A basketball player is running at 4.80 m/s directly toward the basket when he jumps into the air to dunk the ball. He maintains

his horizontal velocity. (a) What vertical velocity (in m/s) does he need to rise 0.650 meters above the floor? _______m/s (b) How far (in m) from the basket (measured in the horizontal direction) must he start his jump to reach his maximum height at the same time as he reaches the basket?_______m

Answer:

a) 3.56m/s

b) 1.73m

Explanation:

We have to treat this as a parabolic motion problem:

we will use the next formulas:

V=Vo+a*t\\Vy^2=Vyo^2+2*a*Y\\X=Vox*t

we first have to calculate the initial velocity of the basketball player:

Vy^2=Vyo^2+2*a*Y\\0^2=Vyo^2+2*(-9.8)*(0.650)\\Vyo=\sqrt{2*9.8*0.650} \\Vyo=3.56 m/s

the final velocity is zero when he reaches the maximun height.

To answer the second part we need to obtain the time to reach the maximun height, so:

V=Vo+a*t\\\\0=3.56+(-9.8)*t\\t=0.36 seconds

Now having that time, let's find the distance on the X axis, the X axis behaves as constant velocity movement, so:

X=Vox*t\\X=4.80*0.36\\X=1.73m

A gas in a closed container is heated with 10J of energy, causing the lid of the container to rise 2m with 3N of force. What is
AveGali [126]

Explanation:

For this problem, use the first law of thermodynamics. The change in energy equals the increase in heat energy minus the work done.

ΔU=Q−W

We are not given a value for work, but we can solve for it using the force and distance. Work is the product of force and displacement.

W=FΔx

W=3N×2m

W=6J

Now that we have the value of work done and the value for heat added, we can solve for the total change in energy.

ΔU=Q−W

ΔU=10J−6J

ΔU=4J

Answer is 4J

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The speed of a turtle is 4m/s

Explanation:

speed = distance/time

distance = 100m

time = 25s

s = 100/25

= 4m/s

What is the mass of a bird if it has a potential energy of 147J when flying at a height of 30 m above the ground?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

0.5kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Potential energy = 147J

Height  = 30m

Unknown:

Mass of the bird  = ?

Solution:

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body. Now, the expression for finding the potential energy is given as;

      P.E  = mgH

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

H is the height

      147  = m x 9.8 x 30

         m = 0.5kg
