Two basketball players are essentially equal in all respects. (They are the same height, they jump with the same initial velocit

y, etc.) In particular, by jumping they can raise their centers of mass the same vertical distance, (called H their "vertical leap"). The first player, Arabella, wishes to shoot over the second player, Boris, and for this she needs to be as high above Boris as possible. Arabella jumps at time , and Boris jumps later, at time (his reaction time). Assume that Arabella has not yet reached her maximum height when Boris jumps.
1)Find the vertical displacement , D(t) = H(a)(t) - H(b)(t) as a function of time for the interval 0 < t < t(r) , where H(a)(t) is the height of the raised hands of Arabella, while H(b)(t) is the height of the raised hands of Boris.

Express the vertical displacement in terms of H, g , and t.

The reaction time of Boris is t(r), so before that, Boris will not have jumped. Thus, H(b)(t) = 0
The vertical displacement will simply be
D(t) = H(a)(t)

Answer:

1)  the two objects reach the floor at the same time.

2)the book reaches the floor much earlier than the foil

In conclusion, the difference in motion between the two systems subjected to the same acceleration depends on the weight of the body and friction force, when the body has less weight, the friction of the air affects it more

Explanation:

This interesting experiment has the following results

1) first case. Sheet on top of book

In this case the two objects reach the floor at the same time.

This shows that the acceleration in the two objects is the same and we call it the acceleration of gravity.

The speed of the body increases as it goes down linearly.

This occurs because the book that receives air resistance is much heavier, so the resistance has almost no effect on its movement, the sheet does not have the air resistance because it goes down next to the book.

2) second case. Book and sheet next to each other.

In this case the book reaches the floor much earlier than the foil.

This is because the resisting force of the air has almost no effect on the book and its movement is little affected by this force.

In the case of the blade, it has very little weight, therefore as its speed increases, the resistance force of the air rapidly equals the weight of the blade.

           W_sheet - fr = 0

so after this, since the acceleration is zero, it goes down at constant speed, this speed is called the terminal velocity.

In conclusion, the difference in motion between the two systems subjected to the same acceleration depends on the weight of the body and friction force, when the body has less weight, the friction of the air affects it more.

Consider a system two point charges. One has charge +q at (x, y,z) -(a,0,0) and another of charge-q at (x, y, z) = (-a, 0,0). 5.

Answer:

electricfield at (0,0,0) is Et = 2 k q / a²

Explanation:

For the first part see the diagram , the field lines start from the positive charge and reach the negative charge, notice that no line should cross, some lines go to infinity

For the second part we use that the electric field is a vector quantity and therefore we add the field of each charge, using the equation

     E = k q / r²

Point (0,0,0)

We calculate for the charge -q which is at a distance R = a

   E1 = k (-q) / a²

   E1 = - kq / a²

As the test charge is positive in the field it goes to the left, attractive force

We calculate for the charge that is also at R = a

    E2 = k q / a²

This field goes to the left, repulsive force

We find the total electric field

    Et = E1 + E2

    Et = kq / a² + kq / a²

    Et = 2 k q / a²

Point (0,0, R)

We use the same equations, but with another distance, for the charge -q the distance is R = R+a and for the charge + q the distance is R = R-a

     E1 = k q / (R + a)²

     E2 = kq / (R-a)²

     Et = kq [1 / (R + a)² + 1 / (R-a)²]

     Et= kq {[(R-a)² + (R + a)²] / [(R + a)² (R-a)²]}

     Et= kq {2 (R² + a²) / [(R + a)² (R-a)²]}

If we use the condition that  R> a we can despise in the patents "a"

     (R² + a²) = R² (1+ a² / R²) ≈ R²

     (R + a)² = R² (1 + a / R)² ≈ R²

     (R- a)²  = R² (1-a / R)² ≈ R²

Substituting in the total electric field

     Et = kq {2 R²) / [R²R²]}

     Et =kq 2 / R²
