A basketball player grabbing a rebound jumps 76.0 cm vertically. How much total time (ascent and descent) does the player spend.

..
(a) in the top 15.0 cm of this jump?
(b) in the bottom 15 cm? (The player seems to hang in the air at the top)
Answer both parts (a) and (b). Show all work and give explanation for calculations

Answer: Part(a)=0.041 secs, Part(b)=0.041 secs

Explanation: Firstly we assume that only the gravitational acceleration is acting on the basket ball player i.e. there is no air friction

now we know that

a=-9.81 m/s^2  ( negative because it is pulling the player downwards)

we also know that

s=76 cm= 0.76 m ( maximum s)

using kinetic equation

v^2=u^2+2as

where v is final velocity which is zero at max height and u is it initial

hence

u^2=-2(-9.81)*0.76

u=3.8615 m/s\\

now we can find time in the 15 cm ascent

s=ut+0.5at^2

0.15=3.861*t+0.5*9.81t^2\\

using quadratic formula

t=\frac{-3.861+\sqrt{3.86^2-4*0.5*9.81(-0.15)} }{2*0.5*9.81}

t=0.0409 sec

the answer for the part b will be the same

To find the answer for the part b we can find the velocity at 15 cm height similarly using

v^2=u^2+2as

where s=0.76-0.15

as the player has traveled the above distance to reach 15cm to the bottom

v^2=0^2 +2*(9.81)*(0.76-0.15)

v=3.4595

when the player reaches the bottom it has the same velocity with which it started which is 3.861

hence the time required to reach the bottom 15cm is

t=\frac{3.861-3.4595}{9.81}

t=0.0409

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion :

The Force acting on an Object is equal to Product of Mass of the Object and Acceleration produced due to the Force.

:\implies  Force acting = Mass of the Object × Acceleration

Given : Force = 50 newton and Mass of the Object = 10 kg

Substituting the respective values in the Formula, we get :

:\implies  50 N = 10 kg × Acceleration

:\implies \mathsf{Acceleration = \dfrac{50\;N}{10\;kg}}

:\implies Acceleration of the Object = 5 m/s²

A 0.683 kg mass moves in SHM at the end of a spring. It takes 1.41 s to move from the position with the spring fully extended to
dsp73

Answer:

Spring constant of the spring will be equal to 9.255 N /m          

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 0.683 kg

Time taken to complete one oscillation is given T = 1.41 sec

We have to find the spring constant of the spring

From spring mass system time period is equal to T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{K}}, here m is mass and K is spring constant

So 1.41=2\times 3.14\sqrt{\frac{0.683}{K}}

0.2245=\sqrt{\frac{0.683}{K}}

Squaring both side

0.0504=\frac{0.4664}{K}

K=9.255N/m

So spring constant of the spring will be equal to 9.255 N /m

Which geologic feature most likely be represented by contour lines drawn far apart from one another?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer;

A plain

Explanation;

A contour line connects points of the same elevation. Contour lines are usually curves. Closed contours represent hills.

Contour lines can not cross since they represent different elevations. A contour interval is the difference in elevation between one contour and an adjacent contour.
