A basketball player standing up with the hoop launches the ball straight up with an initial velocity of v_o = 3.75 m/s from 2.5

m above the ground. Part (a) What is the maximum height, h (in meters), above the launch point the basketball will achieve? Part (b) On his first attempt, the ball doesn't make it high enough to reach the hoop. If the hoop is at 3.5 m above the ground, what is the minimum velocity (in/ms) with which be must launch his second attempt to reach the hoop?

Answer:

a) The maximum height the ball will achieve above the launch point is 0.2 m.

b) The minimum velocity with which the ball must be launched is 4.43 m/s or 0.174 in/ms.

Explanation:

a)

For the height reached, we use 3rd equation of motion:

2gh = Vf² - Vo²

Here,

Vo = 3.75 m/s

Vf =  0m/s, since ball stops at the highest point

g = -9.8 m/s² (negative sign for upward motion)

h = maximum height reached by ball

therefore, eqn becomes:

2(-9.8m/s²)(h) = (0 m/s)² - (3.75 m/s²)²

<u>h = 0.2 m</u>

b)

To find out the initial speed to reach the hoop at height of 3.5 m, we again use 3rd eqn. of motion with h= 3.5 m - 2.5m = 1 m (taking launch point as reference), and Vo as unknown:

2(-9.8m/s²)(1 m) = (0 m/s)² - (Vo)²

(Vo)² = 19.6 m²/s²

Vo = √19.6 m²/s²

<u>Vo = 4.43 m/s</u>

Vo = (4.43 m/s)(1 s/1000 ms)(39.37 in/1 m)

<u>Vo = 0.174 in/ms</u>

(100 pts)<br>Why can't you use distance divide by time to calculate the instantaneous<br>speed?​
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Instantaneous speed means speed at any instant

that means Speed is changing with time

You know speed is distance/time

So that means distance is also changing with time

So we take infinitesimal small distance per infinitesimal small time As we assume speed is constant in infinitesimal small time dt

So, we take speed = ds/dt

ds = infinitesimal small distance

dt = infinitesimal small time

As its ratio is equal to speed at any instant

Note : We are taking infinitesimal small distance

But :) we are taking infinitesimal small time also

As you know if denominator is small fraction is large So fraction always give large value

So it's not O ( this makes confuse to most of students)

So, thanks

Good question

Keep thinking like this :)

Sadi Carnot came up with a hypothetical heat engine that had the maximum possible efficiency. What discovery did Carnot make tha
otez555 [7]
The discovery which Carnot made was that THE DIFFERENCE IN THE TEMPERATURES BETWEEN THE HOT AND THE COLD RESERVOIRS DETERMINE HOW WELL A HEAT ENGINE WOULD WORK.
Sadi Carnot was a French engineer, He proposed a theoretical thermodynamic cycle in 1824. In his cycle, Said hold that the efficiency of a heat engine depends on the temperature difference between its hot reservoir and cold reservoir.

For an object starting from rest and accelerating with constant acceleration, distance traveled is proportional to the square of
natali 33 [55]

The problem states that the distance travelled (d) is directly proportional to the square of time (t^2), therefore we can write this in the form of:

d = k t^2

where k is the constant of proportionality in furlongs / s^2

 

<span>Using the 1st condition where d = 2 furlongs, t = 2 s, we calculate for the value of k:</span>

2 = k (2)^2

k = 2 / 4

k = 0.5 furlongs / s^2

The equation becomes:

d = 0.5 t^2

 

Now solving for d when t = 4:

d = 0.5 (4)^2

d = 0.5 * 16

<span>d = 8 furlongs</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>It traveled 8 furlongs for the first 4.0 seconds.</span>
