Spud Webb, height 5'7", was one of the shortest basketball players to play in the NBA. But he had an impressive vertical leap; h

e was reputedly able to jump 110 cm off the ground.
a. To jump this high, with what speed would he leave the ground?
b. For how much time will he be in the air?
c. If he pushes off over a distance of 0.40 m to achieve this vertical leap, what is his acceleration during the pushing-off phase of his jump?

Answer:

a)   v = 4.64 m / s , b)    t = 0.947 s , c)    t = 0.947 s

Explanation:

We will work on this exercise with vertical launch kinematics, let's start by calculating the height of the jumper in the SI system

         y₀ = 5 ’(0.3048 m / 1’) + 7 ”(2.54 10-2 m / 1”) = 1.70 m

The distance they give is the height of the jump

          y = 1.10 m

Let's use energy conservation

Starting point.  On the floor

          Em₀ = K = ½ m v²

Final point. Maximum height

           Em_{f} = U = m g y

           Em₀ = Em_{f}

           ½ m v² = m g y

           v = √2gy

         

Let's calculate

          v = √(2 9.8 1.10)

          v = 4.64 m / s

b) Air time is the time to go up plus the time to go down, which is the same

For maximum height the speed is zero

          v = v₀ - g t₁

          t₁ = v₀ / g

          t₁ = 4.64 /9.8

          t₁ = 0.4735 s

The total time is

           t = 2 t₁

           t = 2 0.4735

           t = 0.947 s

c) if it takes a distance of 0.40 to reach speed, what is the acceleration, as it stands on the floor its initial speed is zero

          v² = v₀² + 2 a x

         a = v² / 2x

         a = 4.64²/2 0.40

         a = 26.9 m / s²

kvasek [131]

Answer:

a) a= \frac{4 \pi^2 (0.02 m)^2}{0.00162 s}=9.74 \frac{m}{s^2}

b) k = \frac{9.8}{9.74}=1.006

Explanation:

Part a

For this case we can begin finding the period like this:

T= \frac{1}{w} =\frac{1}{617 rad/s}=0.00162 s

Then we know that the centripetal acceleration is given by:

a= \frac{v^2}{r}

And the velocity is given by:

v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}

If we replace this into the acceleration we got:

a = \frac{(\frac{2\pi r}{T})^2}{r}= \frac{4 \pi^2 r}{T^2}

And we can replace the values and we got:

a= \frac{4 \pi^2 (0.02 m)^2}{0.00162 s}=9.74 \frac{m}{s^2}

Part b

For this case we want to find a value of k such that:

a= k 9.8

Where a = 9.74, so then we can solve for k like this:

k = \frac{9.8}{9.74}=1.006

How much time does it take 9,560 joules of work with 860 watts of power
tia_tia [17]

Explanation:

use equation power=watts/time

to find time rearrange to make time = power/wats

so you have your equation substitute the numbers

so 9560J/860W is 11 minutes

Suppose a person pushes thumbtack that is 1/5 centimeter long into a bulletin board, and the force (in dynes) exerted when the d
mario62 [17]

Answer:

W = 290.7 dynes*cm

Explanation:

d = 1/5 cm = 0.2 cm

The force is in function of the depth x:

F(x) = 1000 * (1 + 2*x)^2

We can expand that as:

F(x) = 1000 * (1 + 4*x + 4x^2)

F(x) = 1000 + 4000*x + 4000*x^2

Work is defined as

W = F * d

Since we have non constant force we integrate

W = \int\limits^{0.2}_{0} {(1000 + 4000*x + 4000*x^2)} \, dx

W = [1000*x + 2000*x^2 + 1333*X^3] evaluated between 0 and 0.2

W = 1000*0.2 + 2000*0.2^2 + 1333*0.2^3 - 1000*0 - 2000*0^2 - 1333*0^3

W = 200 + 80 + 10.7 = 290.7 dynes*cm
