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

A 45 N girl sits on a bench 0.6 meters off the ground. How much work is done on the bench?
ycow [4]

Answer: 27 joules

Explanation:

Work is done when force is applied on the bench over a distance. it is measured in joules.

Workdone = force x distance

= 45 N x 0.6 metres

= 27 joules

Thus, 27 joules of work is done on the bench.

Cells that remain as sources of other cells are called
inna [77]
They are called stem cells. This cells are undifferentiated which means it can specialize in other types when it receives the right stimuli. They can divide through mitoses and become more stem cell or become a bone, muscle, blood cell, etc.

They can have 2 origins: embryos or some human tissue; their function is to regenerate or substitute damaged cells
