A basketball player can leap upward 0.43 m. how long does he remain in the air? use an acceleration due to gravity of 9.80 m/s2

MArishka [77]

From the equations of linear motion,
v² = u² + 2as where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity and a is the gravitational acceleration, and s is the displacement,
Thus, v² = u² -2gs, but v=0
hence, u² = 2gs
= 2×9.81×0.43
= 8.4366
u = √8.4366
=2.905 m/s
Hence the initial velocity is 2.905 m/s
Then using the equation v= u +gt .
Therefore, v = u -gt. (-g because the player is jumping against the gravity)
but, v = 0
Thus, u= gt
Hence, t = u/g
= 2.905/9.81
= 0.296 seconds

A 70.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 1.60 m/s^2, What is the net external force (in N) on him? (Enter the ma

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

External force on him will be 112 N

Explanation:

We have given the mass of the sprinter m =70 kg

Acceleration of the sprinter $a=1.6m/sec^2$

We have to find the net external force

According to second law of motion force = mass ×acceleration

Force is dependent on the mass and acceleration

So $F=70\times 1.6=112 N$

So external force will be 112 N

The velocity as a function of time of a moving particle is given by v = α+ βt2 , where α and β are constants and t is time in s.

marin [14]

The acceleration of the particle at 3s is [tex]a = 6 \beta [/tex]

$v = \alpha + \beta {t}^{2}$

<h3>How to calculate acceleration </h3>

$a = \frac{dv}{dt} \\ v = \alpha + \beta {t}^{2} \\ \frac{dv}{dt} = 0 + 2 \beta t \\$

if Time is given as 3s

therefore, Acceleration is

$a = 2 \beta t \\ a = 2 \beta 3 \\ a = 2 \times \beta \times 3 \\ a = 6 \beta$

Acceleration is

$a = 6 \beta$

Technician A says crimping solderless connections is the best method of splicing wires. Technician B says crimping should not be

algol13

Answer:

Technician b is correct.

Explanation:

Crimping cable allows a firm connection in mechanical terms and allows a low resistance path for the signal or the current flow, solder although it is better in terms of electrical conduction, can be impractical if the cable is subjected to excessive movement.

A crimped cable with excessive movement can also be easily broken at the ends, where it joins the part of the cable that is crimped, for this reason, a cable that is in excessive motion is recomended to be spliced by joining cable with cable .

In order to decide which metod is better for splicing cables its necessary to evaluate each situation separatly.

I want to know about the inventions caused due to rain. Like the Benjamin Franklin's Lightning Conductor. I have to make a chart

nydimaria [60]

Franklin had been waiting for an opportunity like this. He wanted to demonstrate the electrical nature of lightning, and to do so, he needed a thunderstorm.

He had his materials at the ready: a simple kite made with a large silk handkerchief, a hemp string, and a silk string. He also had a house key, a Leyden jar (a device that could store an electrical charge for later use), and a sharp length of wire. His son William assisted him.

Franklin had originally planned to conduct the experiment atop a Philadelphia church spire, according to his contemporary, British scientist Joseph Priestley (who, incidentally, is credited with discovering oxygen), but he changed his plans when he realized he could achieve the same goal by using a kite.
