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>
Heat your answer is Heat.
Hoped I helped.
A. Average speed is weighted mean (1 × 2 + 2 × 3 + 3 × 5 + 4 × 7 + 3 × 9 + 2 × 12.5)/15 = (2 + 6 + 15 + 28 + 27 + 25)/15 = 103/15 = 6.867 b. RMS is square root of 1/15 times sum of squares of speeds Sum of squares is 4 + 9 + 9 + 25 + 25 + 25 + 49 + 49 + 49 + 49 + 81 + 81 + 81 +156.25 + 156.25 = 848.5
c. RMS speed = √(848.5/15) = 7.521
Most likely the speed is the peak in the speed distribution, which is 7.
