Answer:

distance=6.11m

Explanation:

A basketball player is running at a constant speed of 2.5 m/s when he tosses a basketball upward with a speed of 6.0 m/s. How far does the player run before he catches the ball? Ignore air resistance. I got stuck because I wasn't sure which formula to use when approaching this problem. Does it involve an angle at all?

first of all we get the time it takes to reach the maximum height

then twice of the time it takes to reach maximum height will be the time of flight

from newtons equation of motion

v=u+at

v=0

u=6m/s

0=6-9.81t

t=.61s

the time of flight will be 1.22secs

how far it travels will then be d, the basketball player moves with a horizontal speed 2.5m/s towards the ball

distance=speed*time

distance=2.5m/s*1.22

distance=6.11m

Answer:

B. South Pole.

Explanation:

In order to answer this question, we simply have to refer to the laws of the equations of gravitational mechanics.

The equation given by Newton tells us that

F = \frac {Gm_1m_2} {r^2}

In the case where we compare a specific place where the Force of Gravity is greater or lesser, we focus on the term assigned to the Planet's Radius.

In the case of G, m_1, m_2, we understand that they are constant.

We can easily notice that the more the Radius (Height seen from a viewer on the ground), the lower the force will be.

<em>In other words, the smaller the radius in which the measurement is made with respect to the center of the earth, the greater the gravitational force.</em>

In that order of ideas the smallest radio has South Pole, which is about 6356 km from the center of the Earth on the Equator line

A 10-kg dog is running with a speed of 5.0 m/s. what is the minimum work required to stop the dog in 2.40 s?
Tasya [4]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>Work = 125 joules </em>

<h3><u>Explanation and solution</u>;</h3>
  • Work is the product of force and the distance covered. Therefore, Work = force × distance.
  • Work is measured in joules.
  • Work is also a change in energy, such that work is done when energy changes, so when kinetic energy, or potential energy changes the there is work being done.

Thus; kinetic energy = work done

Kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

                       = 1/2 × 10× 5²

                       = 5 × 25

                       = 125 joules

Hence, work done is 125 joules.

Which, if any, of the following statements concerning the work done by a conservative force is NOT true? All of these statements
masya89 [10]

Answer:

When the starting and ending points are the same, the total work is zero.

Explanation:

option ( D )correct

A force is said to be conservative when the work done by the force in moving a particle from a point A to a point B is independent of the path followed between A and B and is the same for all the paths. The work done depends only on the particles initial and final positions. And when the initial and final position in conservative field are same the work done is said to be zero.
