Barack is playing basketball in his back yard. He takes a shot 7.0 m from the basket (measured along the ground), shooting at an

angle of 45 degrees. The ball is 2.0 m off the ground when it leaves his hand, and hits the backboard 3.5 m off the ground. Neglecting air friction, about how long is the ball in flight?

Answer:

The time of flight of the ball is 1.06 seconds.

Explanation:

Given \Delta x=7\ m

\theta=45 \°

Also, \Delta y=(3.5-2)=1.5\ m

a_x=0\ and\ a_y=-9.81\ m/s^2

Let us say the velocity in the x-direction is v_x and in the y-direction is v_y. And acceleration in the x-direction is a_x and in the y-direction is a_y.

Also, \Delta x\ and\ \Delta y is distance covered in x and y direction respectively. And t is the time taken by the ball to hit the backboard.

We can write v_x=v_0cos(45)\ and\ v_y=v_0sin(45). Where v_0 is velocity of ball.

Now,

\Delta x=v_x\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a_x\times t^2\\ \Delta x=v_x\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 0\times t^2\\\Delta x=v_xt

\Delta x=v_0cos(45)\times t\\7=v_0cos(45)\times t\\\\t=\frac{7}{v_0cos(45)}

Also,

\Delta y=v_y\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a_y\times t^2\\ 1.5=v_0sin(45)\times \frac{7}{v_0cos(45)}+\frac{1}{2}\times (-9.81)\times(\frac{7}{v_0cos(45)} )^2\\\\1.5=7-\frac{481}{(v_0)^2}\\ \\\frac{481}{(v_0)^2}=5.5\\\\(v_0)^2=\frac{481}{5.5}\\ \\(v_0)^2=87.45\\\\v_0=\sqrt{87.45}=9.35\ m/s.

Plugging this value in

t=\frac{7}{v_0cos(45)}\\ \\t=\frac{7}{9.35\times 0.707}\\ \\t=\frac{7}{6.611}

t=1.06\ seconds

So, the time of flight of the ball is 1.06 seconds.

car rides on four wheels that are connected to the body of the car by spring assemblies that let the wheels move up and down ove
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

78.4 KN/m

Explanation:

Given

mass of person 'm' =80 kg

car dips about i.e spring stretched 'x'=   1 cm  => 0.01m

acceleration due to gravity 'g'= 9.8 m/s^2

as we know that,in order to find approximate spring constant we use Hooke's Law i.e  F=kx

where,

F = the force needed

x= distance the spring is stretched or compressed beyond its natural length

k= constant of proportionality called the spring constant.

F=kx ---> (since f=mg)

mg=kx

k=(mg)/x

k=(80 x 9.8)/ 0.01

k=78.4x10^3

k=78.4 KN/m

Calcular la rapidez promedio
Vlada [557]

Answer:

  v_average = 15 m / s

Explanation:

The average speed can be found in two ways,

* taking the distance traveled and divide it by the time spent

* taking the velocities in each time interval and then finding the weighted average by the time fraction

              v_average = 1 / t_total ∑  v_{i}  t_{i}vi ti

Let's apply this last equation

               

Total time is

               t = t₁ + t₂

               t = 10 + 10 = 20   min

              v_average = 10/20 10 + 10/20 20

              v_average = 10/2 + 20/2

              v_average = 15 m / s
