. The free throw line in basketball is 4.57 m (15 ft) from the basket, which is 3.05 m (10 ft) above the floor. A player standin

g on the free throw line throws the ball with an initial speed of 8.15 m/s, releasing it at a height of 2.44 m (8 ft) above the floor. At what angle above the horizontal must the ball be thrown to exactly hit the basket? Note that most players will use a large initial angle rather than a flat shot because it allows for a larger margin of error. Explicitly show how you follow the steps involved in solving projectile motion problems.

Answer:

\theta = 67.22 degree

Explanation:

Let say the ball is projected at an angle with horizontal

So here two components of the velocity of the ball is given as

v_x = 8.15 cos\theta

v_y = 8.15 sin\theta

now the displacement in x direction is given as

x = v_x t

4.57 = (8.15 cos\theta)t

in y direction it is given as

y = y_o + v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

3.05 = 2.44 + (8.15 sin\theta) t - 4.9 t^2

now from above two equations

0.61 = 4.57 tan\theta - 4.9(\frac{4.57}{8.15 cos\theta})^2

0.61 = 4.57 tan\theta - 1.54(1 + tan^2\theta)

1.54 tan^2\theta - 4.57 tan\theta + 2.15 = 0

\theta = 67.22 degree

The work done is 2.35\cdot 10^5 J

Explanation:

The work done by a force on an object is given by:

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

In this problem, we have

F = 1080 N is the force applied on the car

d = 218 m is the displacement of the car

And assuming the force is applied parallel to the motion of the car, \theta=0^{\circ}, and so the work done is

W=(1080)(218)(cos 0^{\circ})=2.35\cdot 10^5 J

Unpolarized light passes through three polarizing filters. The first one is oriented with a horizontal transmission axis, the se
Xelga [282]

Answer:

10.028%

Explanation:

\theta = Angle between polarizer

The polarized light after passing through first polarizer

I=\frac{I_0}{2}

The polarized light after passing through second polarizer

I_2=\frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow I_2=\frac{I_0}{2}cos^231.8\\\Rightarrow I_2=0.36115I_0

The polarized light after passing through third polarizer

I_3=I_2cos^2(90-31.8)\\\Rightarrow I_3=0.36115I_0cos^2(90-31.8)\\\Rightarrow I_3=0.10028I_0

\frac{I_3}{I_0}\times 100=\frac{0.10028I_0}{I_0}\times 100\\ =10.028\ \%

The percent of the light gets through this combination of filters is 10.028%
