2.) The lob in tennis is an effective tactic when your opponent is near the net. It consists of lofting the ball over his/her he

ad, forcing them to move quickly away from the net. Suppose that you loft the ball with an initial speed of 15m/s at an angle of 50 degrees from the horizontal. At this moment your opponent is 10m from the ball. They begin to run away from you 0.3 seconds after the ball was launched hoping to reach the ball and hit it back to you at a height of 2.1m above where you hit it. What is the minimum average speed that your opponent must move so that he is in position to hit this ball

Answer:

The minimum average speed the opponent must move so that he is in position to hit the ball is approximately 5.79 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters of the ball are;

The initial speed of the ball = 15 m/s

The direction in which the ball is launched = 50° above the horizontal

The location of the other tennis player when the ball is launched = 10 m from the ball

The time at which the other tennis player begins to run = 0.3 seconds after the ball is launched

The height at which the ball is hit back = 2.1 m above the height from which the ball is launched

The vertical position, 'y', at time, 't', of a projectile motion is given as follows;

y = (u·sinθ)·t - 1/2·g·t²

When y = 2.1 m, we have;

2.1 = (15·sin(50°))·t - 1/2·9.8·t²

∴ 4.9·t² - (15·sin(50°))·t + 2.1 = 0

Solving with the aid of a graphing calculator function, we get;

t = 0.199776187257 s or t = 2.14525782198 s

Therefore, the ball is at 2.1 m above the start point on the other side of the court at t ≈ 2.145 seconds

The horizontal distance, 'x', the ball travels at t ≈ 2.145 seconds is given as follows;

x = u × cos(50°) × t = 15 × cos(50°) × 2.145 ≈ 20.682 m

The horizontal distance the ball travels at t ≈ 2.145 seconds, x ≈ 20.682 m

Therefore, we have;

The time the other player has to reach the ball, t₂ =2.145 s - 0.3 s ≈ 1.845 s

The distance the other player has to run, d = 20.682 m - 10 m = 10.682 m

The minimum average speed the other player has to move with, v_s = d/t₂

∴ v_s = 10.682 m/(1.845 s) ≈ 5.78970189702 m/s ≈ 5.79 m/s

The minimum average speed the opponent must move so that he is in position to hit the ball, v_s ≈ 5.79 m/s.

Why do the constellations seem to move around in the sky?.
Gnoma [55]

Answer: As Earth spins on its axis, we, as Earth-bound observers, spin past this background of distant stars. As Earth spins, the stars appear to move across our night sky from east to west, for the same reason that our Sun appears to “rise” in the east and “set” in the west.

The scientific method is a process by which scientists: prove theories to be known facts gain confidence in theories by failing
mixer [17]

Answer:

The scientific method is the process by which scientists gain confidence in theories by failing to prove them wrong.

Explanation:

Scientific  method is a step by step process of creating and carrying out experiments. These processes to be performed are derived from logical and rational application  of knowledge concerning a particular subject matter. Through these processes, scientists reach a conclusion about the world, these makes them confident in their findings.

The steps involved in scientific method include:

Observation: it is the first step. It enables you organise in your mind how you want the experiment to.

HYPOTHESIS is the result you imagine you'll find.

PREDICTION is how you think about the scientific idea- It solely relies on the hypothesis made.

EXPERIMENT is used to test your hypothesis. It is the tool designed to check if your idea is right or wrong.

CONCLUSION is the final step. It is the result gotten from the experiment. It can approve the hypothesis or reject the hypothesis.

A theory is formed when hypothesis has been tested to be true by many scientists. Hence scientists gain confidence in theories when the scientific method is approved.

 A scientific theory is a well-approved explanation of an aspect of the natural world. The approval is based on thoroughly confirmed hypothesis and experiments carried out by many scientists.
