Two basketball players are essentially equal in all respects. (they are the same height, they jump with the same initial velocity, etc.) in particular, by jumping they can raise their centers of mass the same vertical distance, (called h their "vertical leap"). the first player, arabella, wishes to shoot over the second player, boris, and for this she needs to be as high above boris as possible. arabella jumps at time , and boris jumps later, at time (his reaction time). assume that arabella has not yet reached her maximum height when boris jumps.

1)find the vertical displacement , d(t) = h(a)(t) - h(b)(t) as a function of time for the interval 0 < t < t(r) , where h(a)(t) is the height of the raised hands of arabella, while h(b)(t) is the height of the raised hands of boris.

express the vertical displacement in terms of h, g , and t.

Clothing made of several thin layers of fabric with trapped air in between, often called ski clothing, is commonly used in cold climates because it is light, fashionable, and a very effective thermal insulator. so it is no surprise that such clothing has largely replaced thickand heavy old-fashioned coats. (a) consider a jacket made of five layers of 0.1-mm-thick synthetic fabric (k = 0.13 w/mĀ·Ā°c) with 1.5-mm-thick air space (k = 0.026 w/mĀ·Ā°c) between the layers. assuming the inner surface temperature of the jacket to be 28Ā°c and the surface area to be 1.25 m2, determine the rate of heat loss through the jacket when the temperature of the outdoors is 0Ā°c and the heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface is 25 w/m2Ā·Ā°c. (b) what would your response be if the jacket is made of a single layer of 0.5-mm-thick synthetic fabric? what should be the thickness of a wool fabric (k = 0.035 w/mĀ·Ā°c) if the person is to achieve the same level of thermal comfort wearing a thick wool coat instead of a five-layer ski jacket?

Aballoon is rising vertically upwards at a velocity of 10m/s. when it is at a height of 45m from the ground, a parachute bails out from it. after 3s he opens his parachute and decelerates ata a constant rate 5m/s.when. (a) what was the height of the parachutist above the ground when he opened his parachute? (b)how far is the parachutist from the balloon at t=3s? (c)with what velocity does the parachutist hit the ground? (d)after how long does the parachutist hit the ground after his exist from the balloon?
