A basketball player grabbing a rebound jumps 76.0 cm vertically. How much total time (ascent and descent) does the player spend

(a) in the top 15.0 cm of this jump and (b) in the bottom 15.0 cm? Do your results explain why such players seem to hang in the air at the top of a jump?

a) we can answer the first part of this by recognizing the player rises 0.76m, reaches the apex of motion, and then falls back to the ground we can ask how

long it takes to fall 0.13 m from rest: dist = 1/2 gt^2 or t=sqrt[2d/g] t=0.175

s this is the time to fall from the top; it would take the same time to travel

upward the final 0.13 m, so the total time spent in the upper 0.15 m is 2x0.175

= 0.35s

b) there are a couple of ways of finding thetime it takes to travel the bottom 0.13m first way: we can use d=1/2gt^2 twice

to solve this problem the time it takes to fall the final 0.13 m is: time it

takes to fall 0.76 m - time it takes to fall 0.63 m t = sqrt[2d/g] = 0.399 s to

fall 0.76 m, and this equation yields it takes 0.359 s to fall 0.63 m, so it

takes 0.04 s to fall the final 0.13 m. The total time spent in the lower 0.13 m

is then twice this, or 0.08s

Answer:

Part a)

T = 0.35 s

Part b)

T' = 0.041 s

So for top 15 cm the time interval is sufficiently larger than the time interval of last 15 cm

Explanation:

Part a)

Maximum height reached is

H = 76 cm

now the velocity of the player at starting position is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2ad

0 - v^2 = 2(-9.81)(0.76)

v = 3.86 m/s

time taken by it in top 15 cm position is given as

y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

0.15 = \frac{1}{2}(9.81)t^2

t = 0.175 s

so total time in that position is double because in that position first it will go up and then go down

T = 0.35 s

Part b)

Now for bottom position of 15 cm first we will find the time to reach (76 - 15)cm have

H = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

(0.76 - 0.15) = \frac{1}{2}(9.81)t^2

t_1 = 0.352 s

now for total time to drop

t_2 = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}

t_2 = 0.394 s

so time interval of last 15 cm is given as

t' = 0.394 - 0.352

T' = 0.041 s

So for top 15 cm the time interval is sufficiently larger than the time interval of last 15 cm

Determine the specific heat of a certain metal if a 450 gram sample of it loses 34 500 Joules of heat as its temperature starts
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

c = 0.4356 J/gK

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 450 grams

Initial temperature, T1 = 150°C

Final temperature, T2 = 53°C

Quantity of heat = 34500 Joules

To find the specific heat capacity of the metal;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 53 - 150

dt = -97°C

Converting the temperature in Celsius to Kelvin, we have;

dt = 273 + (-97) = 176 Kelvin

Making c the subject of formula, we have;

c = \frac {Q}{mdt}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

c = \frac {34500}{450*176}

c = \frac {34500}{79200}

c = 0.4356 J/gK

A train car has a mass of 10,000 kg and is moving at +3.0 m/s. It strikes an identical train car that is at rest. The train cars
shtirl [24]
In order to compute the final velocity of the trains, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum which is:
initial momentum = final momentum
m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

The final mass of the trains will be:
10,000 + 10,000 = 20,000 kg
Substituting the values into the equation:

10,000 * 3 = 20,000 * v
v = 1.5 m/s

The final velocity of the trains will be 1.5 m/s
