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

Which method determines the relative age of Earth's sedimentary layers based on their organization?
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Relative age-dating involves comparing a rock layer or rock structure with other near-by layers or structures. Using the principles of superposition and cross-cutting relationships, and structures such as unconformities, one can determine the order of geological events.

3. Suppose that you have an electrically charged stick. If you divide the stick in half, each half will have half the original c
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

No, you can't keep on dividing the charge forever.

Explanation:

No, you can't keep on dividing the charge in that manner forever because the total charge of the stick is an integer multiples of individual units known as an elementary charge, <em>which is the electron (e) charge (e = 1.602x10⁻¹⁹C)</em>.

Therefore the limit of the division of the original charge will be the electron charge since it is the smallest charge that can exist freely.  

I hope it helps you!
