A person trying to throw a ball as far as possible will run forward during the throw. Explain why this increases the distance of the throw.
If the velocity of an object is nonzero, can its acceleration be zero?Give an example if your answer is yes; explain why not if your answer is no.
The basketball bounces straight back up off the ground and reaches a maximum height of 4.00m.
a)With what speed did the ball leave the ground? (It is perfectly natural for this to be less than the speed it had before it hit the ground.)
The basketball hoop is 3.05 m above the ground. The ball will pass the position of the hoop twice –once on the way up and a second time on the way down.
b)Determine the ball's velocity (magnitude and direction) as it reaches the height of the hoop on its way down.
