Answer:

Distance ran by basketball player = 4.5 m

Explanation:

We have equation of motion, v = u+at

Substituting

           6 = 0 + a x 1.5

           a = 4m/s²

Now we need to find distance traveled, we have the equation of motion

           v² = u² + 2as

Substituting

           6² = 0² + 2 x 4 x s

           8 s = 36

              s = 4.5 m

Distance ran by basketball player = 4.5 m

In a milkans apparatus,an oil drop of weight 2.0×10^-15kg accquires two surplus electrons. when a Potential difference of 620 vo
andriy [413]

Answer:

r = 9.92 mm

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of oil drop, m=2\times 10^{-15}\ kg

It acquires 2 surplus electrons, q = +2e =3.2\times 10^{-19}\ C

Potential difference, V = 620 V

Thie potential difference is applied between the pair of horizontal metal plates the drop is in equilibrium.

We need to find the distance between the plates.

At equilibrium,

mg = qE

Since, E = V/r (r is distance between plates)

mg=\dfrac{qV}{r}\\\\r=\dfrac{qV}{mg}\\\\r=\dfrac{3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 620}{2\times 10^{-15}\times 10}\\\\=0.00992\ m\\\\=9.92\ mm

So, the distance between the plates is 9.92 mm.

An engine absorbs 2150 J as heat from a hot reservoir and gives off 750 J as heat to a cold reservoir during each cycle. What is
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

65.2 %

Explanation:

Let Q1 = Heat absorbed by the system

Q2 = Heat released by the system

e= (1 - (Q2/Q1)) x 100

e= (1 - (750/2150)) x 100

e= (1 - 0.348) x 100

e= 0.652 x 100

e= 65.2 %

An athlete runs at a constant velocity of 5.2 m/s. What is the velocity of the athlete relative to the ground?
dimulka [17.4K]

The relative velocity of the athlete relative to the ground is 5.2 m/s

The given parameters;

constant velocity of the athlete, V = 5.2 m/s

let the velocity of the ground = Vg = 0

The relative velocity concept helps us to determine the velocity of a moving object relative to a stationary observer.

The athlete is the moving object in this question while the ground is stationary.

The relative velocity of the athlete relative to the ground is calculated as follows;

V/V_g = V - V_g  = 5.2 - 0 = 5.2  \ m/s

Thus, the relative velocity of the athlete relative to the ground is 5.2 m/s
