<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>

What is a law in physics? state the criteria for a statement to be a law.​
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

By nature, laws of Physics are stated facts which have been deduced and derived based on empirical observations. Simply put, the world around us works in a certain way, and physical laws are a way of classifying that “working.”

How does the amount of precipitation affect the amount of weathering ?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer: Rainfall and temperature can affect the rate in which rocks weather. High temperatures = more rainfall increasing the rate of chemical weathering. Rocks in tropical regions exposed to a lot of rainfall and hot temperatures weather faster than similar rocks in cold, dry climates.

He instruction booklet for your pressure cooker indicates that its highest setting is 11.1 psi . you know that standard atmosphe
blagie [28]

Given that,

Atmospheric Pressure = 14.7 psi

Cooking Pressure = 14.7 +11.1 = 25.8 psi

Take, Atmospheric Temperature = 25 °C

Cooking Temperature = ??

Since, we know that Gas equation is given by:

PV = nRT

or

P ∝ T

P1 / T1 = P2 / T2

14.7/ 25 = 25.8/ T2

T2 = 25*25.8/14.7

T2 = 43.87 °C

The cooking pressure will be 43.87 °C.
