Physics

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.

Velocity =

(displacement)/(time for the displacement), in the direction of the displacement.

Displacement = 8 m south
Time for the displacement = 4 seconds
Direction of the displacement = south

Velocity (8 m south) / (4 seconds), to the south

Velocity = 2 m/s, toward the south

How much force must a locomotive exert on a 12840-kg boxcar to make it accelerate forward at 0.490 m/s2?
ddd [48]

Data given:

m=12840kg

a=0.490m/s²

Formula:

F=ma

Solution:

F= 12840kg×0.490m/s²

F=6291.6N

A car accelerates uniformly in a straight line
julia-pushkina [17]

The car travels a distance <em>d</em> from rest with acceleration <em>a</em> after time <em>t</em> of

<em>d</em> = 1/2 <em>a</em> <em>t</em>²

It covers 69 m with 2.8 m/s² acceleration, so that

69 m = 1/2 (2.8 m/s²) <em>t</em>²

<em>t</em>² = 2 (69 m) / (2.8 m/s²)

<em>t</em> ≈ 7.02 s

where we take the positive square root because we're talking about time *after* the car begins accelerating.

Coulomb is a very large unit for practical use. Justify your answer if 10^10 electrons are transferred from a body/second
zlopas [31]
Given:

10^10 electrons per second

To justify that coulomb is a very large unit for practical use, we need to convert the quantity of electron given to Coulombs:

From literature, 

1 Coulomb is equivalent to 6.242×10^18 electrons<span>.

So,

= 10^10 electrons * (1 coulomb/</span><span>6.242×10^18</span> electrons) / second
<span>= 1.602 x 10^-9 coulumbs

This value is too small to be used in an actual setting.
