During several practice runs you stand at the end of a diving board and launch the basketball horizontally from a position 4.50

m above the water. If the average landing spot is 6.25 m horizontally from your initial position, what is the average launch speed?

Answer:

6.52m/s

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem follow the steps below, the complete procedure is in the attached image

1. draw a complete outline of the problem involving forces and geometries

2. Find the time that elapses from when the ball is thrown until it hits the water, this is achieved using the kinematic equation for constant acceleration and zero vertical initial velocity.

3. taking into account that the ball is launched horizontally, and that there is no horizontal acceleration, the only thing we must do is find the speed by dividing the distance traveled horizontally and dividing it by time

What are some important factors to consider when choosing a warm-up before your workout?
TEA [102]

<u>Answer:</u>

Prior to exercise, a proper warm-up of 10-15 minutes is extremely important to avoid injuries.

  1. Don't go too hard in the beginning and boost your activity level slowly. A good indication of a proper warm-up is that you feel sweat on your body parts.
  2. Don't overstretch right in the beginning as it can cause sore in your muscles and joints or stress fractures.
  3. Take a break if you feel sick or fatigues and use other drinks along with water to replace electrolytes and body fluids.

You need to focus a 10 mW, 632.8 nm Gaussian laser beam that is 5.0 mm in diameter into a sample. You have access to a lens with
Anna [14]

Answer:

ee that the lens with the shortest focal length has a smaller object

           

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the constructor equation or Gaussian equation

        \frac{1}{f}  = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

where f is the focal length, p and q are the distance to the object and the image respectively.

Magnification a lens system is

          m = \frac{h'}{h} = - \frac{q}{p}

             h ’= -\frac{h q}{p}

In the exercise give the value of the height of the object h = 0.50cm and the position of the object p =∞

Let's calculate the distance to the image for each lens

f = 6.0 cm

           \frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{f }  - \frac{1}{p}

as they indicate that the light fills the entire lens, this indicates that the object is at infinity, remember that the light of the laser rays is almost parallel, therefore p = inf

          q = f = 6.0 cm

for the lens of f = 12.0 cm q = 12.0 cn

to find the size of the image we use

           h ’= h q / p

where p has a high value and is the same for all systems

           h ’= h / p q

Thus

f = 6 cm h ’= fo 6 cm

 

f = 12 cm h ’= fo 12  cm

therefore we see that the lens with the shortest focal length has a smaller object

radio dish: is use to receive radio waves from the air.

binoculars: provide a magnified stereoscopic view of distant objects.

streak plate: is a technique which is used to grow bacteria on a growth media surface so that individual bacterial colonies are isolated and sampled.

wind vane: is used to determine wind direction.

ruler: is used for measuring a line.

microscope: is used to magnify the objects which are not visible by naked eyes.

magnifying glass: is used to magnifying tiny objects which are difficult to see yet they are visible.

telescope: use by space scientist to examine astronomical event that may take place in the sky which is too far.

An atom emits a photon when one of its electrons:
disa [49]

Answer:

undergoes a transition to a quantum state of lower energy

Explanation:

When electrons in an atom move to another quantum state, they emit/absorb a photon according to the following:

- If the electron is moving to a higher energy state, it absorbs a photon (because it needs energy to move to a higher energy level, so it must absorb the energy of the photon)

- if the electron is moving to a lower energy state, it emits a photon (because it releases the excess energy)

In particular, the energy of the absorbed/emitted photon is exactly equal to the difference in energy between the two levels of the electron transition:

E=|E_1 - E_2|
