A basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body 0.250 m and then accelerates through this distance by forcefully straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a vertical velocity sufficient to carry him 0.960 m above the floor. (a) Calculate his velocity (in m/s) when he leaves the floor. 4.33 Correct: Your answer is correct. m/s (b) Calculate his acceleration (in m/s2) while he is straightening his legs. He goes from zero to the velocity found in part (a) in a distance of 0.250 m.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 3.73 m/s b. 27.8 m/s²

Explanation:

(a) Calculate his velocity (in m/s) when he leaves the floor.

Using the conservation of energy principles,

Potential energy gained by basketball player = kinetic energy loss of basket ball player

So, ΔU + ΔK = 0

ΔU = -ΔK

mg(h' - h) = -1/2m(v'² - v²)

g(h' - h) = -1/2(v'² - v²) where g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², h' = 0.960 m, h = 0.250 m, v' =0 m/s (since the basketball player momentarily stops at h' = 0.960 m) and v = velocity with which the basketball player leaves the floor

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

9.8 m/s²(0.960 m - 0.250 m) = -1/2((0 m/s)² - v²)

9.8 m/s²(0.710 m) = -1/2(-v²)

6.958 m²/s² = v²/2

v² = 2 × 6.958 m²/s²

v² = 13.916 m²/s²

v = √(13.916 m²/s²)

v = 3.73 m/s

(b) Calculate his acceleration (in m/s2) while he is straightening his legs. He goes from zero to the velocity found in part (a) in a distance of 0.250 m.

Using v² = u² + 2as where u = initial speed of basketball player before lengthening = 0 m/s, v = final speed of basketball player after lengthening = 3.73 m/s, a = acceleration during lengthening and s = distance moved during lengthening = 0.250 m

So, making, a subject of the formula, we have

a = (v² - u²)/2s

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

a = ((3.73 m/s)² - (0 m/s)²)/(2 × 0.250 m)

a = (13.913 m²/s² - 0 m²/s²)/(0.50 m)

a = 13.913 m²/s²/(0.50 m)

a = 27.83 m/s²

a ≅ 27.8 m/s²

g Design an experiment you can use to determine the mass of the metal cylinder. When you explain your experiment, be sure to mention: What is the underlying model (equation) that you can use to determine the mass from your measurements

Answers

Answer:

m = [tex]\frac{k}{g}[/tex] x,

graph of x vs m

Explanation:

For this exercise, the simplest way to determine the mass of the cylinder is to take a spring and hang the mass, measure how much the spring has stretched and calculate the mass, using the translational equilibrium equation

              F_e -W = 0

              k x = m g

              m = [tex]\frac{k}{g}[/tex] x

We are assuming that you know the constant k of the spring, if it is not known you must carry out a previous step, calibrate the spring, for this a series of known masses are taken and hung by measuring the elongation (x) from the equilibrium position, with these data a graph of x vs m is made to serve as a spring calibration.

  In the latter case, the elongation measured with the cylinder is found on the graph and the corresponding ordinate is the mass

a rugby player passes the ball 5.34 m across the field, where it is caught at the same height as it left his hand. at what angle was the ball thrown if its initial speed was 7.7 m/s, assuming that the smaller of the two possible angles was used

Answers

Answer:

[tex]31.035^{\circ}[/tex]

Explanation:

x = Displacement in x direction = 5.34 m

t = Time taken to travel the displacement

y = Displacement in y direction = 0

u = Initial velocity of ball = 7.7 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = [tex]9.81\ \text{m/s}^2[/tex]

Displacement in x direction is given by

[tex]x=u\cos\theta t\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{5.34}{7.7 \cos\theta}[/tex]

