How do you find the acceleration if time is not given?

To find the acceleration if the time is not given, you will need to know the velocity and the distance. Then, use this equation: d = vt + (1/2)at2 to solve the problem by plugging in your numbers for the distance and the velocity.


Is A steep slope on a displacement vs. time graph indicates a large velocity.?

Not necessarily. The slope could be steep but negative, and since negative numbers are less than positive numbers, no. But in both cases, the magnitude of the velocity (speed) is great. Also, at each point in the displacement vs. time graph, you can only get instantaneous velocity. A curve on the graph will indicate an acceleration. The next antiderivative of acceleration is jerk. According to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, the more certain you are of a particle's position OR velocity, the less certain you can be of the other property. On the displacement vs. time graph, either the particle is at a certain displacement and the velocity unknown, or the velocity between two points is known, but the displacement is unknown. That is, the velocity can be known between two points, but the particle resides somewhere between the two points at that time. The exact position is uncertain. Schroedinger had a cat. He put it in a box, and having no way to tell if the cat was alive or dead, it must be assumed to be both, simultaneously. But also because it is either alive or dead, and not both at once, yet also not partially one or the other, it must be assumed to also be neither at once. So Schroedinger's cat was both alive and dead, though it was neither. By corollary, the particle whose trajectory is described by the displacement vs. time graph has no velocity and has velocity at the same time.


Is steep slope on a displacement vs. time graph indicates a large velocity.?

It means a large acceleration, i.e. forward speed rapidly increasing or decreasing, or backward speed rapidly increasing. Note: It's really not possible to present a velocity-vs-time graph in any simple way. What you're looking at is a speed-vs-time graph.

What is the x coordinate of the ordered pair?

Usually the first of the two numbers that comprise the ordered pair. However, in the case of a displacement-time graph, the first is usually the t-coordinate (time) and the x-coordinate is the second (displacement).

What is denomirator?

When you have a number (or a function) written in the form a/b then b is the denominator (a is the numerator). a nd b may be numbers or variables. For example, in the equation: velocity = distance/time, time is the denominator.

How do you calculate the minimum initial velocity for a rocket to reach the Moon using the gravitational potential energy equation?

Once you have the gravitational potential energy required to move an object a certain distance away from the Earth, you simply plug it into the formula for the kinetic energy, and solve for speed.


Why do we use the light year to describe the distance of the galaxy?

Partly tradition, it's a large enough distance that it results in reasonable numbers when describing the range to various stars, and while not as "logical" as the parsec, it fits our mind sets.
