Abasketball player wishes to make a stunning last-second basket. with .8 seconds on the clock, she wants the ball to enter the hoop (height 3.05m) as time expires in the game. she shoots the ball with an initial speed of 7 m/s, from 2.1 meters above the ground.
1. at what angle (from the horizontal) does she shoot the ball?
2. draw qualitatively accurate position, velocity, and acceleration graphs for both dimensions of the ball's motion while it is in flight.

High schoolphysics 5+3 pts a neon light consists of a glass tube with metal wires at each end. when connected to a high-voltage source, the gas glows. if a fly lands on the glass tube, what will most likely happen? a) the fly will not feel a shock because the glass conducts any free electrons back into the gas. b) electrons will flow directly from the metal wires along the glass and shock the fly. c) the fly will not feel a shock because the glass insulates it from the electrons in the gas and the metal. d) electrons that are moving through the gas will be conducted through the glass and shock the fly.

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. what best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to transfer when the molecules are close together. sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart. sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of solids is always greater, so the heat transfers the sound energy. sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is so great the sound cannot travel though the steam particles.
