A basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body 0.310 m and then accelerates through this dista

nce by forcefully straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a vertical velocity sufficient to carry him 0.940 m above the floor. (a) Calculate his velocity (in m/s) when he leaves the floor. m/s (b) Calculate his acceleration (in m/s2) while he is straightening his legs. He goes from zero to the velocity found in part (a) in a distance of 0.310 m. m/s2 (c) Calculate the force (in N) he exerts on the floor to do this, given that his mass is 106 kg. N

Answer:A)u =4.295m/s  , B)a = 29.746m/s²   C) F=3,153N

Explanation:

Using the kinematic expression  

v² = u² - 2as

where

u = initial velocity

v = final velocity

s = distance

g = acceleration due to gravity .

Given that he reaches a height of 0.940 m above the floor,

the final velocity  = 0

Here, acceleration due to gravity is acting in  opposite the initial direction of motion. So, a=-9.81 m/s.

v² = u² + 2as

0² - u² = 2 (- 9.81) × 0.940

- u² = 2 × - 9.81 × 0.920

- u² = -18.4428

cancelling the minus in both sides , we have that  

u² = 18.4428

u = √18.4428

u =4.295m/s

(b) His acceleration (in m/s2) while he is straightening his legs. He goes from zero to the velocity found in part (a) in a distance of 0.310 m. m/s2

Using v² = u² + 2as

where u = initial speed of basketball player before lengthening = 0 m/s,

v = final speed of basketball player after lengthening =  4.295m/s,

a = acceleration while  straightening his legs

s = distance moved during lengthening = 0.310m

v² = u² + 2as  

 a = (v² - u²)/2s

a = (4.29m/s)² - (0 m/s)²)/(2 × 0.310m)

a = (18.4428 m²/s² - 0 m²/s²)/(0.62 m)

a = (18.4428 m²/s²/(0.62 m)

a = 29.746m/s²

c) The force (in N) he exerts on the floor to do this, given that his mass is 106 kg. N

Force= mass x acceleration.

F = 106 kg X 29.746m/s²

 F = 3,153.076 rounded to  3,153N

What parameters affects the inductance of a coil​
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Number of Wire Turns in the Coil.

Explanation:

The greater the number of turns of wire in the coil, the greater the inductance. Fewer turns of wire in the coil results in lesser inductance. More coils of wires indicate a greater amount of magnetic field force for a given amount of coil current.

PLEASE HELP
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

h = 1.8 m

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the glove, u =- 6 m/s

We need to find the maximum height of the glove. Let it is equal to h. Using equation of kinematics. At the maximum height v = 0

v^2-u^2=2ah, h is the maximum height and a = -g

0^2-(6)^2=2\times (-10)\times h\\\\h=\dfrac{36}{20}\\\\h=1.8\ m

Hence, it will go up to a height of 1.8 m.

NikAS [45]

Answer:

31.25 m

25m/sec

Explanation:

Given :-

Time = 5sec

V = 0 (in going up)

U = 0 (in comming down)

Find :-

H and U by which it is thrown up

Since the total time is 5 sec ,therefore half time will be taken to go up and another half will be taken to go down .

We know that ,

V = U + gt

0 = U - 10*2.5

U = 25 m/sec

Also,

V² = U² +2gs

0 = 625 - 20s

s = 625/20 = 31.25 m
