–0.05 m/s

Explanation:

The total momentum of the system player+basketball must be conserved before and after the ball has been thrown.

Before throwing the ball, the total momentum of the system is zero, because can assume both the player and the basketball being at rest:

p_i

The total momentum after the ball has been thrown is instead the sum of the momenta of the the player and of the basketball:

p_f=m_p v_p + m_b v_b

where

m_p = 59 kg is the player's mass

v_p is the player's velocity

m_b=0.51 kg is the ball's mass

v_b=6 m/s is the ball's velocity

For the conservation of momentum, we have

p_i=p_f

0=m_p v_p + m_b v_b

v_p=-\frac{m_b v_b}{m_p}=-\frac{(0.51 kg)(6 m/s)}{59 kg}=-0.05 m/s

And the negative sign means that the player travels in the opposite direction to the ball.

We apply the momentum preservation principle and we have p before =p after
0=6*0.51+59u
u=-0.05m/s

N capacitors are connected in parallel to form a "capacitor circuit". The capacitance of first capacitor is C, second one is C/2
liberstina [14]

Answer:

2C

Explanation:

The equivalent capacitance of a parallel combination of capacitors is the sum of their capacitance.

So, if the capacitance of each capacitor is half the previous one, we have a geometric series with first term = C and rate = 0.5.

Using the formula for the sum of the infinite terms of a geometric series, we have:

Sum = First term / (1 - rate)

Sum = C / (1 - 0.5)

Sum = C / 0.5 = 2C

So the equivalent capacitance of this parallel connection is 2C.
