Answer:

A change in pressure

Explanation:

This is because, the deeper you dive, the height of water above you creates a pressure on you. So, as the depth increases, the height of water increases, thus its weight on you, thus its pressure on you also.

Also, as you gain altitude as you climb a mountain, the height of air above you decreases. This thereby decreases the weight of air above you thus, decreasing the pressure of air on you.

So, in both cases, there is a change in pressure as height or depth changes. An increase in height results in decreased pressure and an increases in depth results in increased pressure.

A ball is thro.d hit the grouvelocity)?

kati45 [8]

Answer:

The velocity of the ball is 3.52 m/s.

Explanation:

A projectile is any object that moves under the influence of gravity and momentum only. Examples are; a thrown ball, a fired bullet, a kicked ball, thrown javelin, etc.

Given that the ball was thrown vertically upward on the top of a skyscraper of height 61.9 m. So that the velocity can be determined by;

u = $\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g} }$

Where: u is the velocity of the object, H is the height and g is the gravitational force on the object. Given that: H = 61.9 m and g = 10 m/ $s^{2}$ , then;
