The ocean's level is currently rising at about

Physics

Answer:

The sea level will be 5m higher in 1667 y (years)

Explanation:

From the question, the rate at which the ocean's level is currently rising is about 3mm per year.

First, we will convert mm (millimeter) to m (meter)

1 mm = 0.001 m

Then,

3 mm = 3 × 0.001 m

= 0.003m

That is, the rate at which the ocean's level is currently rising is about 0.003m per year.

Now, to determine how long it will take for the ocean's level be 5 m higher than now at the given rate,

If the ocean rises 0.003 m in 1 year, then

the ocean will rise 5 m in x years

x = (5 m × 1 year) / 0.003 m

x = 5 / 0.003

x = 1666.67 years

x ≅ 1667 years

Hence, the sea level will be 5m higher in 1667 y (years)

What is the mass of a bird if it has a potential energy of 147J when flying at a height of 30 m above the ground?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

0.5kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Potential energy = 147J

Height  = 30m

Unknown:

Mass of the bird  = ?

Solution:

Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body. Now, the expression for finding the potential energy is given as;

      P.E  = mgH

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

H is the height

      147  = m x 9.8 x 30

         m = 0.5kg
