Answer to Problem 9STP
Correct option is D.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.
Instantaneous acceleration is defined as the acceleration of an object at any instant of time during its motion.
Instantaneous acceleration is equal to the limiting value of the average acceleration as
Therefore, Instantaneous acceleration
Option (A) is not correct as the slope of position time graph represents velocity not acceleration.
Option (B) is not correct as the area under position time graph describes the answer with unit
Option (C) is incorrect as the area under the velocity − time graph represents the displacement of the object.
Option (D): is correct as the slope of velocity time graph represents acceleration.
Conclusion:
D is the correct option.

If the coefficient of static friction between a table and a uni- form, massive rope is μs, what fraction of the rope can hang over the edge of the table without the rope sliding? 5.97 Block A, with weight Figure P5.97 3w, slides down an inclined plane S of slope angle 36.9° at a constant speed while plank B, with weight w, rests on top of A. The plank is attached by a cord to the wall (Fig. P5.97). (a) Draw a diagram of all the forces acting on block A.

- 5.60 An adventurous archaeologist crosses between two rock cliffs by slowly going hand over hand along a rope stretched between the cliffs. He stops to rest at the middle of the rope (Fig. P5.60). The rope will break if the tension in it exceeds 2.50 X 104 N, and our hero's mass is 90.0 kg. (a) If the angle is 10.0°, what is the tension in the rope?
