In a game of basketball, a forward makes a bounce pass to the center. The ball is thrown with an initial speed of 4.8 m/s at an

angle of 15 ∘ below the horizontal. It is released 0.80 m above the floor.

The equation to be used here is the trajectory of a projectile as written below:

y = xtanθ +/- gx²/2v²(cosθ)²
where
y is the vertical distance
x is the horizontal distance
θ is the angle of trajectory or launch angle
g is 9.81 m/s²
v is the initial velcity

Since the angle is below horizontal, let's use the minus equation. Substituting the values:

- 0.8 m = xtan15° - (9.81 m/s²)x²/2(4.8 m/s)²(cos15°)²
Solving for x,
x = 2.549 m

However, we only take half of this distance because it was specified that the distance asked before bouncing. Hence, the horizontal distance is equal to 1.27 m.

Answer:

41.16 Joules

Explanation:

Potential energy at a given instant is a function of mass and height of an object. The formula is

E_p = mgh = 2.80kg\cdot 9.8\frac{m}{s^2}\cdot 1.50m = 41.16 J

Suppose you wish to fabricate a uniform wire out of 1.10 g of copper. If the wire is to have a resistance R = 0.390 Ω, and if al
Citrus2011 [14]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to volume, as a function of length and area, as of mass and density. Later we will take the same concept of resistance and resistivity, equal to the length per unit area. Once obtained from the known constants it will be possible to obtain the area by matching the two equations:

Mass of copper wire(m) = 1.10g = 1.10*10^{-3} kg

Density (\rho)= 8.92*10^3kg/m^3

Resistively of copper (\gamma) = 1.7*10^{-8}\Omega \cdot m

Resistance (R) = 0.390\Omega

Volume is defined as,

V= lA \text{ and }\frac{m}{\rho}

lA= \frac{1.10*10^{-3}}{8.92*10^3}

lA = 1.233*10^{-7} m^3 (1)

We know that,

\frac{l}{A} = \frac{R}{\gamma}

\frac{l}{A}= \frac{0.390\Omega}{1.7*10^{-8}\Omega m}

\frac{l}{A} = 2.2941*10^7 m^{-1} (2)

Multiplying equation we have

l^2 = (1.233*10^{-7})( 2.2941*10^7)

l^2 = 2.8286m^2

l =\sqrt{2.8286m^2}

l = 1.68m

Therefore the length of the wire is 1.68m

In a horse cart system when would there be the smallest amount of acceleration
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

well... when the horse stops/rests, or if it is blocked by a surface or anything of solid background.

Explanation:

If it is going up a hill or slope and it just starts to move that would also be considered the smallest amount of acceleration this can go for many things when it just starts to move. but I would go for when it rests amounting to your fitting of the question.
