Answer:

Correct answer is  air pressure is decreasing

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure is usually measured with the help of  barometer. A barometer consist of  a glass tube in which there is a column of mercury. This column of mercury changes with the changing weight of the atmosphere. It means height of mercury column depend on air pressure.Height of  height of a column in a mercury barometer is directly proportional to atmospheric pressure.Therefore a decrease in the height of a column in a mercury barometer means that air pressure is decreasing.

A basketball is held over head at a height of 2.4 m. The ball is lobbed to a teammate at 8 m/s at an angle of 40'. If the ball i
cupoosta [38]

Explanation:

since both the teammates are of the same height, their height won't matter. Because now the basketball won't cover any vertical distance.

We have to calculate its range the horizontal distance covered by it when tossed from one teammate to the other.

range can be calculated by the formula :-

\boxed{\mathfrak{range =  \frac{  u  {}^{2}   \sin 2\theta }{g} }}

u is the velocity during its take off and \theta is the angle at which its thrown

Given that

  • u = 8m/ s
  • \theta = 40°

calculating range using the above formula

= \frac{ {8}^{2} \sin2(40)  }{10}

=  \frac{64 \times  \sin(80) }{10}

value of sin 80 = 0. 985

=  \frac{64 \times 0.985}{10}

=  \frac{63.027}{10}

= 6.3027

Hence,

\mathfrak { \blue{the \: teammate \: is \:  \red{\underline{6.3027 \: meters} }\: away } }
