A basketball player throws a ball at 60° to the horizontal at a net 4.0m away. The height of the net is 3.3m. The ball leaves hi

s hands at a height 2.0m from the ground. What is the initial speed of the ball?
Th pic above is my ans, but it's quite wierd. So if it's wrong, what is the correct ans, and why my ans is wrong(what mistakes i did). Thanks

Excellent work!
Your calculations are correct, but near the end, you have forgotten to cancel u.  If you cancel the u, the linear term becomes a constant, and the resultant equation becomes a simple quadratic which is much easier to solve.
I get u=7.468 m/s using g=9.81 (as you did)
You will rework and should get 7.468 m/s as well.

Congrats for the good work!

Answer:

The resultant velocity is  v_t=10 knots

Explanation:

Apply the law of conservation of momentum

     M_L *v_L + M_f * V_f = (M_L + M_f) v_t

Where M_L is the mass of the Luxury Liner = 40,000 ton

            v_L is the velocity of Luxury Liner = 20 knots due west

            M_f mass of freighter = 60,000

           v_f is the velocity of freighter = 10 knots due north

Apply the law of conservation of momentum toward the the west direction

         v_f = 0 \ knots

So the equation would be

              M_L *v_L = (M_L + M_f) v_t

Substituting values

            40000*20 = (40000+ 60000)v_t_w

Where v_t_w the final velocity due west

Making v_t_w the subject

          v_t_w = \frac{40,000* 20}{(40000 + 60000)}

                = 8 \ knots

Apply the law of conservation of momentum toward the the north direction          

          v_L = 0 \ knots

So the equation would be

           M_f *v_f = (M_L + M_f) v_t_n

Where v_t_n the final velocity due north

     Making v_t_n the subject

          v_t_n = \frac{60,000* 10}{(40000 + 60000)}

                = 6 \ knots

The resultant velocity is

       v_t = \sqrt{v_t_w^2 + v_t_n^2}

            = \sqrt{8^2 +6^2}

           v_t=10 knots

If a stone is dropped from a height of 400 feet, its height after t seconds is given by s = 400 − 16t2. Find its instantaneous v
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

v = -32 t

Explanation:

given,

s = 400- 16 t²

we know,

Velocity of an object is defined as the change in displacement per unit change in time.

velocity an also be return as

v = \dfrac{ds}{dt}

v = \dfrac{d}{dt}(400-16t^2)

v= 0 -2\times 16 t

v = -32 t

Hence, instantaneous velocity function given by v = -32 t

To calculate instantaneous velocity, you need to insert value of time.

ex, instantaneous velocity at t = 4 s

       v = -32 x 4 = -128 m/s.
