Use the graph above to determine the change in speed of the object between 20 and 30 seconds?

Use the graph above to determine the change in speed of the object between 20 and 30 seconds class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

6 m/s

Explanation:

To determine the change in speed of the object, we just need to determine its speed at t = 30 s and at t = 20 s, and then calculate the difference.

The speed at t = 30 is:

v = 6 m/s

While the speed at t = 20 s is:

u = 0

Therefore, the change in speed is:

[tex]\Delta v = v-u=6-0 = 6 m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

The attached figure shows the acceleration time graph of an object. We known that the slope of the a-t graph gives the velocity of an object. The area under the a-t graph gives the velocity of object.

In x axis, time t = 30 s- 20 s = 10 s

In y axis, acceleration, [tex]a = 6 - 0=6\ m/s^2[/tex]

Area under the graph from 20 to 30 seconds is given by :

[tex]A=v=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 10\times 6[/tex]

v = 30 m/s

So, the change in speed of the object is 30 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