Displacement in y direction is given by

[tex]y=u\sin\theta t-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\Rightarrow 0=7.7\sin\theta \dfrac{5.34}{7.7\cos\theta}-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81 (\dfrac{5.34}{7.7\cos\theta})^2\\\Rightarrow 0=7.7\sin\theta-4.905\times \dfrac{5.34}{7.7\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow 0=7.7^2\sin\theta \cos\theta-4.905\times 5.34\\\Rightarrow 0=7.7^2\dfrac{\sin2\theta}{2}-4.905\times 5.34\\\Rightarrow 0=7.7^2\sin2\theta-4.905\times5.34\times 2\\\Rightarrow \sin2\theta=\dfrac{4.905\times 5.34\times 2}{7.7^2}\\\Rightarrow 2\theta=\sin^{-1}\dfrac{4.905\times 5.34\times 2}{7.7^2}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \theta=\dfrac{62.07}{2}\\\Rightarrow \theta=31.035^{\circ}[/tex]

(a) What is the acceleration (in m/s2 in the direction the heavy team is pulling) of the two teams

Answers

Answer:

[tex]a=0.13m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass of first team man [tex]m_1=64kg[/tex]

Force of man first team man [tex]F_1=1350[/tex]

Mass of second team man [tex]m_2=69kg[/tex]

Force of man second team man [tex]F_2=1367N[/tex]

Generally the equation for net force F_n is mathematically given by

[tex]F_n=9(m_1+m_2)a[/tex]

[tex]9(m_1+m_2)a=9(f_2-f_1)[/tex]

[tex]9(64+69)a=9(1367-1350)[/tex]

[tex]a=\frac{9(1367-1350)}{9(64+69)}[/tex]

[tex]a=0.127819m/s^2[/tex]

Therefore the acceleration is given by

[tex]a=0.13m/s^2[/tex]

What is meant by heat energy ?

Heat energy of a system is defined as the energy transferred between the molecules due to the temperature difference between them. Heat energy is the energy responsible for the temperature of the molecules.

Here,

A city near the ocean experiences thunderstorms on a frequent basis. This is because,

The atmosphere near to the land is highly humid and warm and thus creates a relatively low pressure in the land. In order to balance the pressure variation the air from the oceans make movements towards the land, and as a result, sea breeze are formed. During the evenings when the water in the ocean is more warm and when land begins to cool, the air from land rushes towards the sea, in order to balance the pressure variation occurred here. This makes the air above the ocean highly humid and thus would lead to the formation of thunderstorms.

Hence,

The uneven heating of land and water in coastal areas creates fronts that cause thunderstorms.

The phase of the moon decides the moon's visibility. The sequence of phases does the moon's visibility increases is; the waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full Moon.

What is the moon phase?

The moon changes shape every day. This is due to the fact that the celestial body has no light of its own and can only reflect sunlight.

Only the side of the moon facing the sun can reflect this light and seem bright. The opposite side appears black. this is a full moon.

We can only see the black section when it lies between the sun and the earth when a new moon occurs. We witness intermediate phases like a half-moon and crescent in between these two extremes.

Following are the sequence of phases does the moon's visibility increase is;

1. Waxing crescent

2. First Quarter

3. Waxing gibbous

4. Full Moon

The phase of the moon decides the moon's visibility. Hence the visibility changes with the change in the phase of the moon.

stationary. If the two cars merge together after a collision and head towards the east their speed
after the collision is equal to.......
A)1/4vi b)1/2vi c)vi d) 2vi

Answers

Answer: Option b, the final velocity is half of the initial velocity.

Explanation:

Here we will use the conservation of the total momentum of a system.

This means that the total momentum at the beginning must be the same as the final momentum.

Where momentum is:

P = M*v

Initially, we have two cars, both with the same mass M, and only one of them has a velocity v.

Then the initial momentum is:

P = M*v + M*0 = M*v

After the collision, the two cars move together. Then the total mass that is moving is equal to the sum of the masses of the cars, this is 2*M

and we can suppose that the two cars move at a final velocity v'

Then the final momentum is:

P' = (2*M)*v'

Now we use the conservation of momentum, then:

P = P'

M*v = (2*M)*v'

Now we need to solve this for v'

(M*v)/(2*M) = v'

v/2 = v'

This means that the final velocity is half of the initial velocity.

