A basketball star covers 3.05 m horizontally in a jump to dunk the ball (see figure). His motion through space can be modeled pr

ecisely as that of a particle at his center of mass. His center of mass is at elevation 1.02 m when he leaves the floor. It reaches a maximum height of 1.95 m above the floor and is at elevation 0.890 m when he touches down again. What is his time of flight?

<span><span>anonymous </span> 4 years ago</span>Any time you are mixing distance and acceleration a good equation to use is <span>ΔY=<span>V<span>iy</span></span>t+1/2a<span>t2</span></span> I would split this into two segments - the rise and the fall. For the fall, Vi = 0 since the player is at the peak of his arc and delta-Y is from 1.95 to 0.890. For the upward part of the motion the initial velocity is unknown and the final velocity is zero, but motion is symetrical - it takes the same amount of time to go up as it does to go down. Physiscists often use the trick "I'm going to solve a different problem, that I know will give me the same answer as the one I was actually asked.) So for the first half you could also use Vi = 0 and a downward delta-Y to solve for the time. Add the two times together for the total. The alternative is to calculate the initial and final velocity so that you have more information to work with.

Answer:

T = 0.90 s

Explanation:

Initially the position of center of mass is at 1.02 m

Then he reached to height 1.95 m

so total displacement of the player in vertical direction is

y = 1.95 - 1.02 = 0.93 m

now we know that it will reach to this displacement when final velocity becomes zero

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2a y

0 - v_i^2 = 2(-9.81)(0.93)

v_i = 4.27 m/s

now we have

v_f - v_i = at

t_1 = \frac{0 - 4.27}{-9.81}

t_1 = 0.435 s

Now when it will reach the ground again then his displacement is given as

y = 1.95 - 0.890 = 1.06 m

\delta y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

1.06 = \frac{1}{2}(9.81)t^2

t_2 = 0.465 s

now total time of his motion is given as

T = t_1 + t_2

T = 0.465 + 0.435

T = 0.90 s

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The answer is "Choice E".

Explanation:

In this situation the option e is right because its resistance decreases through time, however, the time is the same for the same reason, whereas the sphere deteriorates, somehow it travels shorter distances however if the air resistance becomes are using the amplitude of movement declines, that's why other choices were wrong.

Help with both questions I’ll mark brainliest
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

(1) A sound wave a mechanical wave because mechanical waves rely on particle interaction to transport their energy, they cannot travel through regions of space that are void of particles. Sound is a mechanical wave and cannot travel through a vacuum. These particle-to-particle, mechanical vibrations of sound conductance qualify sound waves as mechanical waves. Sound energy, or energy associated with the vibrations created by a vibrating source, requires a medium to travel, which makes sound energy a mechanical wave. The answer is(B) it travels in the medium.

(2) An ocean wave is an example of a mechanical transverse wave

The compression is the part of the compressional wave where the particles are crowded together. The rarefaction is the part of the compressional wave where the particles are spread apart. The answer is (C) Compression.
