A basketball player can leap upward 0.43 m. how long does he remain in the air? use an acceleration due to gravity of 9.80 m/s2

MArishka [77]

From the equations of linear motion,
v² = u² + 2as where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity and a is the gravitational acceleration, and s is the displacement,
Thus, v² = u² -2gs, but v=0
hence, u² = 2gs
= 2×9.81×0.43
= 8.4366
u = √8.4366
=2.905 m/s
Hence the initial velocity is 2.905 m/s
Then using the equation v= u +gt .
Therefore, v = u -gt. (-g because the player is jumping against the gravity)
but, v = 0
Thus, u= gt
Hence, t = u/g
= 2.905/9.81
= 0.296 seconds

The heat capacity of nickel is 0.444 J/(g · °C). Calculate the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 18 g of nickel

azamat

The final speed of the nickel at the given quantity of heat is determined as 202.1 m/s.

<h3>Final speed of the nickel</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of energy.

Q = mcΔθ

Q = (18)(0.444)(66 - 20)

Q = 367.63 J

Q = K.E = ¹/₂mv²

2K.E = mv²

v = √(2K.E/m)

where;

v is the final speed

v = √(2 x 367.63)/(0.018))

v = 202.1 m/s

Nresistors, each having resistance equal to 1 2, are arranged in a circuit first in series and then in parallel. What is the rat

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

option (b)

Explanation:

Let the resistance of each resistor is R.

In series combination,

The effective resistance is Rs.

rs = r + R + R + .... + n times = NR

Let V be the source of potential difference.

Power in series

Ps = v^2 / Rs = V^2 / NR ..... (1)

In parallel combination

the effective resistance is Rp

1 / Rp = 1 / R + 1 / R + .... + N times

1 / Rp = N / R

Rp = R / N

Power is parallel

Rp = v^2 / Rp = N V^2 / R ..... (2)

Divide equation (1) by equation (2) we get

Ps / Pp = 1 / N^2

A box rests on top of a flat bed truck. The box has a mass of m = 16.0 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the box an

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

1) 1.31 m/s2

2) 20.92 N

3) 8.53 m/s2

4) 1.76 m/s2

5) -8.53 m/s2

Explanation:

1) As the box does not slide, the acceleration of the box (relative to ground) is the same as acceleration of the truck, which goes from 0 to 17m/s in 13 s

$a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \frac{17 - 0}{13} = 1.31 m/s2$

2)According to Newton 2nd law, the static frictional force that acting on the box (so it goes along with the truck), is the product of its mass and acceleration

$F_s = am = 1.31*16 = 20.92 N$

3) Let g = 9.81 m/s2. The maximum static friction that can hold the box is the product of its static coefficient and the normal force.

$F_{\mu_s} = \mu_sN = mg\mu_s = 16*9.81*0.87 = 136.6N$

So the maximum acceleration on the block is

$a_{max} = F_{\mu_s} / m = 136.6 / 16 = 8.53 m/s^2$

4)As the box slides, it is now subjected to kinetic friction, which is

$F_{\mu_s} = mg\mu_k = 16*9.81*0.69 = 108.3 N$

So if the acceleration of the truck it at the point where the box starts to slide, the force that acting on it must be at 136.6 N too. So the horizontal net force would be 136.6 - 108.3 = 28.25N. And the acceleration is

28.25 / 16 = 1.76 m/s2

5) Same as number 3), the maximum deceleration the truck can have without the box sliding is -8.53 m/s2
