The 5 main rules are two teams of five players each try to score by shooting a ball through a hoop elevated 10 feet above the ground. The game is played on a rectangular floor called the court, and there is a hoop at each end. The rules are basically the same but the women's ball is one inch smaller than the mens ball.

<em><u>Rules</u></em>

1. The ball may be thrown in any direction with one or both hands.

2. The ball may be batted in any direction with one or both hands (never with the fist).

3. A player cannot run with the ball. The player must throw it from the spot on which he catches it, allowance to be made for a man who catches the ball when running at a good speed if he tries to stop.

4. The ball must be held in or between the hands; the arms or body must not be used for holding it.

5. No shouldering, holding, pushing, tripping, or striking in any way the person of an opponent shall be allowed; the first infringement of this rule by any player shall count as a foul, the second shall disqualify him until the next goal is made, or, if there was evident intent to injure the person, for the whole of the game, no substitute allowed.

6. A foul is striking at the ball with the fist, violation of Rules 3,4, and such as described in Rule 5.

7. If either side makes three consecutive fouls, it shall count a goal for the opponents (consecutive means without the opponents in the mean time making a foul).

8. A goal shall be made when the ball is thrown or batted from the grounds into the basket and stays there, providing those defending the goal do not touch or disturb the goal. If the ball rests on the edges, and the opponent moves the basket, it shall count as a goal.

9. When the ball goes out of bounds, it shall be thrown into the field of play by the person first touching it. In case of a dispute, the umpire shall throw it straight into the field. The thrower-in is allowed five seconds; if he holds it longer, it shall go to the opponent. If any side persists in delaying the game, the umpire shall call a foul on that side.

10. The umpire shall be judge of the men and shall note the fouls and notify the referee when three consecutive fouls have been made. He shall have power to disqualify men according to Rule 5.

11. The referee shall be judge of the ball and shall decide when the ball is in play, in bounds, to which side it belongs, and shall keep the time. He shall decide when a goal has been made, and keep account of the goals with any other duties that are usually performed by a referee.

12. The time shall be two 15-minute halves, with five minutes' rest between.

13. The side making the most goals in that time shall be declared the winner. In case of a draw, the game may, by agreement of the captains, be continued until another goal is made.

19.2\:\text{m/s}

Explanation:

At the top of the tree, the velocity of the pebble is purely horizontal so we can calculate it as

v_{y} = v_{0y} = v_0\cos 40° = (25\:\text{m/s})(0.766)

If you are given the mass of an object in pounds, the time in seconds, and the distance in feet, what must you do before you can
Alexandra [31]

Answer: First you must convert pound in kilogram, and feet in meter

Explanation:

To calculate momentum we use .

p=m*V

mass-m

speed-V

distance and time are used to calculate velocity(speed)

You are given :

 mass- in pounds

for distance - in feet

before you do any calculation first you have to convert pounds in kilograms

and feet in meters.

A person wants to fire a water balloon cannon such that it hits a target 100m100m away. if the cannon can only be launched at 45
vladimir2022 [97]
<span>31.3 m/s Since the water balloon is being launched at a 45 degree angle, the horizontal and vertical speeds will be identical. Also the time the balloon takes to reach its peak altitude will match the time it takes to fall. So let's create a few expressions about what we know. Distance the water balloon travels at velocity v for time t d = vt Total time required for the entire trip is double since the balloon goes up, then goes down t = 2v/a Now let's plug in the numbers we have, assuming the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 t = 2v/9.8 100 = vt Substitute 2v/9.8 for t in the 2nd formula 100 = v(2v/9.8) Solve for v. 100 = v(2v/9.8) 100 = 2v^2/9.8 980. = 2v^2 490 = v^2 22.13594 = v So we now know that both the horizontal velocity and vertical velocity needed is 22.13594 m/s. Let's verify that 2*22.13594 / 9.8 = 4.51754 So it will take 4.51754 second for the balloon to hit the ground after being launched. 4.51754 * 22.13594 = 100 And during that time it will travel 100 meters horizontally. But we need to know the total velocity. And the Pythagorean theorem comes to the rescue. Just square the 2 velocities, add them together, and take the square root. We already know the square is 490 from the work above, so sqrt(490+490) = sqrt(980) = 31.30495 m/s</span>
