Complete Question:

A basketball player tosses a basketball m=1kg straight up with an initial speed of v=7.5 m/s. He releases the ball at shoulder height h= 2.15m. Let gravitational potential energy be zero at ground level

a)  Give the total mechanical energy of the ball E in terms of maximum height hn it reaches, the mass m, and the gravitational acceleration g.

b) What is the height, hn in meters?

Answer:

a) Energy = mghₙ

b) Height, hₙ = 5.02 m

Explanation:

a) Total energy in terms of maximum height

Let maximum height be hₙ

At maximum height, velocity, V=0

Total mechanical energy , E = mgh + 1/2 mV^2

Since V=0 at maximum height, the total energy in terms of maximum height becomes

Energy = mghₙ

b) Height,  hₙ in meters

mghₙ = mgh + 1/2 mV^2

mghₙ = m(gh + 1/2 V^2)

Divide both sides by mg

hₙ = h + 0.5 (V^2)/g

h = 2.15m

g = 9.8 m/s^2

V = 7.5 m/s

hₙ = 2.15 + 0.5(7.5^2)/9.8

hₙ = 2.15 + 2.87

hₙ = 5.02 m

guapka [62]

Answer:

measure the position every so often with a stopwatch

Explanation:

A possible method of measurement is to place a measuring tape along the path and measure the position every so often with a stopwatch, with this we can make a graph of position against time and by extrapolation find the initial velocity.

This is a method used in measurements of uniform movements of bodies

A propeller is modeled as five identical uniform rods extending radially from its axis. The length and mass of each rod are 0.77
Vikki [24]
The formula for the rotational kinetic energy is

KE_{rot} = \frac{1}{2}(number \ of\ propellers)( I)( omega)^{2}

where I is the moment of inertia. This is just mass times the square of the perpendicular distance to the axis of rotation. In other words, the radius of the propeller or this is equivalent to the length of the rod. ω is the angular velocity. We determine I and ω first.

I=m L^{2}=(2.67 \ kg) (0.777 \ m)^{2}  =2.07459 \ kgm^{2}

ω = 573 rev/min * (2π rad/rev) * (1 min/60 s) = 60 rad/s

Then,

KE_{rot} =( \frac{1}{2} )(5)(2.07459 \ kgm^{2}) (60\ rad/s)^{2}

KE_{rot} =18,671.31 \ J

Two sources emit beams of light of wavelength 550 nm. The light from source A has an intensity of 10 μW/m2, and the light from s
alexira [117]

Answer:

<em>A) Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.</em>

Explanation:

If we have two waves with the same wavelength, then their intensity is proportional to their power, or the energy per unit time.

We also know that the amount of photon present in an electromagnetic beam is proportional to the energy of the beam, hence the amount of beam per second is proportional to the power.

With these two facts, we can say that the intensity is a measure of the amount of photon per second in an electromagnetic beam. So we can say that <em>beam B carries twice as more power than beam A, or Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.</em>
