Explanation:
1.
We use the equation
h = , 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
= 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
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
Assuming we are dealing with a perfect gas, we should use the perfect gas equation:
With T the temperature, V the volume, P the pressure, R the perfect gas constant and n the number of mol, we are going to use the subscripts i for the initial state when the gas has 20 cubic inches of volume and absolute pressure of 5 psi, and final state when the gas reaches 10 psi, so we have two equations:
(1)
(2)
Assuming the temperature and the number of moles remain constant (number of moles remain constant if we don't have a leak of gas) we should equate equations (1) and (2) because ,
and R is an universal constant:
, solving for
