<span>0.52% First, let's convert that speed into m/s. 150 km/h * 1000 m/km / 3600 s/h = 41.667 m/s Now let's see how much time gravity has to work on the ball. Divide the distance by the speed. 18 m / 41.667 m/s = 0.431996544 s Now multiply that time by the gravitational acceleration to see what the vertical component to the ball's speed that gravity adds. 0.431996544 s * 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.233566131 m/s Use the pythagorean theorem to get the new velocity of the ball. sqrt(41.667^2 + 4.234^2) = 41.882 m/s Finally, let's see what the difference is (41.882 - 41.667)/41.667 = 0.005159959 = 0.5159959% Rounding to 2 figures, gives 0.52%</span>

A waitperson carrying a tray with a platter on it tips the tray at an angle of 12° below the horizontal. If the gravitational fo
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The answer is 1.0 N

Explanation:

inclination of tray=12^{\circ}

gravitational Force=5 N

Now this gravitational force has two component i.e.

5\sin \theta  is parallel to the tray =1.039 N

5\cos \theta  is perpendicular to the tray =4.890 N

A thin uniform rod (length = 1.2 m, mass = 2.0 kg) is pivoted about a horizontal, frictionless pin through one end of the rod. (
Anika [276]

Answer:

a=9.8 rad/s^{2}

Explanation:

Torque, \tau is given by

\tau=Fr where F is force and r is perpendicular distance

R=0.5Lcos\theta where \theta is the angle of inclination

Torque, \tau can also be found by

\tau=Ia where I is moment of inertia and a is angular acceleration

Therefore, Fr=Ia and F=mg where m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity

Making a the subject, a=\frac {Fr}{I}=\frac {mgr}{I} and already I is given as  

I=\frac {mL^{2}}{3} and r is 0.5Lcos\theta hence  

a=\frac {0.5mgLcos\theta}{1/3 mL^{2}}

a=\frac {3gcos\theta}{2L}

Taking g as 9.81, \theta is given as 37 and L is 1.2

a=\frac {3*9.81cos37}{2*1.2}=9.7932679419

a=9.8 rad/s^{2}

A bird sits on a high-voltage power line with its feet 3.87 cm apart. The wire is made from aluminum, is 2.11 cm in diameter, an
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

ΔV=0.484mV

Explanation:

The potential difference across the end of conductor that obeys Ohms law:

ΔV=IR

Where I is current

R is resistance

The resistance of a cylindrical conductor is related to its resistivity p,Length L and cross section area A

R=(pL)/A

Given data

Length L=3.87 cm =0.0387m

Diameter d=2.11 cm =0.0211 m

Current I=165 A

Resistivity of aluminum p=2.65×10⁻⁸ ohms

So

ΔV=IR

=I(\frac{pL}{A})\\ =I(\frac{pL}{\pi r^{2} } )\\=I(\frac{pL}{\pi (d/2)^{2} } )\\=165A((\frac{(2.65*10^{-8})(0.0387m)}{\pi (0.0211m/2)^{2} } ))\\=4.84*10^{-4}V

ΔV=0.484mV

What happens to the rock structure during each of type of change?
EastWind [94]
Previous rocks melt and collide and to form igneous rocks.
Igneous rocks disintegrate due to weather disruptions and get carried away by water, where they form sedimentary rock strata by lithification.
Igneous and sedimentary change by heat and pressure to form metamorphic rocks.
Metamorphic rocks melt and become igneous rocks.
