The standard height of a basketball hoop is 3.05 m and the standard distance between the hoop and the free throw line is 4.57 m. If a 1.90 m tall Stephen Curry shoots the ball from the free throw line at an angle of 54.0 degrees with respect to the horizontal, at what speed should the ball leave his hands?

The aurora is caused by electrons and protons from the sun that get captured by the earth's magnetic field and spiral into its atmosphere along the direction of the earth's magnetic field. The typical speed of captured electrons is about 0.003c (0.003 times the speed of light), and the typical speed for captured protons is about 20 times smaller. What are the maximum radii of the circular component of these particles' motion around the field direction? What are their orbital frequencies?
Space debris left from old satellites and their launchers is becoming a hazard to other satellites.

What is the velocity in m/s of the rivet relative to the satellite just before striking it? (Enter the magnitude.) 10651 m/s (c) Given the rivet is 2.00 mm in size, how long in seconds will its collision with the satellite last?

A communications satellite with a mass of 230 kg is in a circular orbit about the Earth. The radius of the orbit is 26,600 km as measured from the center of the Earth. (a) Calculate the weight of the satellite on the surface of the Earth. 2.26 V kN (b) Calculate the gravitational force exerted on the satellite by the Earth when it is in orbit. Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. kN
A negative charge of q = -2.2 * 10-17 C and m = 2.3 * 10-26 kg enters a magnetic field B = 1.9 T with initial velocity v = 270 m/s as shown in the attached image.

Select the correct option. Physicist Robert H. Goddard of Clark University was the creator of the technology used by modern rockets (those that are powered by liquid fuels and not by gunpowder). In a Smithsonian Institute publication, the professor said that the rockets would serve, in addition to transporting meteorological measurement equipment beyond the Earth's atmosphere, to travel to the Moon. Due to this, on January 13, 1920, a review "A severe strain on credulity" was published in the "Topics of the Times" of the New York Times, where the possibility of the operation of the rocket outside the Earth's atmosphere is questioned since without a resisting atmosphere, the propulsion engines could not fly, thus mocking Professor Goddard's knowledge. The New York Times published 49 years later (on July 17, 1969, when the Apollo 11 astronauts headed for the Moon): "The Times regrets the mistake." That error was due to the fact that the New York Times considered that: A) would receive a…
After spending an entire year together in an apartment, Grover and Elmo have decided to have some extended time apart in different parts of the state. When they get to the airport, they find out that there is a 65.000 km/hr wind that points 55.000 degrees E of S. Grover's plane flies for 75.000 minutes before arriving at his vacation destination, which is 60.000 km W and 150.000 km S of the airport. (a) Find the magnitude and direction of Grover's plane's velocity with respect to Earth in km/h.(b) Find the direction and magnitude of the velocity of Grover's plane with respect to the wind in km/h.(c) Draw a picture showing how the vectors add together graphically for Grover's plane during his trip. Clearly label each vector with its variable name as well as its magnitude and direction. (Hint: Make your picture large enough so that those labels are clearly visible.)(d) The plane that Elmo flew in has an airspeed of 45.000 km/hr. In what direction must the plane point so that it can…
