A basketball star covers 2.70 m horizontally in a jump to dunk the ball (see figure). His motion through space can be modeled pr

ecisely as that of a particle at his center of mass. His center of mass is at elevation 1.02 m when he leaves the floor. It reaches a maximum height of 1.80 m above the floor and is at elevation 0.950 m when he touches down again.
(a) Determine his time of flight (his "hang time").
(b) Determine his horizontal velocity at the instant of takeoff.
(c) Determine his vertical velocity at the instant of takeoff.
(d) Determine his takeoff angle.above the horizontal
(e) For comparison, determine the hang time of a whitetail deer making a jump (see figure above) with center-of-mass elevations yi = 1.20 m, ymax = 2.50 m, and yf = 0.720 m.

Answer:

Part a)

$T = 0.81 s$

Part b)

$v_x = 3.33 m/s$

Part c)

$v_y = 3.91 m/s$

Part d)

$\theta = 49.55 degree$

Part e)

$T = 1.11 s$

Explanation:

Part a)

initial vertical position = 1.02 m

maximum height = 1.80 m

$\Delta y = 1.80 - 1.02$

$\Delta y = 0.78 m$

$v_f^2 - v_y^2 = 2a \Delta y$

$0 - v_y^2 = 2(-9.81)(0.78)$

$v_y = 3.91 m/s$

time taken by it to reach this height

$v_y = v_i + at$

$0 = 3.91 - 9.81 t_1$

$t_1 = 0.39 s$

Now when it again touch the ground then its speed is given as

$v_f^2 - v_y^2 = 2a \Delta y$

$v_f^2 - 0 = 2(9.81)(1.80 - 0.95)$

$v_y = 4.08 m/s$

time taken by it to reach this height

$4.08 = v_i + at$

$4.08 = 0 + 9.81 t_2$

$t_2 = 0.42 s$

$T = t_1 + t_2$

$T = 0.81 s$

Part b)

Horizontal velocity

$v_x = \frac{x}{t}$

$v_x = \frac{2.70}{0.81}$

$v_x = 3.33 m/s$

Part c)

vertical velocity is the intial y direction velocity

$v_y = 3.91 m/s$

Part d)

Take off angle is given as

$tan\theta = \frac{3.91}{3.33}$

$\theta = 49.55 degree$

Part e)

initial vertical position = 1.20 m

maximum height = 2.50 m

$\Delta y = 2.50 - 1.20$

$\Delta y = 1.30 m$

$v_f^2 - v_y^2 = 2a \Delta y$

$0 - v_y^2 = 2(-9.81)(1.30)$

$v_y = 5.05 m/s$

time taken by it to reach this height

$v_y = v_i + at$

$0 = 5.05 - 9.81 t_1$

$t_1 = 0.51 s$

Now when it again touch the ground then its speed is given as

$v_f^2 - v_y^2 = 2a \Delta y$

$v_f^2 - 0 = 2(9.81)(2.50 - 0.72)$

$v_y = 5.9 m/s$

time taken by it to reach this height

$5.9 = v_i + at$

$5.9 = 0 + 9.81 t_2$

$t_2 = 0.60 s$

$T = t_1 + t_2$

$T = 1.11 s$

What are the concepts of dynamically continuous innovation and discontinuous innovation? Can you share examples to illustrate th

KiRa [710]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Dynamically continuous innovation:

- Falls in between continuous and discontinuous innovation.

-Changes in customer habits are not as large as in discontinuous innovation and not as negligeble as in continuous innovation.

best example can as simple as transformation in Television. New HD TVs have flat panels, wide screens and improved performance The Added features are considered dynamically improved.

Discontinuous innovation:

- discontinuous innovation comprise of new to world product only so they are discontinuous to every customer segment.

- these product are so fundamentally different from the the product that already exist that they reshape market and competition.

For example- the mobile and the internet technology are reshaping the market through regular innovation and change.

