A basketball referee tosses the ball straight up for the starting tip-off. At what velocity must a basketball player leave the g

round to rise 1.25 m above the floor in an attempt to get the ball? (Assume that the player gets the ball at his maximum height.)

Answer:4.95 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Ball rises to a height of 1.25 m

Let u be the velocity of player while leaving ground .

Its final velocity will be zero as he reaches a height of 1.25 m

thus

u^2=2gh

u=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 1.25}

u=\sqrt{24.525}

u=4.952 m/s

Does anyone know how to do this?​
SIZIF [17.4K]

Explanation:

By Hooke's Law,

F=kx

The only force acting here is weight, and x is the extension of the string (you need to convert this to mm) so

mg=kx

(0.15)(9.81)=k ((420-300)x10^-3)

Then just solve this equation.

1. A pendulum has a period of 3 seconds. What's its frequency? 2. A pendulum has a frequency of 0.25 Hz. What's its period? 3. A
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

(1) 0.333 Hz

(2) 4 sec

(3) 2 sec, 0.5 Hz

Explanation:

(1) We have given time period of pendulum is 3 sec

So T = 3 sec

Frequency will be equal to f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{3}=0.333Hz

(2) Frequency of the pendulum is given f = 0.25 Hz

Time period is equal to T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.25}=4sec

(3) It is given that a pendulum makes 10 back and forth swings in 20 seconds

So time taken to complete 1 back and forth swings = =\frac{20}{10}=2sec

So time period T = 2 sec

Frequency will be equal to f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5Hz

The difference in outcome between the potential energy in a marshmallow burned over a campfire on the end of a stick and in one
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

How fast and efficient the energy is released.

Explanation:

Before burning the marshmallow energy is stored in it in the form of chemical bond energy or chemical potential energy. So upon burning this energy is released. So there will be a difference in energy release from a burned marshmallow and the one we eat straight from package.

In the year 1178. five monks at Canterbury Cathedral in England observed what appeared to be an asteroid colliding with the moon
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer: 1.28 sec

Explanation:

Assuming that the glow following the collision was produced instantaneously, as the light propagates in a straight line from Moon to the Earth at a constant speed, we can get the time traveled by the light applying velocity definition as follows:

V = ∆x / ∆t

Solving for ∆t, we have:

∆t = ∆x/v = ∆x/c = 3.84 108 m / 3.8 108 m/s = 1.28 sec
