2 answers:

4 0

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.

Based on the chemical equation, use the drop-down menu to choose the coefficients that will balance the chemical

MaRussiya [10]

The coefficients in order are 2, 1, 1

<h3>What is balanced chemical equation?</h3>

A balanced equation is an equation for a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge is the same for both the reactants and the products.

In other words, the mass and the charge are balanced on both sides of the reaction.

According to the given situation,

To balance the the chemical equation,

Step 1 - Add a 2 on the Na2HPO4:

2(Na₂HPO₄) ⇒ Na4P₂O₇ + H₂O

Step 2 -Next take count of each element on both sides to see if the 2 is balanced or not:

On the left there are 4 Na, 2 H, 2 P, and 8 O

On the right there are 4 Na, 2 H, 2 P, and 8 O

Step 3 - Now we will divide by 2

i.e. 2 NA.H. P

The coefficient of Na is 2 , Coefficient of H is 1 and Coefficient of P is 1

Therefore,

The coefficients in order are 2, 1, 1.

Which of the following statements are true about the lenses used in eyeglasses to correct nearsightedness and farsightedness? (T

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

A: They produce a real image.

Explanation:

The images formed on the retina of the eye for a normal visibility must always be real.

Only a real image can be physically projected on any physical object whereas the virtual images are visible due to reflections.

The nearsightedness is corrected with the help of a concave lens since it is the condition of the eye lens remaining thick and curved to converge the rays entering the eyes after a shorter distance which results in their image formation even before the retinal surface so to initially diverge them a bit so that they converge on the retinal surface and form the image there we use concave lens. Vice-versa of the above justification in the case of farsightedness.