Then the correct option is option b.

He-Ne Laser device emits photons of wave length 632.8 nm by rate 4.5 x 1020 photon/s, so
the power of the laser beam =
a. 3.14 W
b. 141.3 W
c. 314.1 w
d. 431.4 W​

Answers

Answer: Option b.

Explanation:

We know:

Wavelength = 632.8 nm

Fluence = 4.5*10^20 photon/s

The energy of a single photon of wavelength λ is:

E = (h*c)/λ

where:

h = 6.6*10^(-34) J*s

c = 3*10^8 m/s

And we should rewrite the wave length in meters, so:

λ = 632.8 nm = 632.8*10^(-9) m

replacing these in the energy equation, we get:

E = (6.6*10^(-34)J*s)*(3*10^8 m/s)/(632.8*10^(-9) m) = 3.13*10^(-19) J

So each one of the  4.5x10^20 photon that flow each second have this energy, then the power is:

P = (3.13*10^(-19) J)*(4.5*10^20 /s) = 140.85 J/s

and 1 W = 140.85 J/S

Then the power is:

P = 140.85 W

Then the correct answer is the option b, where the units are a little bit different than mine because I used really simplified values for c and h.

Problem 05.086 - Water pumped from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir Water is pumped from a lower reservoir to a higher reservoir by a pump that provides 21 kW of useful mechanical power to the water. The free surface of the upper reservoir is 45 m higher than the surface of the lower reservoir. If the flow rate of water is measured to be 0.03 m3/s, determine the irreversible head loss of the system and the lost mechanical power during this process. Take the density of water to be 1000 kg/m3. The irreversible head loss of the system is 26.35 m. The lost mechanical power in this process is kW.

Answers

Answer:

Lost Mechanical Power = 7.7565 KW

Head Loss = 26.35 m

Explanation:

First, we will find the useful mechanical power used to transport water to the higher reservoir:

[tex]P_{useful} = \rho ghV[/tex]

where,

P_useful = Useful mechanical Power = ?

ρ = density of water = 1000 kg/m³

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = height = 45 m

V = Volume flow rate = 0.03 m³/s

Therefore,

[tex]P_{useful} = (1000\ kg/m^3)(9.81\ m/s^2)(45\ m)(0.03\ m^3/s)\\P_{useful} = 13243.5\ W = 13.2435\ KW[/tex]

Now, the lost mechanical power will be:

[tex]Lost\ Mechanical\ Power = Total\ Mechanical\ Power - Useful\ power\\Lost\ Mechanical\ Power = 21\ KW - 13.2435\ KW\\[/tex]

Lost Mechanical Power = 7.7565 KW

Now, for the head loss:

[tex]Lost\ Mechanical\ Power = \rho g(Head\ Loss)V\\Head\ Loss = \frac{Lost\ Mechanical\ Power}{\rho gV} \\\\Head\ Loss = \frac{7756.5\ W}{(1000\ kg/m^3)(9.81\ m/s^2)(0.03\ m^3/s)} \\[/tex]

Head Loss = 26.35 m

D. The wreckage after collision is moving at the speed 18 m/s to the north.
E. The wreckage after collision is motionless.

Answers

Answer:

The reckage after collision is motionless (E)

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy is neither created nor destroyed but is converted from one form to another.

The kind of collision described in the question above is known as a perfectly inelastic collision, and in this type of collision, the maximum kinetic energy is lost because the objects moving in opposite directions have a resultant momentum that is equal, but in opposite directions hence they cancel each other out.

The calculation is as follows:

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

where:

m₁ = m₂ = 1000kg

v₁ = 20 m/s

v₂ = -20 m/s ( in the opposite vector direction)

∴ resultant momentum = (1000 × 20) + (1000 × -20)

= 20000 - 20000 = 0

∴ The reckage after collision is motionless

Answer:

The wreckage after collision is moving at the speed 18 m/s to the south.
