Answer:

0.293 s

Step-by-step explanation:

Using equations of motion,

y = 66.1 cm = 0.661 m

v = final velocity at maximum height = 0 m/s

g = - 9.8 m/s²

t = ?

u = initial takeoff velocity from the ground = ?

First of, we calculate the initial velocity

v² = u² + 2gy

0² = u² - 2(9.8)(0.661)

u² = 12.9556

u = 3.60 m/s

Then we can calculate the two time periods at which the basketball player reaches ths height that corresponds with the top 10.5 cm of his jump.

The top 10.5 cm of his journey starts from (66.1 - 10.5) = 55.6 cm = 0.556 m

y = 0.556 m

u = 3.60 m/s

g = - 9.8 m/s²

t = ?

y = ut + (1/2)gt²

0.556 = 3.6t - 4.9t²

4.9t² - 3.6t + 0.556 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation

t = 0.514 s or 0.221 s

So, the two time periods that the basketball player reaches the height that corresponds to the top 10.5 cm of his jump are

0.221 s, on his way to maximum height and

0.514 s, on his way back down (counting t = 0 s from when the basketball player leaves the ground).

Time spent in the upper 10.5 cm of the jump = 0.514 - 0.221 = 0.293 s.

What is the mass of a 3 cm cube of pine? (Reminder: The length, width, and height of a cube are all the same.)
ryzh [129]

Answer:Using this idea, you can calculate the mass of a cube with the formula for Density = mass ÷ volume. Review the formula for density: Density = mass ÷ volume. If you solve this equation for mass, it becomes: mass = density x volume.

Find the slope and write an equation of the line which passes through the points. (−3, 9) and (−3, −5)
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Slope: undefined

Equation: x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the line that passes through the points, you first want to find the slope.  The formula for slope is m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}. Once we have the slope, we can use any given point to plug in to find the y-intercept.

m=\frac{-5-9}{-3-(-3)} =\frac{-14}{0}

We can see that the slope is undefined. If we look at the point, we notice that they both have the same x-coordinate. This let's us know that the equation is x=-3.
