A basketball player standing under the hoop shoots the ball straight up with an initial velocity of v0Part (a) What is the maxim

um height, h (in meters), above the launch point the basketball will achieve?
Physics

Mama L [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Maximum height will be h=\sqrt{\frac{v_0^2}{2g}}

Explanation:

We have given initial velocity through which basketball is thrown =v_0

Acceleration due to gravity =g\  m/sec^2

At maximum height velocity will be zero

So final velocity v = 0 m /sec

According to third equation of motion v^2=u^2+2gh

0^2=v_0^2-2gh ( Negative sign is due to upward acceleration )

h=\sqrt{\frac{v_0^2}{2g}}

When a solid is in the process of changing into a liquid and extra energy is added to the system, the temperature does not chang
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

D. The temperature does not change during a phase change because the average kinetic energy does not change. Therefore, the potential energy in the bonds between molecules must change.

Explanation:

When there is a change of state (for example, from solid into a liquid, as in this example), when energy is added to the system, the temperature of the substance does not change.

The reason for this is that the energy supplied is no longer used to increase the average kinetic energy of the particle, but instead it is used to break the bonds between the different particles/molecules. For instance, since in this case the substance is changing from solid to liquid, all the energy supplied during the phase change is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the solid: when the process is done, all the molecules will be free to slide past each other, and the substance has turned completely into a liquid.

The bonds between molecules store potential energy: therefore, this means that the energy supplied during the phase change is not used to change the kinetic energy, but to change the potential energy in the bonds between the molecules.

Why does your hand feel cool if you spill some alcohol on it?
son4ous [18]
<span>It takes heat to make something evaporate, so it takes heat from your arm. Alcohol easily evaporates at room temperature, so it feels cool. This is also why you feel cool when getting out of the pool. The water on your skin evaporates.

What is the period of a wave with a frequency of 100 Hz and a wavelength of 2.0 m
spin [16.1K]

The answer for the following answer is answered below.

  • <u><em>Therefore the time period of the wave is 0.01 seconds.</em></u>
  • <u><em>Therefore the option for the answer is "B".</em></u>

Explanation:

Frequency (f):

The number of  waves that pass a fixed place in a given amount of time.

The SI unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz)

Time period (T):

The time taken for one complete cycle of vibration to pass a given point.

The SI unit of time period is seconds (s)

Given:

frequency (f) = 100 Hz

wavelength (λ) = 2.0 m

To calculate:

Time period (T)

We know;

According to the formula;

<u>f =</u>\frac{1}{T}<u></u>

Where,

f represents the frequency

T represents the time period

from the formula;

  T = \frac{1}{f}

 T = \frac{1}{100}

  T = 0.01 seconds

<u><em>Therefore the time period of the wave is 0.01 seconds.</em></u>

A laser beam is incident on two slits with a separation of 0.195 mm, and a screen is placed 5.30 m from the slits. If the bright
kumpel [21]

Answer:

λ = 596 nm.

Explanation:

Fringe width = λ D / d

λ is wave length , D is screen distance and d is slit separation.

Putting the values

1.62 x 10⁻² =(  λ x 5.3 ) / .195 x 10⁻³

\lambda=\frac{1.62\times10^{-2}\times195\times10^{-6}}{5.3}

λ = 596 nm.
