<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>

Because of the curvature of the earth, the maximum distance D that you can see from the top of a tall building of height h is es
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

 D = 9.9 10⁶ mi

Explanation:

In the exercise they give the expression for maximum viewing distance

       D = 2 r h + h²

Ask for this distance for a height of 1100 feet

Let's calculate

        D = 2 3960 1100 + 1100²

        D = 8.712 10⁶ + 1.21 10⁶

        D = 9.92 10⁶ mi

         D = 9.9 10⁶ mi

A garage door opener has a power rating of 350 watts.
Lelechka [254]
We Know, Power = Energy/Time
Substitute the known value. which is P = 350 watt, & T = 30 sec
350 = E/30 
E = 350 * 30
E = 1050 Joules.

So, your answer is 1050 Joules.
Hope this helps! Keep studying!

during conversion water to ice,forces of attraction between molecules. OPTIONS:1.)Decreases 2.)Increases 3.)Does not change 4.)C
In-s [12.5K]

because water is loosely packed but when it is cold it becomes closely packed in order to form ice and thus the force attraction between them also increase.
