Integrated Concepts A basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body 0.300 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 0.900 m above the floor. (a) Calculate his velocity when he leaves the floor. (b) Calculate his acceleration while he is straightening his legs. He goes from zero to the velocity found in part (a) in a distance of 0.300 m. (c) Calculate the force he exerts on the floor to do this, given that his mass is 110 kg.

- Sand moves without slipping at 6.0 m/s down a conveyer that is tilted at 150. The sand enters a pipe h = 5z m below the end of the conveyer belt, as shown in the figure below. Assume that the sand is in free fall. The coordinate system is also shown in the figure. (A) What is the acceleration in the horizontal and vertical direction? (B) How long the sand will be in the air (starting from the when it leaves the belt i.e. at origin until it enters the pipe)? (C) What is the horizontal distance “d” between the conveyer belt and the pipe? (D) What is the x-component of sand’s velocity when it enters the pipe? (E) What is the y-component of the sand’s velocity when it enters the pipe?

If you do not ignore air resistance, how does the time required for the ball to reach its maximum height compare to the time required for it to fall from its maximum height back down to the height from which you threw it? Explain.arrow_forwardDriving down the highway, you find yourself behind a heavilyloaded tomato truck. You follow close behind the truck, keeping the same speed. Suddenly a tomato falls from the back of thetruck. Will the tomato hit your car or land on the road, assuming you continue moving with the same speed and direction?Explain.arrow_forward

You find a campground that is near an outcropping of ice from one of the glaciers. Part of the ice outcropping forms a slope of angle o up to a vertical cliff. You decide that this is an ideal place to hang your food supply, as the cliff is too tall for a bear to reach it. You put all of your food into a burlap sack, tie an unstretchable rope to the sack, and tie another bag full of rocks to the other end of the rope to act as an anchor. The mass of rocks that you put into the anchor bag is equal to the mass of food in the other bag. What will be the acceleration a of the food bag when you let go of the anchor bag? Assume that the weight of the rope is negligible, and that the ice can be considered frictionless. Express the resulting acceleration a of the food bag in terms of o and g, the acceleration due to gravity. Let the positive direction for this bag be…arrow_forwardFlying Circus of Physics A skilled skier knows to jump upward before reaching a downward slope. Consider a jump in which the launch speed is vo = 15.0 m/s, the launch angle is 80-9.1", the initial course is approximately flat, and the steeper track has a slope of 11.2'. Figure (a) shows a prejump that allows the skier to land on the top portion of the steeper track. Figure (b) shows a jump at the edge of the steeper track. In Figure (a), the skier lands at approximately the launch level. (a) In the landing, what is the angle between the skier's path and the slope? In Figure (b), (b) how far below the launch level does the skier land and (c) what is ? (The greater fall and greater p can result in loss of control in the landing.)
