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?

Mama L [17]3 years ago

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}}

Most of the resistance of the human body comes from the skin, as the interior of the body contains aqueous solutions that are go
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

a) Resistivity=R.A/L

Here, R=500000ohm, L=1.6m, A=2pi* (0.14/2)*0.002 m2=0.00088.........we have converted quantities into SI units

Resistivity=R.A/L

=500000*0.00088/1.6 = 440/1.6= 275 ohm.meter

b) pskin/pinterior =275/4.8=57.3

For second part, correct option is (A), because cross section area is smaller.

A hot air balloon is hovering in the air when it drops a 40 Kg food package to some lost golfers. If the package is dropped from
UNO [17]
We can calculate this with the law of conservation of energy. Here we have a food package with a mass m=40 kg, that is in the height h=500 m and all of it's energy is potential. When it is dropped, it's potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy. So we can say that its kinetic and potential energy are equal, because we are neglecting air resistance:

Ek=Ep, where Ek=(1/2)*m*v² and Ep=m*g*h, where m is the mass of the body, g=9.81 m/s² and h is the height of the body.

(1/2)*m*v²=m*g*h, masses cancel out and we get:

(1/2)*v²=g*h, and we multiply by 2 both sides of the equation

v²=2*g*h, and we take the square root to get v:

v=√(2*g*h)

v=99.04 m/s

So the package is moving with the speed of v= 99.04 m/s when it hits the ground.

If the speed of a wave doubles while the frequency remains the same, it means
sattari [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

Velocity of a wave is describe as

velocity =Frequency × Wavelength

Mathematically

v = fλ

Hence, Frequency, F = v / λ

Wavelength λ = v/f

So, if the frequency is kept constant, wavelength of the wave becomes directly proportional to velocity of the wave.

And this implies that, as the speed double, the wavelength is double.

Will the velocity of the book change as it moves across the surface with NO friction? Explain your answer.
MakcuM [25]

No velocity will not be changed

Why?

According to Newtons 1st law the velocity of a moving object remains unchanged unless a external force affect that.
