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

Given:
Water, 2 kilograms
T1 = 20 degrees Celsius, T2 = 100 degrees Celsius.  

Required:
Heat produced  

Solution:
Q (heat) = nRT = nR(T2 = T1)
Q (heat) = 2 kilograms (4.184 kiloJoules per kilogram Celsius) (100 degrees Celsius – 20 degrees Celsius)
<u>Q (heat) = 669.42 Joules
</u>This is the amount of heat produced in boiling 2 kg of water.

What is an electric motor? Explain its operation. 2-3 sentence
Anarel [89]

Answer:

An electric motor is a device that changes electrical energy into mechanical energy. This change occurs due to the interaction between the magnetic field of magnets and the magnetic field due to the  electric current in the  loop. The interaction between the two produces a torque that makes the loop rotate on a shaft.

The equatorial diameter of venus is 7,523 miles. if a mile equals 1.609 km, what is venus's diameter in kilometers?
polet [3.4K]

The diameter of venus in km is 12104.507Km.

<h3 /><h3>What is Unit conversion?</h3>

By definition, unit conversion refers to the division or multiplication operation used to convert measurements of the same quantity between various units. The act of converting something from one form to another in mathematics, such as from inches to millimetres or from litres to gallons, is known as conversion.

the diameter of venus = 7,523 miles

1 mile = 1.609 km

so,

diameter of venus = 7523 × 1.609 Km

= 12104.507Km
