The time a basketball player spends in the air when shooting a basket is called the​ "hang time." the vertical leap l measured i

n feet is related to the hang time t measured in seconds by the equation lequals=4t2. suppose that a basketball player has a vertical leap of 4 feet 4 inches. find the hang time for this leap.

I believe that L is in feet while t is in seconds. To find for the hang time, all we have to do is to plug in the value of L in feet in the equation.

4 inches is equivalent to 4/12 feet or 0.33 feet, therefore the total L is:

L = 4.33 ft

Using the equation to find for t:

L = 4 t^2

4.33 = 4 t^2

<span>t = 1.04 s</span>

If a proton were released from rest at the sphere's surface, what would be its speed far from the sphere?
balu736 [363]

Let the sphere is having charge Q and radius R

Now if the proton is released from rest

By energy conservation we can say

U = K

\frac{kQe}{R} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

\frac{2kQe}{mR} = v^2

now take square root of both sides

v =\sqrt{\frac{2kQe}{mR}}

so the proton will move by above speed and

here Q = charge on the sphere

R = radius of sphere

k = 9 * 10^9

A 10-foot ladder is leaning straight up against a wall when a person begins pulling the base of the ladder away from the wall at
docker41 [41]

Answer:

y = 4.36

Explanation:

Let the height of the ladder be L

L = 10

Also:

  • Let x = distance\ from\ the\ base\ of\ the\ ladder
  • Let y = height\ of\ the\ base\ of\ the\ ladder

When the ladder leans against the wall, it forms a triangle and the length of the ladder forms the hypotenuse.

So, we have:

L^2 = x^2 + y^2 --- Pythagoras Theorem

When the base is 9ft from the wall, this means that:

x = 9

Substitute 9 for x and 10 for L in L^2 = x^2 + y^2

10^2 = 9^2 + y^2

100 = 81 + y^2

Make y^2 the subject

y^2 = 100 - 81

y^2 = 19

Make y the subject

y = \sqrt{19

y = 4.36

<em>Hence, the true distance at that point is approximately 4.36ft</em>

What is the centripetal force
Lelechka [254]

Answer:90N

Explanation:

Mass=30kg

Centripetal acceleration=3m/s^2

centripetal force=mass x centripetal acceleration

Centripetal force=30 x 3

Centripetal force =90

Centripetal force =90N

Modern wind turbines generate electricity from wind power. The large, massive blades have a large moment of inertia and carry a
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Each blade is in the form of rod with axis near one end of the rod

Moment of inertia of one blade

= 1/3 x m l²

where m is mass of the blade

l is length of each blade.

Total moment of moment of 3 blades

= 3 x\frac{1}{3}  x m l²

ml²

2 )

Given

m = 5500 kg

l = 45 m

Putting these values we get

moment of inertia of one blade

= 1/3 x 5500 x 45 x 45

= 37.125 x 10⁵ kg.m²

Moment of inertia of 3 blades

= 3 x 37.125 x 10⁵ kg.m²

= 111 .375 x 10⁵ kg.m²

c )

Angular momentum

= I x ω

I is moment of inertia of turbine

ω is angular velocity

ω = 2π f

f is frequency of rotation of blade

d )

I = 111 .375 x 10⁵ kg.m² ( Calculated )

f = 11 rpm ( revolution per minute )

= 11 / 60 revolution per second

ω = 2π f

=  2π  x  11 / 60 rad / s

Angular momentum

= I x ω

111 .375 x 10⁵ kg.m² x  2π  x  11 / 60 rad / s

= 128.23 x 10⁵  kgm² s⁻¹ .

Why silicon have large forward current as compared to germanium?​
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The structure of Germanium crystals will be destroyed at higher temperature. However, Silicon crystals are not easily damaged by excess heat. Peak Inverse Voltage ratings of Silicon diodes are greater than Germanium diodes. Si is less expensive due to the greater abundance of element.
