Friction in Volleyball

Frication plays a huge role in every aspect of our lives; it can play a negative or positive role. In volleyball there are various types of friction that have positive influences on the way the game is played and there are others that play a negative role in the way the game is played.

Positive friction in volleyball.

In volleyball the aim of the game is to strike a ball into play that your opponent cannot return or finds it difficult to return. A friction force that makes this possible is the friction of the air on the ball, for example when a player hits a ball with topspin into play, the friction of the air on the ball makes it spin faster than it otherwise would. Topspin makes a ball harder to pick-up and pass to the setter.

Another force that is present is the ball itself, if there was no friction it would be virtually impossible to pass set, or hit the ball, the ball would just slip through your arms or hands.

When jumping a player also uses the frictions of their feet on the floor to gain a higher jump to strike the ball at maximal height, if this didn't exist players would be slipping and sliding around all over the court.

Negative friction in volleyball.

Friction also plays a negative part in the game of volleyball, when a player dives for a ball the friction of the court on their skin causes court burn or friction burn. Although the friction of the rubber soles of shoes on the court is a positive it can also be a negative, if there is too much friction players can become injured from the sudden stopping that the friction can cause. Some injuries that can result from this would be hyperextensions of the knees and or ankle injuries.

None. In volleyball rolling, sliding, and fluid friction all influence the movements in volleyball. Rolling friction does contribute to the volleyball. Fluid friction helps the ball fly through the air. The heavier the ball, the quicker it will accelerate. In volleyball the aim of the game is to strike a ball into play that your opponent cannot return or finds it difficult to return. A friction force that makes this possible is the friction of the air on the ball.

Two converging lenses are separated by 27.0 cm. The focal length of each lens is 8.90 cm. An object is placed 33.0 cm to the lef

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

1/i + 1/o = 1/f thin lens equation

i = 33 * 8.9 / (33 - 8.9) = 12.2 cm to right of first lens

27 - 12.2 = 14.8 cm to left of second lens

i = 14.8 * 8.9 / (14.8 - 8.9) = 22,3 cm to right of second lens

. Why are scientific models important? They help scientists prove scientific theories. They help scientists explain complex ques

sdas [7]

The best answer would be the 4th choice. "They help scientists explain concepts that are difficult to observe, this also covers the first answer which helps the scientist to answer complex questions. A scientific model is not used prove scientific laws as they may not always have all the data to prove so, instead it is used to allow them to explain better concepts revolving around science through research and may also allow them to predict results based on the accumulation of data and analyzing the trend of this resulting information.

Two stationary positive point charges, charge 1 of magnitude 3.05 nC and charge 2 of magnitude 1.85 nC, are separated by a dista

luda_lava [24]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to voltage as a dependent expression of the distance of the bodies, the Coulomb constant and the load of the bodies. In turn, we will apply the concepts related to energy conservation for which we can find the speed of this

$V = \frac{kq}{r}$

Here,

k = Coulomb's constant

q = Charge

r = Distance to the center point between the charge

From each object the potential will be

$V_1 = \frac{kq_1}{r_1}+\frac{kq_2}{r_2}$

Replacing the values we have that

$V_1 = \frac{(9*10^9)(3.05*10^{-9})}{0.41/2}+\frac{(9*10^9)(1.85*10^{-9})}{0.41/2}$

$V_1 = 215.12V$

Now the potential two is when there is a difference at the distance of 0.1 from the second charge and the first charge is 0.1 from the other charge, then,

$V_1 = \frac{(9*10^9)(3.05*10^{-9})}{0.1}+\frac{(9*10^9)(1.85*10^{-9})}{0.41-0.1}$

$V_2 = 328.2V$

Applying the energy conservation equations we will have that the kinetic energy is equal to the electric energy, that is to say

$\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = q(V_2-V_1)$

Here

m = mass

v = Velocity

q = Charge

V = Voltage

Rearranging to find the velocity

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{2q(V_2-V_1)}{m}}$

Replacing,

$v = \sqrt{ \frac{-2(1.6*10^{-19})(328.2-215.12)}{9.11*10^{-3}}}$

$v = 6.3*10^6m/s$

Therefore the speed final velocity of the electron when it is 10.0 cm from charge 1 is $6.3*10^6m/s$

A thin, metallic spherical shell of radius 0.187 m has a total charge of 6.53×10−6 C placed on it. A point charge of 5.15×10−6 C

MAVERICK [17]

Answer: a) 112.88 * 10^3 N/C; b) The electric field point outward from the center of the sphere.

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to use the gaussian law so we use a gaussian surface at r=0.965 m and the electric flux is equal to Q inside/εo

E* 4*π*r^2= Q inside/εo

E= k*Q inside/r^2= 9*10^9*(6.53+5.15)μC/(0.965)^2=122.88 * 10 ^3 N/C

A diver leaves the end of a 4.0 m high diving board and strikes the water 1.3s later, 3.0m beyond the end of the board. Consider

shutvik [7]

Answer:

4.0 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the diver is the motion of a projectile: so we need to find the horizontal and the vertical component of the initial velocity.

Let's consider the horizontal motion first. This motion occurs with constant speed, so the distance covered in a time t is

$d=v_x t$

where here we have

d = 3.0 m is the horizontal distance covered

vx is the horizontal velocity

t = 1.3 s is the duration of the fall

Solving for vx,

$v_x = \frac{d}{t}=\frac{3.0 m}{1.3 s}=2.3 m/s$

Now let's consider the vertical motion: this is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. The vertical position at time t is given by

$y(t) = h + v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

h = 4.0 m is the initial height

vy is the initial vertical velocity

We know that at t = 1.3 s, the vertical position is zero: y = 0. Substituting these numbers, we can find vy

$0=h+v_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\v_y = \frac{0.5gt^2-h}{t}=\frac{0.5(9.8 m/s^2)(1.3 s)^2-4.0 m}{1.3 s}=3.3 m/s$

So now we can find the magnitude of the initial velocity:

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(2.3 m/s)^2+(3.3 m/s)^2}=4.0 m/s$
