Answer:

The basketball player jumped 10 m high.

Explanation:

Vertical Launch Upwards

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.

Answer:

b. Both stars will have the same shift.

Explanation:

It's a very simple problem to solve. Star 1 is approaching toward Earth with a speed v, so let's assume that the change in Doppler Shift is +F and Star 2 is moving away so the change in Doppler shift is -F. But it's time to notice the speed of both stars and that is same but only directions are different. speed is the main factor here. The magnitude of both shifts is F as we can see and + and - are showing there direction of motion. So, because of same amount of speed, both stars will have same shift magnitude. (Just the directions are different)

$\text{Given that,}\\\\\text{Height, h = 17 m}\\\\\\\text{We know that,}\\\\h = v_0t + \dfrac 12 gt^2\\\\\implies h = \dfrac 12 gt^2\\\\\implies t^2 = \dfrac{2h}g\\\\\implies t =\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}g} = \sqrt{\dfrac{2(17)}{9.81}} = 1.87 ~ \text{sec}$

Which of the following describes the relationship of conductance to a conductor?

Brilliant_brown [7]

The answer is The conductance of a conductor is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the conductor. Conductance is directly related to the ease offered by any material to the passage of electric current. Conductance is the opposite of resistance. The higher the conductance, the lower the resistance and vice versa, the greater the resistance, the less conductance, so both are inversely proportional

wolverine [178]

The final volume of the gas is 238.9 mL

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Charle's law, which states that for a gas kept at constant pressure, the volume of the gas (V) is proportional to its absolute temperature (T):

$\frac{V}{T}=const.$
