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

ollegr [7]

Answer:

103.57 Km/h

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Distance = 725 Km

Time = 7 hours

Speed =?

Speed can be defined as the distance travelled per unit time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Speed = Distance /time

With the above formula, we can calculate how fast he will drive (i.e the speed) in order to get there on time. This is illustrated below:

Distance = 725 Km

Time = 7 hours

Speed =?

Speed = Distance /time

Speed = 725 / 7

Speed = 103.57 Km/h

Thus, to get there on time, he will drive with a speed of 103.57 Km/h
