Two basketball players are essentially equal in all respects. (They are the same height, they jump with the same initial velocity, etc.) In particular, by jumping they can raise their centers of mass the same vertical distance, H (called their "vertical leap"). The first player, Arabella, wishes to shoot over the second player, Boris, and for this she needs to be as high above Boris as possible. Arabella jumps at time t=0, and Boris jumps later, at time tR (his reaction time). Assume that Arabella has not yet reached her maximum height when Boris jumps.
Find the vertical displacement D(t)=hA(t)-hB(t), as a function of time for the interval 0<t<tR, where hA(t) is the height of the raised hands of Arabella, while hB(t) is the height of the raised hands of Boris.Express the vertical displacement in terms of H, g, and t.
Find the vertical displacement D(t) between the raised hands of the two players for the time period after Boris has jumped (t>tR) but before Arabella has landed.Express your answer in terms of t, tR, g, and H.
What advice would you give Arabella to minimize the chance of her shot being blocked?

What z-score corresponds to the sample mean
: When a production machine is properly calibrated, it requires an average of 25 seconds per unit produced, with a standard deviation of 3 seconds. For a simple random sample of n 5 36 units, the sample mean is found to be }x 5 26.2 seconds per unit..

Modify the program to add a function to sum the rainfall
: Modify the program to add a function to sum the rainfall for each year. (Hint: you need to sum for each year. You can do this using a looping structure). Support your experimentation with screen captures of executing the new code

What speed can this car travel around curve b
: Two banked curves have the same radius. Curve A is banked at 12.1o, and curve B is banked at an angle of 15.1 o. A car can travel around curve A without relying on friction at a speed of 13.1 m/s. At what speed can this car travel around curve B wi..
