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

How do the dark lines of an atom''s absorption spectrum relate to the bright lines of its emission spectrum?
tangare [24]

Wouldn't it be neat if an electron falling closer to the nucleus ... emitting a
photon ... actually gave out more energy than it needed to climb to its original
energy level by absorbing a photon !   If there were some miraculous substance
that could do that, we'd have it made.

All we'd need is a pile of it in our basement, with a bright light bulb over the pile,
connected to a tiny hand-crank generator.

Whenever we wanted some energy, like for cooking or heating the house, we'd
switch the light bulb on, point it towards the pile, and give the little generator a
little shove.  It wouldn't take much to git 'er going.

The atoms in the pile would absorb some photons, raising their electrons to higher
energy levels.  Then the electrons would fall back down to lower energy levels,
releasing more energy than they needed to climb up.  We could take that energy,
use some of it to keep the light bulb shining on the pile, and use the extra to heat
the house or run the dishwasher.

The energy an electron absorbs when it climbs to a higher energy level (forming
the atom's absorption spectrum) is precisely identical to the energy it emits when
it falls back to its original level (creating the atom's emission spectrum).

Energy that wasn't either there in the atom to begin with or else pumped
into it from somewhere can't be created there.

You get what you pay for, or, as my grandfather used to say, "For nothing
you get nothing."

The girl makes a microscope with a 3.0 cm focal length objective and a 5.0 cm eyepiece. The microscope tube length is 10 cm. Use
saul85 [17]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to Magnification. Magnification is the process of enlarging the apparent size, not physical size, of something. This enlargement is quantified by a calculated number also called "magnification".

The overall magnification of microscope is

M = \frac{Nl}{f_ef_0}

Where

N = Near point

l = distance between the object lens and eye lens

f_0= Focal length

f_e= Focal of eyepiece

Given that the minimum distance at which the eye is able to focus is about 25cm we have that N = 25cm

Replacing,

M = \frac{25*10}{3*5}

M = 16.67\approx 17\\

Therefore the correct answer is C.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The very high voltage needed to create a spark across the spark plug is produced at the  transformer's secondary winding. <span>The secondary coil is engulfed by a powerful and changing magnetic field. This field induces a current in the coils -- a very high-voltage current.</span>
