Basketball player Darrell Griffith is on record as

Physics
1 answer:
Gre4nikov [31]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

1.

We use the equation

h = \frac{gt^2}{2}, where

h is the height traveled,

g is the acceleration due to gravity and

t is the time taken to reach height h.

We can now calculate t to be

\sqrt{\frac{2*1.2 m}{9.81 m/s^2} }

= 0.495 s

Let v be the initial velocity of the player.

The player deaccelarates from v m/s to 0 m/s in 0.495 s at the rate of 9.81 m/s^2.

v = 9.81 m/s^2 x 0.495 s = 4.85 m/s

2.

The player takes 0.3 s to increase his velocity from 0 m/s to 4.85 m/s. So his average accelaration is

4.85 m/s / 0.3 s = 16.2 m/s^2

when an incandescent light bulb is turned on, its thin wire filament heats up quickly. as the temperature of this wire filament
Leno4ka [110]

Well, we usually assume that the resistance of a circuit component
is constant and doesn't change.  But the truth is that for anything
that conducts current, its resistance always increases somewhat
when it warms up. 

For things like light bulbs, electric toasters, space heaters, electric
stove burners, the heat coils in a blow-dryer ... anything that's
designed to be really hot when it's doing its job ... the resistance
of those things increases significantly when they come up to their
operating temperatures.

If earth had no atmosphere, would a falling object ever reach terminal velocity?
stepan [7]
No, because terminal velocity is when the acceleration of the Earth’s gravity is balanced by the air resistance of the atmosphere.
