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.

Using two boxes, design two solar ovens. Before you build, describe your designs. Discuss elements such as materials, box shape,
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Find two boxes just a bit smaller than the other. The long sides of the box should be less than twice as long as the short side of the boxes. The smaller box should fit inside the larger box with about 1 inch in each direction to spare. The boxes can be cut down so that they fit together properly. Leave the flaps on the boxes. Buy a small sheet of Plexiglas (tm) a little bit smaller than the width and length of the top of the box. You will also need four pieces of cardboard to use for reflectors.

Compare and contrast the solar eclipse seen in this video to a lunar eclipse.
Crank

Answer: sadly, I can’t see the video. However, a lunar eclipse happens when the moon is hidden by the earth’s shadow. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon casts a shadow on the earth.

Explanation: I’m not completely sure if this is what you were looking for, but I hope it helps anyway.

Which is a characteristic that makes electromagnetic waves and water waves different
Paraphin [41]
We know that a wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space There are two main types of waves: Mechanical and Electromagnetic. Water waves are mechanical. A mechanical wave is an oscillation of matter to transfers energy, but you always need a medium (substance such as: solid, liquid, gas, plasma) to transport it. The medium for water waves is, in fact, the water. For example, ripple in water is a surface wave. On the other hand, electromagnetic waves don't need a medium to transport, they can do it through the empty space. Then, this is the major characteristic that makes these two types of waves different.
