A basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body 0.260 m and then accelerates through this dista

nce by forcefully straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a vertical velocity sufficient to carry him 0.920 m above the floor. (a) Calculate his velocity (in m/s) when he leaves the floor.

Answer:

u = 4.25 m/s

Explanation:

The kinematic expression is as follows:

v² = u² - 2as

where

u = initial velocity

v = final velocity

s = distance

g = acceleration due to gravity .

when he reaches a height of 0.920 m above the floor the final velocity  = 0

acceleration due to gravity act opposite the initial direction of motion. So, -9.81 m/s.

v² = u² + 2as

0² - u² = 2 (- 9.81) × 0.920

- u² = 2 × - 9.81 × 0.920

multiply both sides by -1

u² = 2 × 9.81 × 0.920

u² = 18.0504

u = √18.0504

u = 4.2485762321

u = 4.25 m/s

At t =0, the velocity of A is greater than the velocity of B.

We are told in the question that the spacecrafts fly parallel to each other and that for the both  spacecrafts, the velocities are described as follows;

A: vA (t) = ť^2 – 5t + 20

B: vB (t) = t^2+ 3t + 10

Given that t = 0 in both cases;

vA (0) = 0^2 – 5(0) + 20

vA = 20 m/s

For vB

vB (0) = 0^2+ 3(0) + 10

vB = 10 m/s

We can see that at t =0, the velocity of A is greater than the velocity of B.

Read each question carefully. Show all your work for each part of the question. The parts within the question may not have equal weight. Spacecrafts A and B are flying parallel to each other through space and are next to each other at time t= 0. For the interval 0 <t< 6 s, spacecraft A's velocity v A and spacecraft B's velocity vB as functions of t are given by the equations va (t) = ť^2 – 5t + 20 and VB (t) = t^2+ 3t + 10, respectively, where both velocities are in units of meters per second. At t = 6 s, the spacecrafts both turn off their engines and travel at a constant speed. (a) At t = 0, is the speed of spacecraft A greater than, less than, or equal to the speed of spacecraft B?
