From a height of 2.15 m above the gym floor, Bob tosses a shot straight up next to the basketball hoop (a lay-up) with a KE of 5.40). If his regulation-size basketball has a mass of .6 kg, will his
shot go as high as the 3.04 m hoop? Use the law of conservation of energy.

Follow these directions and answer the questions. 1. set up the ripple tank as in previous investigations. 2. bend the rubber tube to form a "concave mirror" and place in the ripple tank. the water level must be below the top of the hose. 3. generate a few straight pulses with the dowel and observe the reflected waves. do the waves focus (come together) upon reflection? can you locate the place where the waves meet? 4. touch the water surface where the waves converged. what happens to the reflected wave? 5. move your finger twice that distance from the hose (2f = c of c, center of the curvature) and touch the water again. does the image (the reflected wave) appear in the same location (c of c)? you may have to experiment before you find the exact location. sometimes it is hard to visualize with the ripple tank because the waves move so quickly. likewise, it is impossible to "see" light waves because they have such small wavelengths and move at the speed of light. however, both are examples of transverse waves and behave in the same way when a parallel wave fronts hit a curved surface.

An athlete is holding 24 lb of weights at a height of 6 inches above the stack as shown. to lower the weights, she applies a constant force of 5 lb to the handle. determine the velocity of the weights immediately before they hit the stack.
