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

If a diffraction grating has 3700 lines per cm, what is the spacing d between lines
Sonja [21]
So first we find the gap between the slits by the formula d=1/N 

<span>N is number of lines per metre so 3700 line/cm = 370000 lines/m </span>
<span>So d=2.7*10^-6 </span>

<span>Now we use the formula dsin(angle)=n(wavelength) </span>

<span>d is the same </span>
<span>n is the order of the diffraction pattern </span>

<span>so wavelenth=dsin(angle)/n </span>
<span>=[(2.7*10^-6)*sin30]/3 </span>
<span>=4.5*10^-7 m</span>

Student bikes to school by traveling first dN = 1.10 miles north, then dW = 0.300 miles west, and finally dS = 0.200 miles south
melisa1 [442]
Taking the vertical component of the displacement
1.1 - 0.2 = 0.9 mile
The horizontal component of the displacement
-0.3 mile

The magnitude of the displacement is
√[ (0.9)² + (-0.3) ] = 0.95 mile

The direction is
θ = tan-1 (-0.3/0.9)
θ = 161.57 degrees.
