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.

No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings.

A research team developed a robot named Ellie. Ellie ran 1,000 meters for 200 seconds from the research building, rested for 100
Verizon [17]

Answer:

1. Running velocity (5 m/s)

2. Resting velocity (0 m/s)

3. Walking velocity (-1 m/s)

1. Running speed (5 m/s)

2. Walking speed (1 m/s)

3. Resting speed (0 m/s)

Explanation:

Attached you will find the plot of position vs time of Ellie´s movement.

The velocity is the displacement of the object over time relative to the system of reference. The speed, in change, is the traveled distance over time in disregard of the system of reference.

So, the velocity is calculated as follows:

v = Δx / Δt

where

Δx = final position - initial position

Δt = elapsed time

1) The average velocity of Ellie while running is:

v = 1000 m - 0 m / 200 s = 5 m/s

While resting:

v = 0 m - 0 m / 100 s = 0 m/s

And while walking back:

v = 0 m - 1000 m / 1000 s = - 1 m/s

Note that in this last case, the initial position is 1000 m because Ellie is 1000 m from the origin of the system of reference when she walks back. The final position will be the origin of the system of reference, 0 m.

Comparing with the graphic, the velocity is the slope of the function position(t).

Then:

1. Running velocity (5 m/s)

2. Resting velocity (0 m/s)

3. Walking velocity (-1 m/s)

2) The speed is the distance traveled over time:

Running speed = 1000 m / 200 s = 5m /s

Resting speed = 0 m / 100 s = 0 m/s

Walking speed = 1000 m/ 1000 s = 1 m/s

Then:

1. Running speed (5 m/s)

2. Walking speed (1 m/s)

3. Resting speed (0 m/s)
