Answer:

a reference point allows you to determine the motion of an object :)

example: when your in a car and u look out the window and your moving fast than the car next to you. It seems that way because the car next to you is actually moving much slower.

A basketball player jumps 76cm to get a rebound. How much time does he spend in the top 15cm of the jump (ascent and descent)?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The time for final 15 cm of the jump equals 0.1423 seconds.

Explanation:

The initial velocity required by the basketball player to be able to jump 76 cm can be found using the third equation of kinematics as

v^2=u^2+2as

where

'v' is the final velocity of the player

'u' is the initial velocity of the player

'a' is acceleration due to gravity

's' is the height the player jumps

Since the final velocity at the maximum height should be 0 thus applying the values in the above equation we get

0^2=u^2-2\times 9.81\times 0.76\\\\\therefore u=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 0.76}=3.86m/s

Now the veocity of the palyer after he cover'sthe initial 61 cm of his journey can be similarly found as

v^{2}=3.86^2-2\times 9.81\times 0.66\\\\\therefore v=\sqrt{3.86^2-2\times 9.81\times 0.66}=1.3966m/s

Thus the time for the final 15 cm of the jump can be found by the first equation of kinematics as

v=u+at

where symbols have the usual meaning

Applying the given values we get

t=\frac{v-u}{g}\\\\t=\frac{0-1.3966}{-9.81}=0.1423seconds

Friction causes kinetic energy to be converted into what energy
Gennadij [26K]
Friction causes kinetic energy to be converted into 'thermal energy'. The answer to this question is 'thermal energy'. An example would be if something is being rubbed against another object, there is friction and thermal energy will be produced. I hope this helps you on your assignment! You're welcome.

lock of mass m2 is attached to a spring of force constant k and m1 . m2. If the system is released from rest, and the spring is
patriot [66]

Answer:

The maximum displacement of the mass m₂ = \frac{2(m_1-m_2)g}{k}

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy (K) = 1/2mv²

Potential Energy (P) = mgh

Law of Conservation of energy states that total energy of the system remains constant.

i.e; Total energy before collision = Total energy after collision

This implies that: the gravitational potential energy lost by m₁ must be equal to sum of gravitational energy gained by m₂ and the elastic potential energy stored in the spring.

m_1gd = m_2gd+\frac{1}{2}kd^2\\\\m_1g = m_2g+\frac{1}{2}kd\\\\d = \frac{2(m_1-m_2)g}{k}

d = maximum displacement of the mass m₂
