Ask Your Teacher A basketball player shoots toward a basket 5.8 m away and 3.0 m above the floor. If the ball is released 1.7 m

above the floor at an angle of 60° above the horizontal, what must the initial speed be (in m/s) if it were to go through the basket?

Answer:

The answer to your question is    vo = 5.43 m/s

Explanation:

Data

distance = d= 5.8 m

height = 3 m

height 2 = 1.7 m

angle = 60°

vo = ?

g = 9.81 m/s²

Formula

              hmax = vo²sinФ/ 2g

Solve for vo²

              vo² = 2ghmax / sinФ

Substitution

              vo² = 2(9.81)(3 - 1.7) / 0.866

Simplification

              vo² = 19.62(1.3) / 0.866

              vo² = 25.51 / 0.866

              vo² = 29.45

Result

              vo = 5.43 m/s

A physics student stands on a cliff overlooking a lake and decides to throw a softball to her friends in the water below. She th
aliina [53]

Answer:

58.5 m

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the total time the ball takes to reach the water. This can be done by looking at the vertical motion only.

The initial vertical velocity of the ball is

u_y = u sin \theta

where

u = 21.5 m/s is the initial speed

\theta=33.5^{\circ} is the angle

Substituting,

u_y = (21.5) sin 33.5^{\circ} =11.9 m/s

The vertical position of the ball at time t is given by

y = h + u_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h = 13.5 m is the initial heigth

g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (negative sign because it points downward)

The ball reaches the water when y = 0, so

0 = h + u_yt +\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\0 = 13.5 +11.9 t - 4.9t^2

Which gives two solutions: t = 3.27 s and t = -0.84 s. We discard the negative solution since it is meaningless.

The horizontal velocity of the ball is

u_y = u cos \theta = (21.5) cos 33.5^{\circ} =17.9 m/s

And since the motion along the horizontal direction is a uniform motion, we can find the horizontal distance travelled by the ball as follows:

d= u_x t = (17.9)(3.27)=58.5 m

an object is moving with initial velocity of 5 m/s. After 10 seconds final velocity is 10 m/s. Calculate its acceleration.​
Brut [27]

Answer:

0.5m/s2

Explanation:

acceleration= change in velocity/time taken

= v - u/ t

= 10-5/10

=5/10

= 0.5m/s2

Q3. You throw a ball into the air, it reaches a certain height and then comes back to you.
Grace [21]

The If a car is going round a curve , there is an acceleration because the direction of the velocity changes.

<h3>What is the direction of the velocity?</h3>

Now we know that if you throw the ball upwards, the motion is in opposite direction to gravity thus the ball is experiencing deceleration and the speed decreases. The velocity decreases and the acceleration is negative.

If the ball is coming down, then the ball is accelerated thus it speeds up and the direction of the acceleration is positive.

If a car is going round a curve, the vehicle is accelerating because the direction of the velocity changes even if its amount remains constant.

When a board is moving down a hill at 2 ms-1, it is experiencing an acceleration because the motion is in the same direction as gravity.

If a car is coming to a stop at a point, it experiences a deceleration and not an acceleration since the change of velocity with time is negative as the car comes to rest.

A rock is stuck deep in the dirt. When you pull on the rock to remove it, what type of force are you exerting?
aleksandrvk [35]
It is Tension as the other 3 answer choices would not make sense. Compression would mean you are pressing the rock on both sides or in this case, pushing it into the dirt. It can't be nuclear force as you are pulling out a rock. Air resistance would not make sense either as there is no air involved in the scenario at all.
