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

pogonyaev
Hello,

The answer is option A "Venus".

Reason:

The planet Venus spins the wrong way many scientists are not sure why. Its not options B, C, or D because these planets spin the same way the as each other. (besides Venus) Therefore the answer is option A.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!

A plane travels at a speed of 205mph in still air. Flying with a tailwind, the plane is clocked over a distance of 1000 miles. F
vaieri [72.5K]

While plane is moving under tailwind condition it took time "t"

so here we will have

t = \frac{d}{v_{net}}

here net speed of the plane will be given as

v_{net} = v + v_w

t = \frac{1000}{205 + v_w}

similarly when it moves under the condition of headwind its net speed is given as

v_{net} = v - v_w

now time taken to cover the distance is 2 hours more

t + 2 = \frac{1000}{205 - v_w}

now solving two equations

\frac{1000}{205 + v_w} + 2 = \frac{1000}{205 - v_w}

solving above for v_w we got

v_w = 40.4 mph

maxonik [38]

Answer:

a = -0.4m/s²

Explanation:

v_f = v_I + (a)(t)

a(t) = v_f-v_I

a = (v_f-v_I)/t

a = (0m/s-12m/s)/30s

a = -0.4m/s²

Calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by each wire on a 1.20-m length of the other.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Incomplete question.The complete question is attached below as screenshot along with figure

Answer:

F=6.00*10^{-6}N

Force is repulsive

Explanation:

Given data

Current I₁=5.00A

Current I₂=2.00A

Length L=1.20 m

Radius r=0.400m

To find

Force F

Solution

As the force is repulsive because currents are in opposite direction

From repulsive force we know that:

F=\frac{u_{o}I_{1}I_{2}L}{2\pi r}

Substitute the given values

F=\frac{u_{o}(5.00A)(2.00A)(1.20m)}{2\pi (0.400m)}\\ F=6.00*10^{-6}N
