A BASKETBALL PLAYER MAKES A BASKET THROUGH A TEN FOOT HIGH BASKET FROM 20 FEET AWAY. IF THE SHOOTER RELEASES THE BALL FROM 8 FEE

Answer:

The vertical velocity of the ball when released = 10.81 m/s

The vertical velocity of the ball in the basket = 8.81 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height of the basket = 10 feet

The horizontal location of the shooter from the basket = 20 feet

The height from which the shooter releases the ball = 8 feet

The horizontal velocity of the ball = 10 ft/s

Therefore, we have;

Time, t = Horizontal distance/(Horizontal velocity)

t = 20/10 = 2 seconds

The vertical velocity is given as follows;

s = u·t - 1/2·g·t²

Where;

u = The vertical velocity

s = The height above the initial height from which the ball is released

s = y - y₀

Where;

y = The final height of the ball in the calculation = The height of the basket = 10 foot

y₀ = The initial height from which the ball is released = 8 feet

∴ s = 10 - 8 = 2 feet

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting gives;

2 = u × 2 - 1/2 × 9.81× 2²

u = (2 + 1/2 × 9.81× 2²)/2 = 10.81 m/s

The vertical velocity of the ball when released = 10.81 m/s.

The vertical velocity of the ball in the basket is given by the following relation;

v² = u² - 2·g·s

v² = 10.81² - 2×9.81×2 = 77.6161

v = √(77.6161) = 8.81 m/s

The vertical velocity of the ball in the basket = 8.81 m/s

226,710 - 724,435 =<br> How to work this out without calculator
Anit [1.1K]
Okay so this is going to be confusing but work from right to left. since you can’t do 0-5, borrow from the one next to the zero on the top, cross out the one and put zero and add a one on top of the zero which makes it 10. now you can do 10-5 to get 5. put the five down below the line. next solve the second column of numbers ( second to the right). since you cannot do 0- 3, like the last one, you have to borrow from the 7 over to the left. take one from there and cross the seven out and put a six. now you have 10-3 which is 7. put the 7 down. now do move to the next column and do 6-2 to get 4. put the four down below the line. move to the next column and do 2-2 to get 0. put the zero down below the line. lastly, we know the answer has to be negative so we are going to do 2-7 to get -5. put -5 down below the line and together to get the answer -502,275. i know that was very confusing but i hope it helped a little bit. i added a picture to clarify a little

How much taller was Mt. Everest determined to be in 1999, than in 1852? 11 meters 12 meters 22 meters 147 meters
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

11 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1852 its height was 29.002ft or 8.839m, while the measuring in 1999 said that it was 29.035ft or 8.850m. That means that it is taller by some 11 meters or 33 feet. That is because it keeps increasing its size since its positioned on such plates that hit each other.

Donte scored 55 on his mastery exam. What percent did Donte score?
masha68 [24]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question isn't complete. First and foremost, to be able to solve this, we need to know the total marks of the examination.

Let's assume that the total marks for the exam is 80. Since Donte scored 55 on his mastery exam, the percent that he score will be:

= 55/80 × 100

= 68.75%
