A 101 kg basketball player crouches down 0.380 m while waiting to jump. After exerting a force on the floor through this 0.380 m, his feet leave the floor and his center of gravity rises 0.920 m above its normal standing erect position. (a) Using energy considerations, calculate his velocity (in m/s) when he leaves the floor. m/s (b) What average force (in N) did he exert on the floor

Light from the sun reaches the earth in 8.3 minutes. the velocity is 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. how far is earth from the sun? i know how to get to d = (3 x 10^8 m/s)(498 sec). i just don't know how to get from there to the answer being 1.5 x 10^11 m.

Waves are used in many practical applications to support work, entertainment, and health. one example is the use of ultrasound imaging to safely track the development of a growing fetus. what is a specific example of a practical application of waves in medicine, entertainment, safety, or other fields? provide a brief explanation of how the properties of waves are useful to that application.

Photoelectrons with a maximum speed of 6.50 x 107 m/s are ejected from a surface in the presence of light with a frequency of 6.75 x 1014hz. if the mass of an electron is 9.10 x 10-31 kg, calculate in joules the maximum kinetic energy of a single electron. 3.84 x 10-15 j 1.92 x 10-15 j 5.92 x 10-23 j 3.07 x 10-16 j
