Respuesta :

Answer:

6.34 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

A basketball player leave the ground to rise 2.05 m above the floor  in an attempt to get the ball.

We need to find the velocity must a basketball player leave the ground. Using equation of kinematics as follows :

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

As it leaves the ground, its final velocity, v = 0

a = -g (opposite to gravity)

[tex]-u^2=-2gs\\\\u^2=2\times 9.8\times 2.05\\\\u=6.338\ m/s[/tex]

or

u = +6.34 m/s

So, the basketball player must leave the ground with a velocity of 6.34 m/s.
