Question

suppose you record the projectile motion of a basketball. the frame rate in your video camera is 60.0 frames per second. predict the time interval of 1 video frame in minutes. note: 1 minute = 60 seconds. multiple choice 0.0167 minute 60.0 minutes 1.10 minutes 2.78×10⁻⁴ minute

Explanation:

Step1: Find time per frame in seconds

Frame rate is 60.0 frames per second, so time per frame (in seconds) is $\frac{1}{60.0}$ seconds.

Step2: Convert seconds to minutes

Since 1 minute = 60 seconds, multiply by $\frac{1}{60}$ (to convert seconds to minutes): $\frac{1}{60.0} \times \frac{1}{60} = \frac{1}{3600} \approx 2.78\times10^{-4}$ minute.

Answer:

2.78×10⁻⁴ minute (the option with this value)
