Answer:

Maximum height, h = 1.27 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the basketball, u = 5 m/s

At maximum height, the final speed of the basketball, v = 0

Let h is the maximum height reached by the basketball from its release point. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

v^2-u^2=2as

Here, a = -g

-u^2=-2gh

u^2=2gh

h=\dfrac{u^2}{2g}

h=\dfrac{(5)^2}{2\times 9.8}

h = 1.27 meters

So, the maximum height reached by the basketball from its release point is 1.27 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

1.275 m

Explanation:

Let the maximum height reached be h.

Here initial velocity, u = 5 m/s

Final velocity, V = 0

Use third equation of motion

V^2 = u^2 + 2 g h

0 = 25 - 2 × 9.8 × h

h = 25/19.6 = 1.275 m

A 100 Kg man is diving off a 50 meter cliff. What is his kinetic energy when he is 20 meters from the water?
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

K.E=29.403125J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass M=100

Height 50-20=30m

Generally the equation for velocity before impact is is is mathematically given by

v=\sqrt{2gh}

v=\sqrt{2*9.8*30}

v=24.25

Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy is is mathematically given by

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

K.E=\frac{1}{2}*100*(24.25)^2\\

K.E=29403.125J

K.E=29.403125J

A traves de una manguera de 1 in de diámetro fluye gasolina con una velocidad media de 5ft/s ¿cuál es el gasto?
jonny [76]

Answer:

El gasto de gasto es de aproximadamente 0.0273 pies cúbicos por segundo.

Explanation:

El gasto es el flujo volumétrico de gasolina (Q), medido en pies cúbicos por segundo, que sale de la manguera. Asumiendo que la velocidad de salida es constante, tenemos que el gasto a través de la manguera es:

Q = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D^{2}\cdot v (1)

Donde:

D - Diámetro de la manguera, medido en pies.

v - Velocidad medida de salida, medida en pies por segundo.

Si sabemos que D = \frac{1}{12}\,ft y v = 5\,\frac{ft}{s }, entonces el gasto de gasolina es:

Q = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot \left(\frac{1}{12}\,ft \right)^{2} \cdot \left(5\,\frac{ft}{s} \right)

Q \approx 0.0273\,\frac{ft^{3}}{s}

El gasto de gasto es de aproximadamente 0.0273 pies cúbicos por segundo.

A rock climber hangs freely from a nylon rope that is 15 m long and has a diameter of 8.3 mm. If the rope stretches 5.1 cm, what
irinina [24]

Answer:

Mass of the climber = 69.38 kg

Explanation:

Change in length

        \Delta L=\frac{PL}{AE}

Load, P = m x 9.81 = 9.81m

Young's modulus, Y = 0.37 x 10¹⁰ N/m²

Area

       A=\frac{\pi (8.3\times 10^{-3})^2}{4}=5.41\times 10^{-5}m^2

Length, L = 15 m

ΔL = 5.1 cm = 0.051 m

Substituting

       0.051=\frac{9.81m\times 15}{5.41\times 10^{-5}\times 0.37\times 10^{10}}\\\\m=69.38kg  

Mass of the climber = 69.38 kg

Light from distant galaxies most likely shows a ...red shift, indicating that the universe is expandingblue shift, indicating th
ELEN [110]

Answer:

red shift, indicating that the universe is expanding

Explanation:

Doppler effect occurs when a source of a wave (e.g. light, or sound waves) moves relative to an observer; as a result of this relative motion, the wavelength of the wave appears lengthened/shortened to the observer. Two situations can occur:

- The source of the wave is moving towards the observer - in this case, the wavelength of the wave becomes shorter. If the wave is visible light, such as the light emitted by distant galaxies, this means that the wavelength of the light shifts towards the blue-end of the spectrum (blue-shift)

- The source of the wave is moving away from the observer - in this case, the wavelength of the wave becomes longer. If the wave is visible light, such as the light emitted by distant galaxies, this means that the wavelength of the light shifts towards the red-end of the spectrum (red-shift)

In our universe, we observe a red-shift for all the distant galaxies: this means that these galaxies are moving away from us, so this is an indication that the universe is expanding.
