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!

What is the wavelength of an fm radio signal that has a frequency of 91.7 mhz?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The wavelength of the radio wave will be 3.271 m

Explanation:

We have given frequency of the radio signal f=91.7MhZ=91.7\times 10^6Hz

Speed of the light c=3\times 10^8m/sec

We have to find the wavelength of the radio signal

We know that wavelength is given by \lambda =\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3\times 10^8}{91.7\times 10^6}=3.271m

So the wavelength of the radio wave will be 3.271 m

What is the power generation in a machine that produces 76 j in 3.7s
ICE Princess25 [194]
Power is the ratio between energy and time:
P= \frac{E}{t}
In our problem we have E=76 J and t=3.7 s. Therefore, the power is
P= \frac{76 J}{3.7 s} =20.5 W

Can a small child play with fat child on the seesaw?Explain how?
RoseWind [281]
Yes a small child can play with fat child in the seesaw because if the the load distance is decreased the effort will increase. That's means if the distance between the fat boy and the fulcrum is decreased the small child needs less effort.so,he can play

A 77.0 kg ice hockey goalie, originally at rest, catches a 0.150 kg hockey puck slapped at him at a velocity of 22.0 m/s. Suppos
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

For elestic collision

v₁ = \frac{(m_1-m_2)u_1}{m_1+m_2} +\frac{2m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}

v_2 = [tex]\frac{(m_2-m_1)u_2}{m_1+m_2} +\frac{2m_1u_1}{m_1+m_2}[/tex]

Here u₁ = 0 , u₂ = 22 m/s , m₁ = 77 kg , m₂ = .15 kg ,  v₁ and v₂ are velocity of goalie and puck after the collision.

v₁ = 0 + ( 2 x .15 x22 )/ 77.15  

= .085 m / s

Velocity of goalie will be .085 m/s in the direction of original velocity of ball before collision.

v₂ = (.15 - 77)x 22 / 77.15 +0

= - 21.91 m /s

=Velocity of puck will be - 21.91 m /s  in the direction opposite  to original velocity of ball before collision.
