one tenth the weight of the skydiver?
Terminal airspeed for a skydiver is approximately 120mph (oriented on belly). Mass of the skydiver affects the speed ! So heavier generally falls faster. (drop a ping pong ball versus a golfball) So, the weight of the skydiver will not affect the air resistance. His clothing will affect it, and his body position. Lastly, air pressure changes with altitude, so the density of the air is less as you go higher. So, exit altitude will also be a factor, as the air pressure will change the air resistance due to density. Bet you're sorry you asked. As a skydiving instructor, if I weighed 1/10 my weight, i would expect to fall really slow. something ridiculous, like 30mph. If you made air resistance 1/10th we would get going quite fast. 200-250mph? Col Joe Kittenger jumped form 103,000feet from a balloon. He experienced an almost frictionless descent for a bit, which led people to believe to break the sound barrier.
What is an alternative to water displacement for finding the volume of a solid?
If the solid is a regular shape, such as a cylinder or sphere, you can find the appropriate dimensions and use formulas to find the result. If it is of a irregular size, I doubt if there is another method (even if there is, displacement of water would most likely be the simplest method)
When would one use a laser displacement sensor?
One would use a laser displacement sensor when positioning objects, for example, the laser will give positive displacement when an object moves away and a negative displacement when the object is getting closer.