All fires require oxygen () There is no oxygen in that room (T) .

Marina CMI [18]

The sentences are invalid and unsound.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The fire is defined as the vigorous oxidation of a substance. Now oxidation can occur in presence of any oxidising agent. Like magnesium in presence of nitrogen in high temperature with a dazzling brownish flame to produce magnesium nitride. So fire can be produced in absence of oxygen.

Oxygen is present everywhere in world. So production of a whole room without oxygen is very tough to produce and costly process. So its very unsound.

A group of students prepare for a robotic competition and build a robot that can launch large spheres of mass M in the horizonta

jeyben [28]

Answer:

$V_0$

Explanation:

Given that, the range covered by the sphere, $M$ , when released by the robot from the height, $H$ , with the horizontal speed $V_0$ is $D$ as shown in the figure.

The initial velocity in the vertical direction is $0$ .

Let $g$ be the acceleration due to gravity, which always acts vertically downwards, so, it will not change the horizontal direction of the speed, i.e. $V_0$ will remain constant throughout the projectile motion.

So, if the time of flight is $t$ , then

$D=V_0t\; \cdots (i)$

Now, from the equation of motion

$s=ut+\frac 1 2 at^2\;\cdots (ii)$

Where $s$ is the displacement is the direction of force, $u$ is the initial velocity, $a$ is the constant acceleration and $t$ is time.

Here, $s= -H, u=0,$ and $a=-g$ (negative sign is for taking the sigh convention positive in $+y$ direction as shown in the figure.)

So, from equation (ii),

$-H=0\times t +\frac 1 2 (-g)t^2$

$\Rightarrow H=\frac 1 2 gt^2$

$\Rightarrow t=\sqrt {\frac {2H}{g}}\;\cdots (iii)$

Similarly, for the launched height $2H$ , the new time of flight, $t'$ , is

$t'=\sqrt {\frac {4H}{g}}$

From equation (iii), we have

$\Rightarrow t'=\sqrt 2 t\;\cdots (iv)$

Now, the spheres may be launched at speed $V_0$ or $2V_0$ .

Let, the distance covered in the $x-$ direction be $D_1$ for $V_0$ and $D_2$ for $2V_0$ , we have

$D_1=V_0t'$

$D_1=V_0\times \sqrt 2 t$ [from equation (iv)]

$\Rightarrow D_1=\sqrt 2 D$ [from equation (i)]

$\Rightarrow D_1=1.41 D$ (approximately)

This is in the $3$ points range as given in the figure.

Similarly, $D_2=2V_0t'$

$D_2=2V_0\times \sqrt 2 t$ [from equation (iv)]

$\Rightarrow D_2=2\sqrt 2 D$ [from equation (i)]

$\Rightarrow D_2=2.82 D$ (approximately)

This is out of range, so there is no point for $2V_0$ .

Hence, students must choose the speed $V_0$ to launch the sphere to get the maximum number of points.

Elaborate on the classification of aluminum. A) Aluminum is a noble gas and has a full valence electron shell, is chemically non

scZoUnD [109]

The correct option is (B) <span>Aluminum is a metal and is shiny, malleable, ductile, conducts heat and electricity, forms basic oxides, and forms cations in aqueous solution.

Since Aluminium is in group 13, and all the elements in group 13 are either metals or metalloids(Boron). Hence we are left with option (B) and (D). Boron is the only metalloid in group 13 and aluminium is a metal(not a metalloid); therefore, we are left with only one option which is Option (B). And Aluminium is </span>shiny, malleable, ductile, conducts heat and electricity, forms basic oxides, and forms cations in aqueous solution.<span>

The power of a purely resistive lead is always positive although the current and voltage are sometimes negative. explain

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Current is in phase with voltage in a resistive circuit. Note that the wave form for power is always positive, never negative for this resistive circuit. This means that power is always being dissipated by the resistive load, and never returned to the source as it is with reactive loads.Explanation:
