A basketball referee tosses the ball straight up for the starting tip-off. At what velocity (in m/s) must a basket ball player leave the grownd to rist 1.24 m above the floor in an attempt to get the ball?

Respuesta :

Answer:4.93 m/s

Explanation:

Given

height to reach is (h )1.24 m

here Let initial velocity is u

using equation of motion

[tex]v^2-u^2=2ah[/tex]

here Final Velocity v=0

a=acceleration due to gravity

[tex]0-u^2=2\left ( -g\right )h[/tex]

[tex]u=\sqrt{2gh}[/tex]

[tex]u=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 1.24}[/tex]

[tex]u=\sqrt{24.328}[/tex]

u=4.93 m/s
