For an uniformly accelerated motion, we can write
2ah=v_f^2-v_0^2
where a=g=-9.81 m/s^2 is the acceleration of this motion, which in this problem is the gravitational acceleration, with a negative sign because it points downward, against the direction of the motion; h=0.540 m is the distance covered by the flea, and v_0 is the initial velocity. 

At the maximum height, the velocity is zero, so v_f =0. Therefore we  can solve to find v_0:
v_0 =  \sqrt{2ah}= \sqrt{2(9.81 m/s^2)(0.540 m)}  =3.25 m/s

Answer:

A) 35 ft

B) 5 ft

C) Net displacement = distance covered by the dog to retrieve the stick - distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick

Explanation:

A) Total distance covered by the dog = 20 + 15

                                  = 35 ft

B) Since the other distance covered by the dog before chewing the stick, after the retrieval, was in an opposite direction to the initial direction, then;

total displacement of the dog = 20 - 15

                                  = 5 ft

C) Net displacement = distance covered by the dog to retrieve the stick + distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick

But, displacement involves a specified direction. The distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick was in an opposite direction to the initial direction.

Thus,

Net displacement = distance covered by the dog to retrieve the stick - distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick

A sample of helium (He) occupies 8.0 liters at 1 atm and 20.0◦C. What pressure is necessary to change the volume to 1.0 liters a
nevsk [136]

Apply the combined gas law

PV/T = const.

P = pressure, V = volume, T = temperature, PV/T must stay constant.

Initial PVT values:

P = 1atm, V = 8.0L, T = 20.0°C = 293.15K

Final PVT values:

P = ?, V = 1.0L, T = 10.0°C = 283.15K

Set the PV/T expression for the initial and final PVT values equal to each other and solve for the final P:

1(8.0)/293.15 = P(1.0)/283.15

P = 7.7atm

Energy is transferred by the process of convection from the hot water at the bottom of the tank to the cooler water at the top.
iragen [17]
The transfer of energy means, in convention process, transport of matter. In this case, hot water has lower density than cool water. The water with less density ascends and leaves gaps that are occupied with cooler water "packages".

An electron with a speed of 1.2 × 107 m/s moves horizontally into a region where a constant vertical force of 5.2 × 10-16 N acts
Aliun [14]

Answer: 0.642mm

Explanation: F= force = 5.2×10^-16 N,

v = velocity of electron = 1.2×10^7 m/s,

m = mass of electron = 9.11×10^-31 kg.

We will assume the motion of the object to be of a constant acceleration, hence newton's laws of motion is applicable.

Recall that f = ma.

Where a = acceleration

This acceleration of vertical because it occurred when the object deflected.

5.2×10^-16 = 9.11×10^-31 (ay)

ay = 5.2×10^-16 / 9.11×10^-31

ay = 5.71×10^14 m/s²

For the horizontal motion, x = vt

Where x = horizontal distance = 0.019m and v is the velocity = 1.2×10^7 m/s,

By substituting the parameters, we have that

0.019 = 1.27×10^7 × t

t = 0.019 / 1.27 × 10^7

t = 1.5×10^-9 s

The vertical distance (y) is gotten by using the formulae below

y = ut + at²/2

but u = 0

y = at²/2

y = 5.71×10^14 × (1.5×10^-9)²/2

y = 0.00128475/2

y = 0.000642m = 0.642mm
