Based on the graph, which is true about the motion of this object? A. The object is accelerating at a variable speed. B. The object is experiencing negative velocity; it is speeding up. C. The object is experiencing negative velocity; it is slowing down. D. The object is experiencing constant velocity and constant speed.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

hmm, and the graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i add a graph

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if you have it as a picture file, theres an 'attach picture' button

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if you can get a screenshot or picture of it in some way, you should be able to upload it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you get it

OpenStudy (amistre64):

its there yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help now

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i might be able to. what do you know as far as formulas or just some intuition for this problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the object was going fast

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is not D

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if im reading it right, this charts position over time, if we imagine a vector (an arrow) that is tangent to the curve: ... we would see that the arrow is pointing down (from left to right) indicating a negative velocity as the we move more to the right, the arrow becomes more level, telling us that the speed of it all is slowing down over time. C makes the most sense to me as well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cheers thank you

OpenStudy (amistre64):

good luck with it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i give you a medal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and can you help me on somemore

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if theres not a 'best response' button to the right of all my posts try refreshing your browser. ah you found it

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i can try, but physics in general is not my strongest subject.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A marble with a mass 0.01kg is accelerating across an ice rink at 1 m/s2. What is the amount of force being applied to the marble according to Newton's second law? A. 1.02 × 10-3 N B. 100 N C. 0.01 N D. 0.098 N

OpenStudy (amistre64):

we should prolly start by stating the formula associated with newtons second law, the rest is just simple math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i never learned the fourmla

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but is it A it looks like the only fourmla one

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if you dont recall the formula, can you recall newtons second law?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then to help you learn it better, i am going to ask you to find newtons second law either in your course materials, or by using google. once we have some idea as to what it is, then we can address the solution to the problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which defines displacement, a value required to calculate average velocity? A. the mass of the object and the direction of the force on the object B. the distance the object traveled and the time it took to travel C. the amount and direction of force acting on the object D. the distance the object traveled and the direction of travel i know displacement is time and distance so is it B

OpenStudy (amistre64):

im torn between B and D on that one
