Answer:

Height, h = 16.67 m

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a squirrel is 0.765 kg.

He jumps off the tree and hits the ground with 125 joules of energy.

It is required to find the height up on the tree the squirrel was when it jumped.

The energy possessed by the squirrel is called its gravitational potential energy. It can be given by :

E=mgh

h is height up on the tree the squirrel was when it jumped

h=\dfrac{E}{mg}\\\\h=\dfrac{125\ J}{0.765\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\h=16.67\ m

So, the squirrel will go to a height of 16.67 m.

A research submarine can withstand an external pressure of 62 megapascals (million pascals) all the while maintaining a comforta
Alex

Answer:

<em>The depth will be equal to</em> <em>6141.96 m</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

pressure on the submarine P_{sea} = 62 MPa = 62 x 10^6 Pa

we also know that P_{sea} = ρgh

where

ρ is the density of sea water = 1029 kg/m^3

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h is the depth below the water that this pressure acts

substituting values, we have

P_{sea} = 1029 x 9.81 x h = 10094.49h

The gauge pressure within the submarine P_{g} = 101 kPa =  101000 Pa

this gauge pressure is balanced by the atmospheric pressure (proportional to 101325 Pa) that acts on the surface of the sea, so it cancels out.

Equating the pressure P_{sea}, we have

62 x 10^6 = 10094.49h

depth h = <em>6141.96 m</em>

If a car travels 600m west in 25 seconds, what is its velocity?
Elena L [17]

v =  \frac{ \:the covered distance}{time} \\

v =  \frac{600}{25} =  \frac{6 \times 100}{25} = 6 \times 4 = 24 \:  \\

v = 24 \:  \frac{m}{s} \\

_________________________________

If west means the west of the axis x the velocity equal :

- 24 \:  \frac{m}{s} \\
