A) It would be doubled.
Why?
To answer the question, we just need to calculate the momentum of the basketball using the following formula:
Now, we have calculated the momentum and the result is 12 kg.m/s, what would happen to the velocity if we double the momentum? Let's calculate it!
Hence, we can see that if the momentum is doubled, the velocity will be doubled too.
Have a nice day!
Answer: after 1.75 seconds
Explanation:
The only force acting on the ball is the gravitational force, so the acceleration will be:
a = -9.8 m/s^2
the velocity can be obtained by integrating over time:
v = -9.8m/s^2*t + v0
where v0 is the initial velocity; v0 = -7.95 m/s.
v = -9.8m/s^2*t - 7.95 m/s.
For the position we integrate again:
p = -4.9m/s^2*t^2 - 7.95 m/s*t + p0
where p0 is the initial position: p0 = 29m
p = -4.9m/s^2*t^2 - 7.95 m/s*t + 29m
Now we want to find the time such that the position is equal to zero:
0 = -4.9m/s^2*t^2 - 7.95 m/s*t + 29m
Then we solve the Bhaskara's equation:
Then the solutions are:
t = (7.95 + 25.1)/(-9.8) = -3.37s
t = (7.95 - 25.1)/(-9.8) = 1.75s
We need the positive time, then the correct answer is 1.75s
