How is the position of a particle moving along a straight line described by a number?

The position of the particle can be given by a number representing the distance of the particle from some fixed reference point (called the origin).
This is not enough to describe the motion of the particle since for that you also required the time (or times) at which the particle is at any particular point.

Position of a particle moving along the x axis varies in time according to x equals 3t2 evaluate its positons at t equals 3s?
s(t) = 3t^2, t = 3 s s(3) = 3(3^2) s(3) = 27 units
What is one tenth of 340?
34 is one tenth of 340. This can be found by moving the decimal place one position to the left.
What is a straight line that intersects a curve?
A straight line that intersects a circle or curve at two points, but which has both end points outside the circle or curve is called a secant. A straight line that links two points on a circle or curve is called a chord. A straight line which touches a circle or curve at one point is called a tangent. A straight line that cuts a circle or curve at one point is a straight line.* For moving diagrams see Related links below this box.
Is distance time graph for acceleration always a straight line?
no because it is possible the object moving make go backwards so the the line will go into the negatives on the graph
What is the nature of distance time graph for the motion of an object moving with a changing speed?
An incline represents acceleration, a straight line represents a constant speed and a decline represents slowing down.
According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle if the position of a moving particle is known what other quantity cannot be known?
According to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle if the position of a moving particle is known velocity is the other quantity that cannot be known. Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that the impossibility of knowing both velocity and position of a moving particle at the same time.

Does a particle moving in a straight line have acceleration?
A particle moving in a straight line may or may not have acceleration. Acceleration is adifferent phenomenon altogether. the rate of change of velocity is acceleration, a particle can move in a straight line with a constant velocity thus having no acceleration & it can also move with increasing or decreasing velocities thereby accelerating or deaccelerating.
Can it be possible that a particle have constant speed must have zero acceleration?
It's possible, but not necessary, that a particle moving with constant speedhas zero acceleration. In order for acceleration to be zero, it's also necessarythat the particle be moving in a straight line.An object moving with constant speed around a curve has acceleration."Acceleration" does not mean "speeding up".
How do you create a straight line that slopes up on a position-time graph?
A straight line with a positive slope on a position-time graph is the graph of an object that's moving in a straight line with constant speed.
Is a delta particle a fast moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay?
No, a delta particle is not a fast moving electron given off by a nucleus during radioactive decay. The electron described here is a beta particle, and specifically a beta minus particle. It is given off in (no surprise) beta minus decay. A link to a related question can be found below.
Why are sine and cosine functions called harmonic?
Sinusoid shape of the sine and cosine functions appear as oscillations. If an object is moving in a straight line and its position (function of time) can be described as sinusoid then it is referred to as a simple harmonic motion.
Can the displacment vector for a particle moving in two directions ever be longer than the length thraveled by the particle?
In a Euclidean space, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, so no.
What is 2 dimensional position vector?
A vector represented in Cartesian plane. For eg velocity of particle moving on road taking into account length and breadth of road. An ant moving on a floo
When faster moving and slower moving particles collide which particles gain energy?
It depends upon the mass of the particles also. Assuming equal mass, then the slower moving particle gains some energy, and the faster moving particle loses energy. However, if the slower moving particle had greater mass, it could transfer energy to the faster moving particle.
Does the position-time graph of an object moving with a constant average velocity is always a straight line?
yes
Which is the heaviest and slow moving particle in nuclear instrumentation?
The heaviestis the alpha particle.
