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>
Crushing pressure. Human bodies are used to air pressure. The air pressure in our lungs, ears and stomachs is the same as the air pressure outside of our bodies, which ensures that we don't get crushed. Our bodies are also flexible enough to cope when the internal and external pressures aren't exactly the same.
The energy of the wave will decrease.
The energy of a wave is given as
E = h f
where E = energy of waver
h = plank's constant
f = frequency of the wave.
From the formula , we see that the energy of the wave is directly proportional to the frequency of the wave. hence as the frequency of the wave decrease, the energy of the wave will decrease.
