Answer:84.672 joules.

Explanation:

1) Data:

m = 7.2 kg
h = 1.2 m
g = 9.8 m / s²

2) Physical principle

Using the law of mechanical energy conservation principle, you have that the kinetic energy of the dog, when it jumps, must be equal to the final gravitational potential energy.

3) Calculations:

The gravitational potential energy, PE, is equal to m × g × h

So, PE = m × g × h = 7.2 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 1.2 m = 84.672 joules.

And that is the kinetic energy that the dog needs.

Describe three societal needs that drive scientific endeavor and give an example of a scientific endeavor associated with each.
Trava [24]

The answer is:


1. Cure disease

2. Improve livelihoods

3. Understand nature and themselves.


1. Disease has plagued humans since the first man. Therefore, man has always used science to seek a cure for any emerging disease such as cancer today

2. Humans use science to improve livelihoods such as means of faster traveling and increasing yields in the fields

3. Science has been used to understand humans and the environment in which they live. This is evident with the numerous scientific probes that explore the earth and space collecting and analyzing data.

Mr. Jones's prescription calls for 1.04 tablets per day. Based on this information, how many tablets should Mr. Jones take per d
Serjik [45]

Due to the fact that no one can consume .04 of a tablet, we can round down this answer to 1. This means that Mr. Jones should take C- 1 tablet per day.

I hope I've helped! :)
