The pressure in a liquid at a given depth is called the hydrostatic pressure. This can be calculated using the hydrostatic equation:
P = ρgh
P = (1000 kg/m³)(9.8 m/s²)(4 m)
<h2>
P = 39200 Pa</h2>
Answer: #.37 times greater
Explanation: Volume of a sphere is: V =
·π·r³
Since it is given the diameter of the basketball and the softball, their ratios are r₁ = 3in and r₂ = 2in, in which index 1 represents the basketball and index 2, the softball.
Calculating the volume of basketball:
V₁ =
. 3.14 . 3³
V₁ = 113.04 in³
Calculating the volume of softball:
V₂ =
. 3.14 . 2³
V₂ = 33.5 in³
Comparing one volume with the other:
=
= 3.37
We have that V₁ = 3.37V₂
This means the volume of a basketball is 3.37 times greater than the volume of a softball.
Answer:
Approximately
.
Assumption: the ball dropped with no initial velocity, and that the air resistance on this ball is negligible.
Explanation:
Assume the air resistance on the ball is negligible. Because of gravity, the ball should accelerate downwards at a constant
near the surface of the earth.
For an object that is accelerating constantly,
,
where
is the initial velocity of the object,
is the final velocity of the object.
is its acceleration, and
is its displacement.
In this case,
is the same as the change in the ball's height:
. By assumption, this ball was dropped with no initial velocity. As a result,
. Since the ball is accelerating due to gravity,
.
.
In this case,
would be the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground. Solve for
.
.
