Answer:

<em>The basketball player jumped 10 m high.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Vertical Launch Upwards </u>

In a vertical launch upwards, an object is launched vertically up without taking into consideration any kind of friction with the air.

If vo is the initial speed and g is the acceleration of gravity, the maximum height reached by the object is given by:

$\displaystyle h_m=\frac{v_o^2}{2g}$

The basketball player jumps up with a speed of vo=14 m/s. The maximum height is:

$\displaystyle h_m=\frac{14^2}{2*9.8}$

$\displaystyle h_m=\frac{196}{19.6}=10$

The basketball player jumped 10 m high.

You’ve made the finals of the science Olympics. As one of your tasks you’re given 1.0 g of copper and asked to make a cylindrica

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Length = 2.92 m

Diameter = 0.11 mm

Explanation:

We have $m = dl D \ \ \& \ \ \ R = \frac{\rho l}{A}$ , where:

$l$ is the length

$m = 1.0 g = 1 \times 10^{-3} \ kg\\R = 1.3 \ \Omega\\\rho = 1.7 \times 10^{-8} \Omega m\\d = 8.96 \ g/cm^3 = 8960 kg/m^3$

We divide the first equation by the second equation to get:

$\frac{m}{R} = \frac{d A^2}{\rho}$

$A^2 = \frac{m \rho}{dR} \\\\A^2 = \frac { 1 \times 10^{-3} \times 1.7 \times 10^{-8}}{8960 \times 1.3}\\\\A^2 = 1.5 \times 10^{-15}\\\\ A= 3.8 \times 10^{-8} \ m^2$

Using this Area, we find the diameter of the wire:

$D = \sqrt{\frac{4A}{\pi}}$

$D = \sqrt{\frac{4 \times 3.8 \times 10^{-8} }{\pi}}$

$D = 0.00011 \ m = 1.1 \times 10^ {-4} = 0.11 \ mm$

To find the length, we multiply the two equations stated initially:

$mR = d\rho l^2\\\\l^2 = \frac{mR}{d\rho} \\\l^2 = \frac {1.0 \times 10^{-3} \times 1.3}{8960 \times 1.7\times 10^{-8}}$

$l^2 = 8.534\\l = 2.92 \ m$

If you use a force of 90 N to pick up a 10 pound bag of charcoal, what is the acceleration?

hjlf

Answer:

9ms^2

Explanation:

since ,Force=mass*acceleration

then, acceleration=force/mass

and, Force=90N

Mass=10pound

therefore, acceleration=90/10

=9ms^2
